Porto Cristo: Caves of Hams Entry Ticket
About This Experience
The Caves of Hams sit just outside Porto Cristo and stretch 850 metres through 15 interconnected chambers, each carved by the slow work of Mediterranean groundwater over millions of years. Three main cave sections — the Round Cave, the Blue Cave, and the main gallery — reveal an evolving world of rock formations that range from needle-thin stalactites to massive limestone columns.
The Blue Cave is the showpiece of the visit. Cutting-edge LED technology bathes the chamber in blue light while an educational documentary projected directly onto the rock face tells the story of Mallorca's first inhabitants and the geological forces that created the cave system. Samson's Pillars, the plains of Fra Mauro, and the Pit of Hell are among the named formations you'll encounter.
The visit ends at the underground lake known as the Sea of Venice. Here, a classical music show inspired by the Carnival of Venice unfolds with live Mozart melodies and laser lights reflecting off stalactites and the still water below. Guests may cross the lake by wooden boat, drifting silently through one of Mallorca's most intimate natural theatres.
Above ground, the Caves of Hams complex includes a botanical garden filled with free-flying bird species native to the Balearic Islands, a picnic area, and free parking. The unique micro-climate of the gardens supports plant species rarely found elsewhere on the island, making the grounds worth exploring before or after the cave tour.
Enjoy a walk through the Caves of Hams and walk through 850 meters of extraordinary caves with 15 different areas. Be amazed by the Magical Mozart show in the underground lake called The Sea of Venice.
