Overview

Skip the overpriced ship excursions. After the port shuttle drops you at the terminal gate, your Valencia & Go driver is already waiting — no queues, no confusion. We take you to Europe's longest navigable underground river: the Caves of San José, carved by water over millions of years into a cathedral of rock. Walk one kilometre through ancient stalactites and silent chambers, then board a flat-bottomed boat and drift deep into the cave where daylight disappears. On the way back, a 45-minute panoramic drive through Valencia — City of Arts & Sciences, the Turia Gardens, the old town. 4h 45min total. Back at the gate with time to spare. The tour guide will provide commentary in your chosen language. However, the boat trip through the caves is operated by local boatmen and may be conducted entirely in Spanish. Regardless of this, your guide will always provide commentary on the caves and points of interest in your chosen language before and/or after the boat trip.
