Gobbins Visitor Centre - Larne

I want to thank the staff for being so nice and accommodating, especially Robert and our guide Roberta. We took a wrong turn on the way and ended up a bit late, but they let us go with another group, which was very kind of them.
The walk itself is stunning and we were lucky enough to see puffins on the day! 100% recommend it!

Just fabulous. Fab tour - Phil, our tour guide was very informative about the history of the area and the cliffs, not to mention hilarious! It's a good walk, some areas tougher than others - you need to think twice if you have any mobility or cardiovascular problems. We were blessed enough to see some puffins! Sometimes if you're lucky you will see dolphins or seals - we sadly, we're not. The views are beautiful, some days you can see as far as Scotland apparently! I highly recommend this trip!

What a cool experience! My guide Billy did an awesome job leading the tour! Hiking shoes are required but if you don’t have any, you can rent them when you buy your ticket online. The hardest part of the walk is the hike back up the steep hill at the end, but you can take your time. I definitely recommend doing this if you’re in the area! Some really amazing views!

A great experience with beautiful scenery. This is a guided group tour walk and needs to be prebooked. It starts at Visitor Centre and the guide takes you to the start of walk spot in a mini bus. The helmets (provided) are required and boots are checked. The Viewing Point can be accessed independently. Best photo op if you are at the back of your tour group as you use the waiting time for photos. The walk is not a loop and you need to pass the other groups on the way there and back. The tunnel passage is dark and through a slightly wet path. We went on a beautiful warm sunny day and really enjoyed the walk.

We had a great time at the Gobbins. Stunning views and great paths by the cliffs.

The visitor centre provides the helmet and hiking shoes with additional fees but I’d highly recommend bringing your own hiking shoes and helmet.

A great place to visit but be aware it is hard going up and down the cliffs. Staff very friendly and helpful. Cafe great a grand wee Ulster fry rounded off my trip perfectly. Would highly recommend and is agen on the north coast 👍❤️

We enjoyed our walk. Our guide was very nice and interesting!

The path is fairly easy, not really technical as warned in the beginning. The most difficult part is the walk down (and back up after) to the platforms.
If you are a regular hiker it's really easy, if you rarely walk yes take care down the access path.

It seems to me that asking for high walking shoes with ankle support (or rent them) and selling products to carry your water bottle (and not allow you to take a small backpack) feels a bit commercial / pushy but nothing major.
Overall we had a great time!

I really enjoyed my visit to the Gobbins. The trail was shorter and less challenging than I expected, but it was still a beautiful experience. We found it quite easy, even though it took about two and a half hours due to waiting for other groups to pass on the narrow path. It's a straightforward route—one way in, one way out—which might have felt easier because of the perfect dry and windless weather. The rented boots were surprisingly comfortable and light, which made the walk more enjoyable. Our guide was fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable, adding a lot to the overall experience.
