San José Caves Shore Excursion with Boat Tour & Port Pickup
Description
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.
