Aboard · VALENCIA BOAT TOURS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 8 valencia boat tours justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Sail along Valencia’s coast for 60 to 90 minutes with a Spanish- or English-speaking crew. Choose a daytime or sunset departure, enjoy views of the City of Arts and Miquelet, and select the seasonal Wednesday DJ option with cava at sunset.
“I did really like it. The music could be a little bit quiter (so the talking would be easier) but overall really nice”
Travel from Valencia to Vall d’Uixó by air-conditioned bus, then explore the Caves of San José by boat and on foot. Your Valencia & Go guide, such as Ferran or Magdalena, explains the region and cave system in English, Spanish, Italian, Polish, or German. Allow four hours, including 30 minutes of free time.
“I really enjoyed the cave. It was a great trip. Our Polish guide, Magdalena, was fantastic. During the bus ride to the cave, she told us a lot about Valencia, the attractions we passed, the region, and the crops. Magdalena also spoke about Spanish cuisine and dishes, and recommended some good places to relax and have fun. The cave itself is very beautiful, and you can also grab a coffee, eat something, buy souvenirs, and take a souvenir photo in the cave. The bus is air-conditioned and comfortable. Everything was relaxed, without any rush. I highly recommend it, especially on hot days.”
Sail Valencia’s coast aboard Boramar’s spacious double-decker catamaran during the day or at sunset. You’ll get a cocktail or other drink, coastal views, music, and a DJ on Saturdays. The cruise lasts 50 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the departure and boarding time.
“Tour of sea and view or sunset. Music and 1 drink.”
Spend 90 minutes aboard a spacious catamaran off Valencia. Sunbathe on the suspended nets, watch the coast from the water, then jump in during a swim stop. English and Spanish crew provide instructions, with an optional DJ and drinks available to buy. Expect a relaxed, family-friendly boat trip rather than a long sailing excursion.
“Vibe boat was good, the bar guy was really inpleseant to be working, it was clear. there was music e the break for swimming is good.”
Travel from Valencia to Albufera Natural Park with a local guide, stopping at El Saler, Gola de Puchol, and El Palmar. You will visit an 18th-century barraca and cruise the lagoon on a silent electric boat. Choose a morning outing with a snack or an afternoon departure for sunset.
“Tour guide was awesome and super knowledgeable about the park! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
Join local guides from family-run Embarcadero El Tío Pastilla for a quiet 45-minute electric boat ride through the Albufera. Hear about rice, fishing, birds, and Arab influence in Spanish or English. Choose the final, one-hour departure for sunset, with guide Rafa often leading the trip.
“I had a lovely boat ride! It ended up being only me and my lovely guide during my slot. But this was very enjoyable, very peaceful ride and I learnt a lot about the lagoon and Paella!”
Take a 45-minute boat ride across Albufera lake from Rosa la Barquera and Tonet Pier. A Spanish-speaking boatman such as Raul or Marta explains the lake, wildlife, and local traditions. Add a visit to a traditional barraca, then enjoy easy parking and restroom access.
“Amazing overall. My family and I enjoyed it a lot!”
Travel from Valencia to Coves de Sant Josep for a 45-minute boat ride on Europe’s longest navigable underground river. Your bilingual host, often Miguel, Anthony, Ivan, or Maties, handles the transfer and entry. Cave commentary may be mainly in Spanish, but your host can answer questions afterward.
“We had a great day trip. Anthony our driver and host was so friendly, welcoming and spoke really good English! The caves were really beautiful and it’s worth a visit. The tour guides on the boat didn’t speak English only Spanish, which didn’t bother use but may bother others.”
Pick a river, a coast or a harbour.
