About This Tour

Just minutes from Valencia, explore Spain’s largest freshwater lagoon on a guided eco-friendly tour. Discover Albufera’s rice fields, wild birds, and the roots of paella with a certified local guide. Stroll the Mediterranean dunes of El Saler, visit the Gola de Puchol where lake meets sea, and explore El Palmar, a quiet fishing village on an island in the lagoon. Glide across the calm waters on a traditional boat and spot native birds in their natural habitat. Choose a sunset tour for breathtaking lake views, or a morning tour for a slower pace with a refreshing drink and fresh fruit included. A cultural, scenic, and all-inclusive experience—perfect for couples and families or anyone seeking nature, beauty, and authenticity just outside the city.
