Valencia, the city of the Fallas, the City of Arts and Sciences, and the host city for many world-class events, is a terrific destination to go sightseeing along the coast.

You can visit eight different beaches in Valencia and enjoy miles of fine sand and swim at a comfortable temperature. You can also participate in several activities and water sports that will turn your leisure time into absolutely amazing days.

For all of these reasons, we urge you to try kayaking, a pleasant and complete exercise. It is a unique way to cool off on Levante's beaches. Kayaking on the beach is one option, but you can also rent kayaks or travel on routes around the capital through reservoirs and rivers.

Here are some of the best places in the province to go kayaking!

Where to rent or do a kayak excursion in Valencia?

- River kayaking: From calm water to white, challenging waters, a river kayaking route is always a fun option, and the difficulty level depends on your choice. These are the rivers that we recommend for a fun kayak trip:

• Mijares River: Along some stretches of this river in Montanejos, you will feel bounce on the leaps and feel all the intensity that kayaks can provide you. Rough seas, strong currents, and rapids will provide you with an exciting and emotional encounter.

• The Cabriel River: This kayaking path passes through Cofrentes and Venta del Moro and is home to schools of trout and barbel. In addition, several of these pathways lead to the historic Castle of Cofrentes, which dates from the 11th century.

• River Turia: If you choose this river route, you will be enthralled by its sceneries while you go through Ribarroja del Turia and through Valencia before joining the Mediterranean.

- Kayak in reservoirs: If you want to do this activity in a calm setting away from the beach, kayaking in a reservoir is an excellent choice.

• Contreras Reservoir: Thanks to the stunning views provided by the Hoces del Cabriel Natural Park, you can enjoy a wonderful kayaking experience quite close to the town of Venta del Moro.

Renting a kayak in Gandía is a beautiful experience because while paddling in the Mediterranean, you can admire the beauty of the sand dunes of Guardamar de la Safor beach.
