]]>Choose Ethical Experiences
Engaging in responsible wildlife tourism starts with choosing responsible attractions. Avoid places that exploit animals for entertainment and financial gain, and instead, opt for sanctuaries that prioritize conservation and rehabilitation over flashy shows and customer interaction. As much as you may want to ride that elephant, in reality, it’s a lot more fun for you than it is for him.
Respect Habitat
You wouldn’t like it if someone came into your house and left a bunch of trash behind, so why do it to animals? Respecting the natural habitats of wildlife is crucial for their well-being and maintaining ecological balance, so be sure to take all of your belongings with you, including biodegradable items such as banana peels. Additionally, keep a safe distance from animals to avoid causing stress and follow any other established guidelines, such as viewing time limits.
Minimize Your Impact
Even outside of sanctuaries and reserves, it’s important to be aware of the impact of our choices and opt for sustainable options when we can. Ecosystems function as just that—systems, and something as small as a plastic straw can end up harming wildlife if not disposed of properly. Staying in eco-friendly lodgings if possible, avoiding single-use plastics, and opting for public transportation are just some of the ways we can protect wildlife and support a sustainable future for all.

]]>As Northern Ireland’s sole UNESCO World Heritage site, Giant’s Causeway proudly displays over 40,000 basalt columns, a geological masterpiece formed around 60 million years ago.
The columns, some reaching 12 meters in height, create a pathway leading from the cliff foot and disappearing beneath the sea. Predominantly hexagonal, they are a testament to a significant stage in the Earth’s evolution.
Drawing nearly 1 million visitors in 2019, this unique marvel is by far one of Northern Ireland’s most beloved tourist attractions.
The Legend
Irish legend has it that the columns are remnants of a causeway constructed by the Gaelic mythology giant Fionn mac Cumhaill. According to the story, Fionn was challenged by the Scottish giant Benandonner and built the causeway so they could both meet for the duel.
Getting By at Giant’s Causeway
If you’re a solo-type, you can take your time to explore the fabulous landscape of Giant’s Causeway for free, strolling across a network of four walking trails spanning the 5km site.
If you’re into a premium experience, consider getting a Visitor Experience ticket including guided tours, audio guides in 11 languages, and access to the shop, cafe, and exhibition.
