For 60 minutes, we will travel through canals, the Gola del Pujol, and open areas of the lake; you will understand why L'Albufera is a unique wetland. Our guides interpret the landscape: water management, the rice cycle, traditional fishing, and birdlife. This activity is suitable for all ages and perfect for introducing you to tourism in La Albufera.
Boat rides at sunset

Option available with toast on board for groups. If you want unforgettable photos, this is your moment. Ideal for couples, families, and teams looking for a memorable end to the day.

We'll recommend a route based on your time: a short ride to the lake viewpoint or a full loop for the more adventurous. We have our own workshop and offer basic assistance along the route.
Package: Bike rental + Boat ride
The most popular "all-in-one" package. First, bike through the forest and along the beach; then, take an electric boat to the heart of the lake.
