Dunluce Castle Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Dunluce Castle in 2026?

Adult admission tickets to Dunluce Castle cost £6, while child (ages 5–7) tickets are £4, and family tickets cost £18. Children under five can visit for free. Tickets grant full access to the coastal ruins, and you can wander around the old ramparts and climb the towers.

Q: Where’s Dunluce Castle located, and how do I get there?

Dunluce Castle sits on the northern Antrim coast of Northern Ireland, just west of the Giant’s Causeway. To reach the castle, you can drive, take bus 402 from Portrush, or join one of the many Giant’s Causeway or Game of Thrones tours. From Belfast, it’s about a 70-minute drive.

Q: What are the opening hours of Dunluce Castle?

The castle is open daily year-round, excluding December 24, 25, 26, and January 1. Opening times vary slightly throughout the year, depending on the season. From March through October, it’s open from 9.30am to 5pm, while the rest of the year it’s open from 9am to 4pm. There’s no need to pre-book tickets, but last entry is 30 minutes before closing.

Q: Was Dunluce Castle used in *Game of Thrones*, and can you take themed tours?

Yes … sort of! While Game of Thrones fans will likely recognise Dunluce Castle—the landmark inspired the design of Pyke Castle of House Greyjoy—the evocative coastal ruins weren’t able to accommodate filming itself. Many Game of Thrones tours of Northern Ireland nonetheless include a photo stop at Dunluce.

Q: Is Dunluce Castle wheelchair accessible or suitable for visitors with limited mobility?

Yes, but access is limited and assistance may be required. Dunluce Castle is accessible for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility, and staff can organise ramp access to most parts of the castle with advance notice. However, there is some uneven terrain, steep sections, and a few steps.

Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour

Juliegevurtz, Jun 2026

Worth the trip

It’s a long day but worth seeing the sites in N. Ireland. You don’t need to bring your passport with you going from the Republic of Ireland to the North Ireland. There are plenty of rest stops for rest rooms and food. The sites, Dunluce castle and Great Causeway are magnificent. The Titanic museum primarily focused on the building of it.

Steven O’Malley and Billy were spot on with the perfect day! Steven was charismatic, knowledgeable, and passionate about everything involving our experience! I was impressed with the Billy Yu/Steven connection. They worked well together and I felt safe. The Coach was absolutely beautiful, clean, and comfortable!

This was that magical combination of an excellent series of experiences/sights, a clean and comfortable bus, and the *most* informative/fun/funny tour guide/driver duo. Despite not great weather during our day, Noel and Brian made our tour so memorable. If I could give it 6 stars, it would deserve it.

Great way to spend a day in Northern Ireland. Full day, lots to see and explore. Dave was a great guide very knowledgeable of Irish History. And our driver Krishna was excellent maneuvering the crazy Irish Roads. The star of the bus was Dolly the Mascot she kept the group, Dave & Krishna in line.

Know before you go

This is a must forGame of Thrones fans, as well as anyone interested in Irish history and legends.
The castle is perched on top of a cliff above the sea, so children should be kept away from the edge.
Bring a raincoat and an umbrella, as the weather can be brisk and the ruins provide minimal protection.
The site has limited wheelchair access.
