Highlights
- Porto Cristo - The name Port de Manacor/Porto Cristo, meaning “The Port of Manacor/The Port of Christ” given to it back in 1260 AD at the time of the Christian invasion of Mallorca, A fishing boat was found washed up on the beach containing a crucifix. Legend has it that an ox was carrying an icon of God through the town, and the ox stopped and refused to walk anymore.

Additional Information
Mallorca’s most prized jewels include its caves, pearls, and beaches. The Drach and Hams Caves are some of the island’s most impressive subterranean attractions, offering an unparalleled natural spectacle.
The Drach Caves are among the most frequently visited caves in Europe and have been compared to the 8th Wonder of the World by many. Lake Martel, one of the world’s biggest subterranean lakes, regularly hosts classical music performances. The interior temperature remains consistent throughout the year, around 21 degrees Celsius. We advise visitors to wear comfortable footwear during the tour.
Expect your travel within the caves to approximately take an hour.
The cost of entry is covered by the tour price.
For over a century, Majorica has manufactured top-notch pearls. The company’s organic pearls have gained international fame and are virtually indistinguishable from their natural counterparts. A trip to the factory shop leaves you with the perfect chance to treat yourself or your loved ones to a unique, original gift.

Magical - Pre book tickets! We didn’t and just rocked up to see it was sold out. Luckily we weren’t too far away. It is claustrophobic, busy and a bit stressful especially with young children, but it’s such a great atmosphere and so beautiful. Lots of steps and quite steep, so need to be very careful. The Musicians on the boat was the cherry on the cake, really magical, and something you will never forget. Be warned, as soon as the lights are on, there is a stampede to the boats, I anticipated this and sat as near to the lake as possible on the end. I pre warned my partner so he could grab our daughter. The folk who sat up high stood no chance without waiting a good 30 mins. We were on the 2nd boat, and even then a non British tourist literally attempted to push in front of me as I was boarding to sit at the front of it! Thankfully the wonderful man who was helping people on, told the man to get back, and wait his turn, rightfully so. A lovely experience, just don’t let others spoil it.

half and half - The caves were amazing. Sadly got a little touristy at the end with the music and light show. Kind of ruined the experience. The Pearl Shop was a waste of time. No staff to really serve you in the speed required to get back on the bus. It wasn't really a factory tour, more of a 'buy something' tour.

Worth the journey. - The spectacle of walking through the caves was breathtaking. We especially enjoyed the brief music concert that brought a peaceful moment even though there were crowds of people.

Very well organised, pearl shop visit felt like a forced shopping trip - Very well organised, guide very helpful and patient with all the questions.
The stop at the pearl shop was far too long, felt unnecessary and felt more like a forced shopping trip.
Time could be spent better if we got longer “free time” at the caves, for a coffee of something

Caves best, but too much bus travel time. - Our pick-up point was Santa Ponsa, from there drach caves are very faar. Over-all this trip has more travel time than stoppage at the Caves. We wanted to take lunch at Caves but we had 0 time left. Caves are best and once in a lifetime experience with nice 10-15 min music concert in it. Guide was explaining everything in multiple languages continuously like a radio which was bit irritating. Overall it was okay experience except Caves itself.

The caves are amazing, the rest was not - The cave is absolutely incredible, and I enjoyed the brief concert. However, it was challenging to focus because toddlers were disruptive, and a baby was crying. Please, for everyone's enjoyment, do not bring an infant or toddler to the caves. Additionally, it is a long trip on a bus to get there, we didn't stop at Porto Cristo, and the stop at the Pearl Shop is strange and a complete a waste of time.

Don’t Go To Caves in Mallorca - The tour didn’t meet expectations. Based on the tour descriptions, more was expected, and this sentiment was consistently expressed by other customers during the tour. We would not recommend for other travelers.

Not as advertised - The bus was very late arriving. There were long lines to get in. It is mostly a walking tour. There is no light show. The boats play music have lights on them. There was not enough time to wait in line for the boat ride because by the time the show ended, we had 10 mins to get to the bus and the lines were very long. Even if we did the boat ride, it was about 100 ft max. It is not at all the experience we anticipated. You can drive there yourself and buy tickets much cheaper.
