An exciting and unforgettable trip!
It was the first trip I booked and it was one to remember! I waited too late to get the kayaking and it was a tad hot for the hiking BUT I got to enjoy a dip in the river (fed by the famous thermal spring) and to visit and have lunch in Montanejos, a short 20 min walk along the gently winding river. I couldn’t resist getting nibbles at the bakery and buying olive oil while there! Our next stop - the waterfall, was over the top (alas we were too pooped to swim) but the last treat (yum - icecream!!) was the best! Great value for your money. Not only do you get to enjoy the experience but the way there is quite scenic! I can highly recommend this tour. Victor and Carla were great guides - professional and full of advice about other activities - shopping, restaurants and places to visit. Thank you, Carla! Thank you, Victor!

Hike in Montanejos - I highly recommend!
I did a day trip to Montanejos and I’m absolutely enchanted! ✨ It’s such a beautiful nature spot, with breathtaking views of the rock formations and a crystal-clear river. Everything was very well organised, and we felt so well looked after by Carla, who were incredibly friendly, approachable, and full of fun facts about the area. My friend even arrived in flip-flops, but they kindly provided her with a pair of trainers so she could safely join the hike. ❤️ Thank you for such a wonderful day! ✨

Unforgetable day in Montanejos
We had the pleasure of spending a day in Montanejos, with our wonderful guide Carla. The ride was a bit over an hour and we stopped inbetween to grab some coffee, where we all got to know eachother. When we arrived at the spot my buddy and I went to relax, while Carla joined the rest, that chose the hike. The scenery was breathtaking and I enjoyed every second of it.After that we drove to a jawdropping waterfall, where Carla told us about some fun history, you'll have to go yourself if you want to learn about it ;) and to finish things off we went to this ice cream spot that was extremely good. The day slowly came to an end and turns out Carla has been taking candid photos the whole time. It really elevated the experience. The tour was great, yes but honestly I enjoyed being in such great company more that anything. (the group as well as Carla). I can't recommend this trip enough. It's a day I won't forget for a long time

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Valencia-Montanejos: Choose Hiking, Rafting or Relax: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Valencia.
How much does Valencia-Montanejos: Choose Hiking, Rafting or Relax cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Valencia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Valencia-Montanejos: Choose Hiking, Rafting or Relax take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Valencia is not rushed.
Is Valencia-Montanejos: Choose Hiking, Rafting or Relax worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 56 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Valencia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Valencia-Montanejos: Choose Hiking, Rafting or Relax?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Valencia-Montanejos: Choose Hiking, Rafting or Relax suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Valencia-Montanejos: Choose Hiking, Rafting or Relax?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Valencia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Valencia and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Valencia-Montanejos: Choose Hiking, Rafting or Relax start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Valencia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Valencia?
+
On Outty we rank every Valencia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Valencia Bike Tour from the City to the Beach, plus Bike Guy App!, Paella Cooking Class, Wine Tasting & Central Market in Valencia, Real Paella Cooking Class – Market Visit & Sangría Workshop. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Valencia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Valencia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
