Our take

It's the best half-day trip from Valencia: a navigable underground river, the longest in Europe, less than an hour from the city and with transport included for 69 €. It's not a must-see like the City of Arts, but if you're back in Valencia or travelling with kids, the boat ride through the cave is a different and rewarding plan. With 4.6 out of 5 and hundreds of reviews, it delivers.
