Walking
Private Montanejos Hike and Thermal Springs Relaxation
Canyon trails and thermal springs — Valencia's wilder hinterland.
Cruise suitability: Requires a long, unhurried port call
Montanejos offers crystal-clear pools, canyon scenery and thermal springs east of Valencia. This private day trades urban monuments for landscape — with honest road time and return planning.
Choose Montanejos when nature and relaxation outweigh cathedral squares.
Weather and season affect spring conditions — confirm before booking.
Not suitable for short port calls or guests who prioritise the Old Town.

Return to ship guarantee
Return to ship guarantee: itineraries are planned around your Valencia cruise call so you are back at the terminal with time before all-aboard. If an operational delay on our side causes you to miss the ship, we work with the local provider under the published return-to-ship assurance for that booking.
Getting there from the cruise port
Cruise ships berth at the Port of Valencia (Puerto de Valencia) passenger terminal area. The historic centre is typically 15–25 minutes away by shuttle, taxi or metro depending on berth and routing — many guests transfer toward Plaza del Ayuntamiento and the Old Town rather than walking the full port corridor. Turia Gardens forms a green link between the centre and the City of Arts and Sciences. For Sagunto, canyon hikes or interior day trips, confirm meeting instructions and plan from your ship's all-aboard time, not merely the published departure. Aim to be back at the terminal 60–90 minutes early; longer countryside days need the larger end of that buffer.
