VALENCIA · SUNSET TOURS
The sun goes down over the rice fields, not the sea, which is why the lagoon boats and the west-facing terraces beat the beach here. These 10 are priced and timed, and the times move by two hours across the year.
Sail Valencia’s Mediterranean coast with an English- or Spanish-speaking crew, passing the City of Arts and Sciences and Miquelet from the water. Choose a daytime cruise or sunset sailing with a glass of cava. Wednesday sunset departures may include a live DJ during the advertised summer season.
“MUST do if you are in Valencia! Really recommend during sunset”
Sail Valencia’s coast aboard Boramar’s spacious double-decker catamaran by day or at sunset. You’ll get a cocktail or drink, coastal views, music, and a DJ on Saturdays. The cruise lasts 50 minutes to 1.5 hours, though boarding and return time can affect the time spent at sea.
“We had an amazing time on the catamaran cruise! The atmosphere was very nice and lively throughout. The cocktails were really good, and the music was fantastic — it kept the energy high the whole time. A lot of us ended up dancing and just having a great time on the boat. It was a super fun experience and definitely a highlight of our trip!”
Meet Wavepol by Malvarrosa Beach, sign in, collect your drink, and join a small boat cruise for sunset over Valencia’s coast. Captains including Andres, Ramon, Juan, and Dary add friendly service and music. Groups can be as small as two or three, though the boat holds up to 12.
“Very good experience. Since we were all there early we actually took off slightly earlier and had a longer experience. Guide drove us to a nearby and very cute harbour to then go back onto the sea. Beautiful sunset. Plays house music very loudly, which may have also been due to demographic but for me added to the experience! Offers multiple drinks (water, beer, cava, tinto de verano etc) whenever the group decides they want to have it.”
Travel from Valencia to Albufera Natural Park for a guided walk through lake country and the El Saler dunes, then watch the Mediterranean sunset from a quiet boat. A bilingual guide accompanies you, with boat commentary sometimes given in Spanish. Nico has led the trip.
“Well organized and in time. Nico was a great guide, very eloquent and helpful. Nice ride on the lake.”
Sail from Valencia’s Marina for about 90 minutes, passing Veles i Vents and the Malvarrosa coast as the sun drops. You get a cava cup, music, toilets, and a bar, but expect a shared cruise for up to 104 passengers, not a quiet sailing trip.
“Música agradable para sentir la brisa del mar, perderte en su inmensidad y divisar un bello atardecer. Estarás cómodo sentado en la nave y disfrutarás de una cava con tu compañía favorita”
You’ll leave Valencia for Albufera Natural Park, walk near its rice fields and El Saler’s dunes, then take a calm one-hour sunset boat ride. Guides such as Alejandro and Nico have earned praise for their humor and clear local stories. Expect a small slice of nature, not a full-day outing.
“Alejandro was a great host, who mixed knowledge with humor. A learned a few things during this trip and had a great time soaking in the beauty of the park”
Meet at Wavepol’s orange office by Malvarrosa Beach, collect your included beer, sangria, sparkling red wine, soft drink, or water, then spend one hour on a small catamaran with a captain, lounge music, sea views, and sunset colors.
Meet at Centro Comercial Saler for a four-hour Albufera outing with a guide, private air-conditioned transport, a one-hour boat ride, bird watching, and a full paella menu in El Palmar. Sunset departures change by month. English and Spanish tours are available.
“È stato meraviglioso un’esperienza unica Paella buonissima e un ringraziamento speciale a miguel che ci ha spiegato tutto con grande passione Grazie davvero”
Join guide Dimitri for a private 4-hour hike from Serra to a ninth-century Moorish castle. Walk gravel tracks, visit two old watchtowers, enjoy coffee or tea, and watch sunset over Sierra Calderona. The 8-kilometer route gains 200 meters and includes hotel transfers within 25 kilometers of Valencia.
“Beautiful hike in the hills over Valencia. Well led by Dimitri, keeping an eye on my elderly companion! Enjoyed the Castillo at the summit and surprise waterfall hidden in trees. Thanks to our guide!”
Join Natalia el Alba for a small-group evening from Valencia to the Garrofera beach and El Palmar. Expect pine woods, rice fields, fishing boats, a shallow lagoon cruise, and sunset views. Pickup is offered, the tour runs in English, and groups are limited to seven people.
“The views were amazing!!! I never saw such beautiful sunsets in my life 💛 That place a great recommendation to know Valencia!Auto-translated”
Pick a riverbed, a market or a boat.
