Itinerario
Creemos en que una excursión es mucho más que llevarle desde su hotel hasta un lugar de interés. Nuestra filosofía es que cada excursión en Mallorca debe ser una experiencia única y, por ello, utilizamos los mejores guías y elegimos los mejores itinerarios para asegurarnos de crear experiencias inolvidables e irrepetibles.
Después de un recorrido en bus por distintos pueblos de Mallorca, visitaremos las famosas "Cuevas del Drach" que son conocidas como "Las Cuevas del Dragón". Estas cuevas tienen millones de años y han sido visitadas por la mayoría de historiadores y geógrafos. Cuando lleguemos allí, tendrás la ventaja de poder saltarte la cola y empezar la excursión sin esperas.
Comenzarás el recorrido por la cueva a pie, subiendo y bajando por sus escalones únicos y continuarás hasta llegar al lago Martel, donde ofrecerán un concierto de música clásica y luego tendrás la oportunidad de cruzar el lago en una pequeña embarcación de madera. (opcional) Este paseo en barco es una experiencia única en la vida y está incluido en el precio. El lago Martel es uno de los lagos subterráneos más grandes que existen. Durante la visita también serás testigo de un mágico espectáculo de luces que recrea el amanecer.
En esta excursión de medio día tendrás también la oportunidad de visitar las mundialmente famosas Perlas de Majorica y comprar regalos o simplemente darte un capricho a precios especiales, ya que hay una tienda de este emblemático establecimiento mallorquín justo al lado de las Cuevas del Drach.

Great experience, the orchestra was brilliant and going in the boat a real bonus. Seeing such a wonderful work of nature was breath taking.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌊🎶✨ We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to the Caves of Drach and that you found this incredible natural wonder so breathtaking. The spectacular rock formations, the underground Lake Martel and the unique atmosphere make it one of Mallorca's most unforgettable attractions. It's wonderful to know that you especially enjoyed the live classical concert and the boat ride across the underground lake. These two moments make the visit truly unique and create memories that stay with our guests long after their holiday. 🚣♀️🎻 Thank you for choosing Nofrills Excursions. We're delighted that you had such a great experience and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Mallorca very soon! ☀️💙🌴 — The Nofrills Excursions Team ✨
To be avoided! An hour's journey where a lady talks to you about Rafael Nadal, the organization on site, and what she sees on the road. Once in Spanish, in English, and in French. On site, there are 500 people entering the cave in a single file. We wait 20 minutes at the bottom for everyone to settle in, to then have a 10-minute classical music concert with people playing on a boat. You can row for 2 minutes to cover 100 meters. These 100 meters can also be done on foot. A positive point is that the cave is beautiful. But there is no story, no explanations... nothing... Just we go down, and we come back up after the mini concert. It is not worth it at all... just pass your way.
Cher client, Votre avis est extrêmement injuste et surtout très révélateur de votre véritable intention. Ce que vous oubliez volontairement de mentionner, c’est que pendant même la visite des grottes, vous aviez déjà envoyé un message pour demander un remboursement intégral simplement parce qu’il y avait “500 personnes”. Nous supposons que vous les avez comptées une par une. Les Cuevas del Drach sont l’une des attractions les plus populaires de Majorque, visitées par des milliers de personnes chaque semaine, surtout en haute saison. Si vous recherchiez une grotte privée et vide, il fallait probablement éviter l’un des sites touristiques les plus célèbres d’Espagne. Vous critiquez également la guide pour parler en plusieurs langues, alors que cela est clairement indiqué dans la description de l’excursion. Et ce qui est encore plus surprenant, c’est qu’après la visite vous avez personnellement dit à la guide qu’elle avait fait un très bon travail et que vous n’aviez aucun problème avec elle — oui, cela a bien été enregistré. Maintenant que votre demande de remboursement à 0€ a été refusée, vous écrivez soudainement un avis agressif et exagéré. Cela en dit beaucoup plus sur votre attitude que sur l’excursion elle-même. La réalité est simple : les grottes sont magnifiques (vous le reconnaissez vous-même), le concert dure environ 10 minutes comme annoncé, la barque est une courte traversée symbolique du lac souterrain, également décrite ainsi, et des milliers de visiteurs apprécient cette expérience chaque année. Chez Nofrills Excursions, avec plus de 20 ans d’expérience à Majorque, nous acceptons les critiques honnêtes. Ce que nous n’acceptons pas, ce sont les avis exagérés écrits uniquement parce qu’un remboursement injustifié a été refusé. — L’équipe Nofrills Excursions 🌴
Good. Beautiful caverns and neat musical event at the end. Will recommend the food and travel experience
Thank you for your review! 🌊✨ We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful Caves of Drach and the overall experience. The caverns are truly one of Mallorca’s most impressive natural attractions 😊 At Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience in Mallorca, we’re proud to offer well-organised excursions combining transport, guide assistance and one of the island’s most iconic sights. We hope to welcome you again soon for another Mallorca adventure! 🌴🎶✨ — The Nofrills Excursions Team
Requested hotel pick up and tour guide confirmed it was possible and provided us with a pick up location for bus stop. Got on the bus they told us to get on, bus was 20 minutes late due to other stops- so we were 25 minutes late to pick up point for tour. Communicated with the tour guide that we would be late due to the transportation they set up. Tour guide did not reply and when we got there was no where to be found and refund was rejected. Scam!
Dear Emily, Your review is extremely unfair and omits the most important facts of what actually happened. Calling this “terrible customer service” or implying any kind of scam is simply false. Let’s be very clear: you originally booked with a normal meeting point. As a goodwill gesture, we manually changed your pickup arrangement so you could join much closer to your hotel. You confirmed this change yourself in writing. The conversation clearly shows this: You asked if pickup near your hotel was possible. We organised an alternative pickup with the Transunion bus at 09:00. You thanked us and confirmed. Then, while already on the bus, you informed us that you would not arrive until 09:45 / 10:00. The main tour departure time was around 09:30, clearly shown on your voucher. At 10:01 we asked: “you are one hour late. where are you?” because at that point the excursion had already departed. You arrived close to 10:00, not at the agreed pickup time of 09:00. The tour cannot delay an entire bus full of passengers for nearly one hour because two clients were late. What is also incorrect in your review is claiming “the transportation they set up made us late.” The transport was an extra courtesy option arranged to help you. The timing issue happened because you boarded the wrong service/timing and did not arrive at the agreed hour. The refund was rejected because this was correctly classified as a no-show caused entirely by not being at the agreed pickup point and time. At Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience in Mallorca, we help thousands of guests every year and regularly go beyond what is required to assist customers. But customers also have a responsibility to arrive at the correct pickup point and at the correct time stated in writing. — The Nofrills Excursions Team 🌴
the pace of the trip was too fast, so we couldn't Swim on the boat
Dear customer, Thank you for your comment. However, we must clarify that swimming is not included or guaranteed on this type of boat excursion, and this is clearly stated in the description. The itinerary and pace are designed to ensure safety, timing and completion of the route, especially when working with scheduled departures and sea conditions. It is not a leisure “swim stop” cruise, but a transport and sightseeing boat experience. For guests specifically looking to swim, we always recommend booking a dedicated swimming or snorkelling excursion, which is designed for that purpose. At Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience, we deliver exactly what is advertised — it’s important to choose the tour that matches your expectations. — The Nofrills Excursions Team 🌴✨
Please be aware, they do not tell you WHO to meet they give you a location on a board walk filled with tour buses and hundreds of people with no info on the tour operators name or company etc. 0 parking in the meet point highly recommended to take a taxi we made the mistake of bringing the rental we arrived 15 minutes early looking for parking driving in circles , one of our party members attempted to locate the tour operator asking numerous buses no one seemed to be able To point us in the right direction. Called Viator customer support they called and emailed the operator with no response , I also messaged and called operator no response. After speaking with customer service and attempting to atleast get a new ticket date as I feel it was an unfair and unclear meet point . Your company refused a new date sadly, so basically they got 300 cad for free what a bad way to run a business I totally understand if we were late but we could not find the operator amongst the chaos. To the operator you should make it very clear who and what you’re meeting bus color and company name , when I called customer service at first I asked numerous times what company am I looking for they couldn’t give me an answer. Not bashing this company just giving my experience as an honest customer. Thanks for the read god bless.
Your review is simply not accurate, and we must be very clear about this. You claim there was confusion and no information, yet this is completely contradicted by evidence: We have a video from that exact departure, showing the meeting point (Bar Varadero) and our 2 clearly identified buses — the only ones operating there at that time. And by the way, you or your group is not there. Here is the video so everybody can see who is not telling the truth: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10gAFaRBuP_RnY-1oe7Tf1qMUzxgs89vD/view?usp=sharing On that same departure, 46 other customers boarded successfully using the exact same instructions you received. They had no issue finding us. So the question is obvious: if everyone else found it, where is the real problem? You also state that no one responded — this is not correct. The platform you booked with reviewed your case and denied the refund because it was a no-show, which confirms you were simply not at the meeting point. Regarding parking: There is blue zone parking nearby. There is also a public car park just a few minutes away: “Aparcament Parc de la Mar - SMAP”, easily found on Google. Additionally, your voucher clearly states that you can contact us the day before to confirm bus details. You chose not to do this, yet you blame the company. At Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience, we provide clear instructions, assistance, and organised departures. What we cannot do is take responsibility when a customer ignores the information provided and then fails to arrive. This was not an issue of organisation — it was something very easy: you were not at the designated meeting point at the designated time. And we even waited 5 minutes more than when we did the video, leaving at 9:40 when pick up time was 9:30.
The tour guide was really nice, we got loads of informations about the trip and he spoke so many languages. The driver was great too, the condition of the coach bus is great, super clean and very comfortable. The drach caves are definitely something to see, the opera was amazing and the pearl museum was so good too. The only thing we would change would be maybe to give visitors an hour extra to have time to enjoy the experience. Inside the caves you had the possibility to have a short boat ride but because it eas so crowded and so busy, we had to choose between waiting in the long queue or go to the pearl museum, so unfortunately we didn't have time for the boat ride. The tour guide did advise us to take the first seats in the cave but people are going in front of you, push and so on, so if you have any kind o manners you would end up at the end on the line. Lovely experience though 🥰
Thank you so much, Denisa! 🌊✨ We’re delighted you had such a lovely experience on your Caves of Drach & Majorica Pearl Shop Tour. It’s great to hear that you appreciated the comfort of the coach, the professionalism of the driver, and especially the effort of the guide speaking multiple languages — they’ll be very happy to read your kind words. The caves and the live concert are truly a highlight of Mallorca, and we’re glad you enjoyed them so much 🎶 Regarding your comments about time and crowds: the number of visitors inside the caves and the queues for the boat ride are managed directly by the venue, not by the tour. As one of the most popular attractions on the island, it can get busy — especially at certain times of the year. That’s why our guide always gives tips (like entering early) to help guests make the most of the experience. At Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience, we focus on providing a well-organised, comfortable and informative tour, so you can enjoy the visit without worrying about logistics. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon for another great Mallorca experience! 🌴🥰 — The Nofrills Excursions Team
There’s definitely room for improvement. This is a very tourist-heavy experience, and unfortunately they seem to admit as many visitors per session as possible. 1. Arrive early for your allocated time slot. We got there about 10 minutes beforehand and still found ourselves behind roughly 100–150 people in the queue. 2. To move around comfortably and properly take in the surroundings, the organisers would ideally limit capacity to around half of what they currently allow. As it stands, you’ll often need to wait just to take a decent photo or even to walk through certain areas. That said, the classical concert at the end is a lovely addition. The acoustics inside the cave are impressive, and the musicians are excellent. 3. At the end, there’s an optional short boat ride. Be aware that this does not take you outside, which isn’t clearly explained. You may also need to queue again for anywhere between 10 and 60 minutes, just to travel around 30 metres. In most cases, it’s quicker and easier to walk back the same way and avoid the wait, especially as there are only a few boats operating with limited capacity.
Dear traveller, Thank you for your feedback. However, your review focuses almost entirely on the experience inside the Caves of Drach, rather than on the service provided by our tour — which suggests that you are reviewing the attraction itself, not the excursion you booked. The caves are one of the most popular attractions in Mallorca, especially during peak periods such as Easter and summer. Naturally, this means there are many visitors. This is no different from other world-famous landmarks like the Sagrada Familia, the Eiffel Tower or major attractions in London — high demand comes with higher visitor numbers. Regarding the boat ride and queues, these are part of the cave management, not controlled by the tour operator. The same applies to capacity inside the caves. What we provide at Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience, is a well-organised excursion: Comfortable transport Guaranteed entry tickets A guide on the bus with explanations and tips A smooth, stress-free experience overall If you prefer to avoid crowds at such iconic sites, the only option would be to visit less popular attractions — but for a place like the Caves of Drach, high visitor numbers are simply part of the reality. — The Nofrills Excursions Team 🌴✨
Excellent communication, very friendly tour guide and driver, brand new bus, and great experience. The classical concert in the cave was outstanding.
Thank you for your wonderful review! 🌟 Nofrills Excursions is delighted you found the experience fun, easy & interesting. With friendly guides, smooth organization, a comfortable bus and the magical classical concert inside the caves, it’s a truly memorable half-day in Mallorca. We’re so glad you enjoyed it! 🎶⛴️✨
Did not really have a pleasant experience on this tour with the big bus. The bus came 25min late to pick us up from the meeting point. The tour of the caves and the concert were a great experience. The transport side of this tour is very much a let down and disappointment. Recommend finding own transport to get to the caves.
Dear Andrew, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Caves of Drach themselves and the beautiful live concert — they truly are one of Mallorca’s most special experiences. 🎶🌊 However, we must clarify a few important points regarding the transport: According to our GPS records, the coach arrived 10 minutes late, not 25. This small delay was due to normal Palma city traffic. The journey from Palma to the caves takes around 75 minutes, which is exactly what was delivered on a modern, air-conditioned coach. We regret that this short delay affected your impression, but we also want to highlight the advantages of booking the Caves tour with Nofrills Excursions, especially compared with going independently: ✅ What you get with Nofrills Excursions Skip-the-line entry — no waiting in the long public queues at the caves. A guide on the bus providing history, tips, and clear instructions before entering (guiding inside the caves is not permitted). Guaranteed entry time — the caves frequently sell out. Comfortable reserved seating for the full journey. Fully organised logistics, no stress, no searching for tickets or connections. Direct transport from Palma to the caves without changing buses. ❌ What happens if you “go on your own” The public bus to Porto Cristo often fills up completely, especially because it is free for residents. This means: You may not get a seat and could be standing for 75 minutes. You might not get on the bus at all, as it leaves people behind when full. You then need a second bus or walk/taxi from Porto Cristo to the caves. Cave tickets are not guaranteed — many visitors arrive and find the day sold out. Total travel time often becomes longer and far more stressful than the organised excursion. At Nofrills Excursions, with over 20 years of experience in Mallorca, we focus on making the day smooth, comfortable and well organised from start to finish — so our guests can simply enjoy the wonder of the caves. We appreciate your comments and hope that, with this information, future travellers can clearly see the value and reliability of booking directly with us. — The Nofrills Excursions Team 🌴✨
