San Jose Caves Valencia Day Trip

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 largest 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 board a boat and sail down the longest subterranean river in Europe. Enjoy a 55-minute cruise on the underground waterway, viewing enormous galleries and passing under stalactites, including spaces like "The Cathedral" and the "Bat Room".

A small area will allow you to walk inside the cave. In total, you'll travel 850 meters by boat and 200 meters walking through the dry gallery, learning about the origins and evolution of the caves throughout 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.
