Every Valencia boat tour here was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept 3 tours rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices go from €59 per person for a guided park outing with an electric boat ride to €120 for a cave shore excursion with port pickup. The cave trips bundle admission and transport with a boat ride, so you have the journey from Valencia and entry covered in the same booking.
A quick way to choose: an Albufera boat tour does not include swimming in the lake or at the beach. For the regular San José Caves trip, you need to reach the meeting point yourself because hotel pickup is excluded; the meeting time can also change with the cave ticket time.
