Mallorca: Drach and Hams Caves, and Porto Cristo Day Tour
About This Experience
This full-day tour from your hotel covers all of eastern Mallorca's most iconic underground attractions in a single itinerary. Hotel pickup is included from across the island, and the air-conditioned coach travels first to the Caves of Hams — a 19th-century discovery famous for stalactites shaped like fishhooks, a formation so unusual its origin still isn't fully understood. The underground Venetian Lake shimmers in azure hues beneath the cave's ceiling formations.
The tour then moves to the Caves of Drach, where the atmosphere shifts in scale and drama. These four enormous caverns contain some of Europe's most impressive stalactite formations, and the cave maintains a constant temperature of 21°C year-round, making the walk comfortable regardless of the season. A licensed guide accompanies you throughout both cave visits, providing historical and geological context.
The highlight of the Drach section is Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world. Guests watch a live classical music concert performed by musicians on floating boats in the near-darkness — a moment that visitors consistently describe as the most memorable of the tour. Entry tickets to both cave systems are included in the price.
The day concludes with a stop in the charming fishing village of Porto Cristo, where you have free time to explore the harbour, walk the beachfront, or browse the local shops. The final stop is the Majorica Pearls Factory Shop — a chance to discover how Mallorca's most famous craft product is made and explore a range of fine jewellery.
Explore Mallorca’s natural marvels and discover fine pearls on a day tour. Visit Hams Caves, Drach Caves with Lake Martel, Porto Cristo, and the Majorica Pearls Factory Shop.

Incredible day trip. The pearl shop is not essential, but the caves are just beautiful and the concert was very relaxing.

The caves and the tour guide were great. The concerts in the caves were too short for my taste, but I still recommend it 100%.
