Itinerary
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. Enjoy a boat trip on Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world if you wish after finishing the concert at Cuevas del Drach Entrance included in the tour price.
Discovered in the 19th century, the Hams Caves offers some of the most impressive underground views in Europe. Its stalactites are shaped like fishhooks and the blue lake known as “The Venetian Lake” offer one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island. The tour does not include the visit to the Blue Cave (Cueva Azul).
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.

Traveler reviews
If you enjoy queuing, this is for you.
If you like shuffling around with people randomly stopping infront of you absolutely packed into caves, this is for you. The caves are actually stunning and the music concert is good, but they let too many people in at once it’s completely rammed and ruined the whole thing. Maximising profits has ruined it. We had a car and just dropped by but I would have been gutted if I spent hours there and back on a coach. The other thing is people inability to not record stuff when they are told not to in every language under the sun. So some guy walks around and snipers people with a torch to have a go at them in the middle of the concert.
Hams Caves, worth a visit
There is not much talk about these caves, but it is really worth it. Due to its spaciousness, amazing rooms and representation with play of lights, it was a good idea to visit them
Great places to visit. Always find a better way to do the jobs.
Very good tour. Nicely organised. The only suggestion is there should be proper and good communication between the tourist and the local tour operator. Our bus came one and half hour late this clearly means plan 'B' was missing. There should always be a extra bus ready.
Better than average tour
Always fun to partake of a organised bus tour instead of renting a car or try the local buses. My impression was that people from all around were bussed to Palma/harbour at the cathedral and then stayed on one bus. However when returning the guide hastily read who should switch bus outside of Palma. Never outright said "this bus will NOT continue to Palma even though it left Palma this morning". My wife and I equipped with the absolute #1 surname in Sweden were referred to simply "Surname" with no further clarification that indeed it was us. This was less than good. The guide said the same things in five languages which was a bit to much. A plus would be information that there would be possibility for lunch near a beach, we could have brought swimming gear. The caves were interesting though and this was a good way to see them
Nice trip, however....
The trip was great, we really liked the caves. With the Pearl Shop you have to be careful that the sellers scan the right items and prices. Had a negative experience.
