Itinerary
The name Porto Cristo, meaning "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. Hence the people saw this as a sign and the name was derived from that belief it was a clear sign that Christ wanted to be here.
Made in Manacor, Majorica produces high quality pearls for more than a hundred years. The organic pearls are famous worldwide and it is almost impossible to distinguish them from the natural ones. The visit to the factory shop is an opportunity to make yourself or your dear ones a special original gift.
The Drach Caves are among the most visited in Europe and many consider them the 8th Wonder of the World. The Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world, is the scene of a classical music program. The inside temperature is very pleasant and constant throughout the year: 21 Celsius. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes during the visit. Approximately 1 hour of travel inside the caves. Entrance included in the tour price.
Pass by: Our Tour begins in Camí de la Escollera in front of the Cathedral of Palma. Palma was founded as a Roman camp upon the remains of a Talaiotic settlement. The city was subjected to several Vandal raids during the fall of the Western Roman Empire, then reconquered by the Bizantine Empire, then colonised by the Moors (who called it Medina Mayurqa) and, in the 13th century, by James I of Aragon.

Traveler reviews
Click Mallorca made our trip to the Caves of Drach super easy
One of the best excursions we did in Mallorca, very smooth experience with click mallorca. Very good communication on behalf of the team and very quick at answering our questions. And the caves were even more impressive in person. 100% recommend!
Bus ride disappointment
The bus was 45 minutes late!! When it finally did come, we were hushed on board and couldn't talk....just like little kids. Quite strenuous climbing many steps which was difficult for one member of our group. Very humid made it difficult to breathe. The cave formations was fascinating.
READ ALL THE DETAILS OF THE TRIP AND ASK QUESTIONS.
The Drach Caves are amazing to see. The Pearl Shop was just a bathroom break for most on the bus. Not one person bought anything. Just a collaboration to push tourists through. The biggest issue is that my friend and I spent 3 hours on the bus after the tour to arrive at our pick up destination. This was due to miscommunication on part of the tour operators. We were so late that we lost a dinner reservation at a restaurant we had planned on visiting. Very frustrating and upsetting .
20 min late on pick up,...
20 min late on pick up, fantastic communications via wats app. Pearl shop a lot of cheap nasty stuff at inflated prices, shop next door better. Photo for advertising tour implies WE would be on boat ride not the musicians. Music great. Way toooooo many people in caves at one time need smaller groups
The best!!!
Well organized in managing the flow of visitors. Absolutely stunning formations and with stunning lighting.Awe inspiring in how it was developed and is maintained. The concert was perfect for the setting and a perfect ending to the tour. A highlight of our trip.
