Explore one of Valencia's most spectacular natural environments, the labyrinthine St Joseph's Caves, and enjoy a boat trip on Europe's longest underground river. What are you waiting for?

Valencia's San Jose Caves

On the morning of your tour, you'll be picked up from your selected meeting point in Valencia city centre at the indicated time, and set off towards the north, in the direction of Vall de Uxó, a town near Castellón where the famous cave system - the biggest in the region - is located. After around an hour's drive, you'll arrive at San Jose Caves, or the grutes de Sant Josep, in Valencian. These caves are the largest underground caves in the Valencian Community.

To explore the cave system in depth, you'll climb on board a boat and sail down the longest subterranean river in Europe. Enjoy a 55-minute cruise on the underground waterway, marvelling at the enormous galleries, passing under dramatic stalactites, and visiting spaces like "The Cathedral" and the "Bat Room".

There's also a small area where we'll walk inside the cave. In total, we'll travel 850 meters (about half a mile) by boat and 200 metres (650 ft) walking through the dry gallery. Continue your adventure on foot, learning all about the origins of the caves and their evolution over the course of history.

After making the most of your time at the San Jose Caves, you'll return to the starting points in Valencia, arriving 4 hours after departure.

San Jose Caves Pickup Points

When making your reservation, you'll be asked to choose one of the following pickup points in Valencia:

Hotel NH Valencia Center
Torres de Serranos
Ciudad de la Justicia

Generally, pickup will take place between 8 and 8:30 am, regardless of the time you select when booking. We'll contact you well in advance to confirm the exact pickup time.

Option for Cruise Passengers

If your arrival to Valencia is by cruise ship, you have the option to reserve the trip to the caves for cruise passengers. If you select this option, our team will pick you up directly from the cruise terminal, and your itinerary will align with the previous option. Moreover, on the return journey, you'll experience a more in-depth panoramic tour of Valencia, accompanied by a smaller group for a personalized experience.

Important

Please keep in mind that the boat drivers do not speak English, but that you'll receive in-depth explanations from the guide before and after the boat ride.
