Cuevas del Drach - The next stop is the renowned “Cuevas del Drach,” or “Dragon Caves,” an underground marvel formed over millions of years. These caves have captivated historians, geographers, and travelers for generations.
With a pre-booked ticket, visitors can bypass the entry line and dive straight into the experience. They will have approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to explore the caves at their own pace and fully appreciate this natural wonder.
- Cuevas del Drach - Inside the caves, a self-guided route takes visitors through stunning rock formations, all beautifully illuminated to enhance their natural beauty. The tour concludes at Lake Martel, one of the world’s largest underground lakes.
Here, guests will enjoy a brief live classical music concert in a truly enchanting setting. Following the concert, there is an option to take a short but unforgettable wooden boat ride across the lake — a unique and picturesque moment included in the tour.
Visitors will also experience a gentle light show that simulates a sunrise, adding to the enchantment of the visit.
- Majorica - To round off the excursion, there is time to visit the Majorica Pearls showroom, conveniently located next to the caves. Guests can browse or shop for high-quality, locally made pearl jewelry at special prices — perfect as a gift or souvenir from Mallorca.

- Your excursion starts in Palma at 9:30, but we offer a exclusive courtesy return bus from your resort to take you to the meeting point where the trip starts, and then back to your resort. This is free and optional. Then, you don’t need to pay extra for a taxi or to get on different public buses to reach the place where the tour starts.
- The tour of the Caves of Drach includes a total of approximately 320 steps, of which 119 are uphill. The paths are well maintained and safe, with lighting and handrails in key areas. This experience is suitable for most visitors, including seniors. There’s no need to rush — the entire visit through the caves lasts around 2 hours, giving plenty of time to walk comfortably at your own pace. If you or someone in your group has reduced mobility or difficulty with stairs, we recommend considering this before booking, as wheelchair access is not available inside the caves. For healthy adults and seniors in average condition, walking slowly and taking short breaks makes the route fully manageable.

Is worth a trip - We were there in the rental car. However, we had to wait from 11.05 to 12.00 until the next guided tour. But it was worth it. It's a very nice experience

Brilliant tour, well led by Katarina. - We booked this half day Caves tour online late afternoon the day before we went. Excellent communications from the team throughout. Pick up was on time and driver Fernando and tour lead Katarina were brilliant. Katarina pointed out many interesting sights and facts en route which was about 1 and a half hours from our hotel in Peurto Pollensa due to lots of pick ups. She gave us our tickets for the Caves and some tips on how to make the most of it. Caves were interesting. It did feel like a procession at times and you don’t get much chance to stop and stare, but it was fine. The orchestra on the boat was very good. We managed to get on a rowing boat quickly for our exit from that section. We then had about an hour free time so walked to Porto Cristo harbour for a pint and snack.
Great trip, thanks all.

Very beautiful and rich experience - I heard some people compaining about the program and have some doubts before going, but i'm very glad I've decided to go.
It takes some time to reach the coves (I tootk the tour from Palma), but the bus was very comfortable and the meeting poing was a very easy place to get. Hint: ask your provider your bus number prior to the trip, it makes it easier to find the bus.
They really gather a lot of people hourly to visit the caves. That's what allows them to get everyoe together for the music show. I found the coves very beatiful and the whole experience very rich.
The pearl factory is near the caves and the tour I took didn't force us to go to the factory. After the visit you coul have some free time to lunch, rest or visit the factory if you wanted to.
I surely would go again.

Spectacular Caves - The caves are spectacular and the orchestra on the boats is special. We booked the half day so we could just relax whilst the tour guide did all the booking for us.
On route we saw the Rafael Nadel Academy

Excellent half day excursion from Palma. - The caves are an absolute wonder! 🤩 The staff within were courteous and kept the walking queue moving. Plenty of time to take the odd picture as long as you kept the flash off. The concert at the end was enthralling 🎶
Before the concert, we were politely requested on several occasions not to film or take pictures during the performance . What a shame some entitled idiots thought that request didn’t apply to them and spoiled the enjoyment of anyone around them. How the cave staff remained polite and courteous throughout is beyond me.

Efficiently managed, friendly trip to a spectacular venue with a magical climax. Great value. - This 5-hour round trip was a birthday treat and a perfect half-day out. It was well-organised, kept on schedule and full of useful commentary. Our guide, Guisseppe (aka Joe) spoke at least five languages to suit the mixed group, and his timing with announcements about places of interest along the route was excellent. The journey from Palma to the caves took about an hour and we arrived in good time to join our 1100am entry slot queue. Several hundred visitors are admitted on the hour, each hour, and our party (with tiockets p[rovided by our guide) joined the throng in the queuing system. Progression through the cave system is carefully managed and takes up to an hour. At the bottom of the system there is a large lake with tiered seating for ALL the visitors. The lights were dimmed and from here we watched and listened spellbound to the 10-minute concert performed by a handful of professional musicians in a small boat being rowed slowly across the lake. Several hundred visitors, completely quiet and enthralled. Magical and very memorable. After the concert the option to be rowed back across the lake towards the exit was taken up by about half the crowd who waited patiently for their turn on one of the half dozen boats.
Back outside, the facilities for comfort breaks, refreshments, buying souvenirs etc, and the time available for this were very good. A really woirthwhile trip, with the concert being the highlight.

False advertidibg - That the advertisement gives the idea that you will get on a boat, and that is not so. Very disappointed

Do not book this tour if... - Do not book this tour if you need it to be on time. We had to be back on board at 2:30 - tour was billed as 9:30 am start, 4 hrs, so back at 1:30. We were 30 mins late leaving, at lunch I asked guide if we should take cab back to port ($95 euros) because we HAD to be back on board at 2:30. We were told no problem. Left Caves 30 mins late, too. Long story short, we were the very last people on board. Total stress. Norwegian was calling us every couple minutes, figured we made it with about 5 mins to spare - 2:55 pm, ship cast off at 3. I gave 2 stars because Caves were beautiful (5 *) but need more reliable tour.

Friends trip - We arrived at the indicated location, but it was incorrect. After calling support, we didn’t receive the necessary information or help for over an hour. When, after many calls, they finally messaged us with the correct location, it was already too late — they said the bus had left and no one would wait for us. We asked for a refund for our canceled trip, but the “wonderful” staff said they wouldn’t refund even the smallest part of the payment.

Go by yourself - We booked, no explanation.
We were next door we did not pay attention because it was written deoaet Palma. We went to palmas by car to realize that the caves were closer to our hotel (error on my part). We paid 148 euros with guide and tour transport. Result we did not take the transport and the guide gives you screw place and manage therefore no explanation. Go by yourself is much cheaper €17 per person. Request for a refund of part of it understanding that we made a mistake refund refused I will never do it again with TripAdvisor
