Top Belfast On the Water

When your cruise ship docks in Belfast, enjoy this exciting shore excursion to the Giants Causeway. Cruise up the coast in a comfortable smaller-sized coach, enjoying the rugged coastline, and then experiencing the Giants Causeway before making pitstops at Dunluce castle, Carrick-a- Rede rope bridge and lunch in the village of Ballycastle.

Avoid traffic and explore Belfast from the water with this hydrobike adventure on the River Lagan. The perfect low-impact exercise—you can control the pace and decide how fast you go. As you venture along the river, sights you can see include the historic Waterfront, the Harland & Wolff shipyard, the Obel Tower, and plenty of beautiful bridges too.

Spend your time in port wisely with a day-trip to Ireland's North Coast. Meet your driver at Belfast Cruise Terminal for a scenic journey up Ireland's Causeway Coast, known for its coastal cliffs, exquisite views and unique geological formations―including the Giant's Causeway, thousands of columns of layered basalt believed to have resulted from volcanic eruptions. Enjoy some exploring, then head out to see the precariously perched ruins of Dunluce Castle (and learn about its tumultuous past). Afterward return to Belfast for a bit of sightseeing before reboarding your cruise ship.

Learn to throw an axe in Belfast with an axe-throwing session that includes instruction on safety and technique. After expert axe-throwers talk you through the basics, you can challenge yourself with double axe throws, backwards throws, and double-handed throws. No experience is required, and there will be an instructor on hand throughout the lesson who can offer tips on honing your style.
