Halve dagtocht naar de Drachgrotten
Beschrijving
Ontdek een ondergrondse wereld van magie en mysterie in de indrukwekkende Drach Caves, een unieke ervaring op Mallorca! Deze vier grotten, gelegen in Porto Cristo, werden gevormd tussen 11 en 5,3 miljoen jaar geleden. Hun ondergrondse landschap, gevormd door de filtratie van regenwater door kalksteenrotsen, lijkt op iets uit een sciencefictionfilm. De Drachgrotten zijn een dramatisch kalkstenen grottenstelsel aan de rand van Porto Cristo, met uitgehouwen loopbruggen, indrukwekkende stalactieten en stalagmieten, en een van de grootste ondergrondse meren ter wereld, het Martelmeer, waar u kunt genieten van een boottocht en een concert met klassieke muziek. Op de terugweg krijgt u ook de kans om een parelfabriek op Mallorca te bezoeken, met meer dan honderd jaar ervaring in het maken van wereldberoemde biologische kunstparels.

De Drachgrotten zijn de bekendste grotten van Mallorca en werden genoemd in de roman Clovis Dardentor van Jules Verne. Hun indrukwekkende spektakel van licht en kleur, samen met stalagmieten, stalactieten en natuurlijke watervoerende lagen, maken het bezoek tot een onvergetelijke ervaring. Mis het live concert in de grotten niet!

The trip was not as good as we expected in fact out of 10 I would give it a two only. Things to improve the experience. 1, the classical music experience is far too short. In fact it was a rip off time wise. 2, the classical music experience is lost on most people because the elderly could not hear it. Unfortunately the tour operator insists on the natural sound effect. However if it was amplified the continued interruption of the tour guides shouting over the music “no pictures please” would not have been so bad. Why not amplify the music and shine torches on the offending photographers. 3, the illumination is dull and dated. It should be like all other modern similar experiences- multicoloured lights with sequenced dynamic illumination. That would emphasise the visual experience.
Your time in the caves is approx. 45 minuets. They call it half day because the count it from the time they pick you up which in my case was 1 hour drive towards Palma when our hotel was only 15 minuets drive from the caves and they also take you to the pearl factory to try and get you to spend money there. Due to the pickup location, I said we will just drive and meet at the caves, I was first told to be there for 9.30, then when there it shifted to 10.30, then 11.45. When the guide arrived, he said we should just go in the caves by ourselves which we did. 30 mins queue to get in, walk for 5 -10 mins then told to be seated while a rowing boat came past playing classical music which if that is your thing then you will enjoy it, but you are not allowed to take photos or videos of the performance which made it pointless. Then another 30 minuets queue to get on a rowing boat for a short 3-minute row about 300m where you then walk out. We were charged $255 AUD for 3 adults and 2 children, the ticket price at the caves is 19.50euro adults and 12.50euro children. There is public transport that goes to the caves or if you have a hire car drive yourself. The caves themselves are amazing and well worth the 19.50euro entry fee.
A massive dripstone cave with countless stalagmites and stalactites. At the end, there is a beautiful classical concert and the opportunity for a short boat trip across a freshwater lake. Definitely book online in advance. There is also a beautiful swimming bay 200m away. Parking spaces are plentiful.
This was a really great tour experience. Our guide Marga and driver Eduardo were very organized, helpful, and friendly so we knew exactly what the itinerary was and what would happen on the visit. The communication from the company about the pickup and drop off was great. The bus was comfortable with good A/C, and the drive was smooth. The cave itself was beautiful, and it ended with a really delightful mini-concert. Marga also spoke multiple languages facilitating a nice experience for everyone. Would highly recommend as the value for the experience was very good.
Great experience! The live classic music at the end in the caves was amazing, I wish i could take some pictures and videos to remember it for life.
A beautiful experience, a must-do!
Very nice experience at Dragon's caves. Best guide, Marga!
Great excursion with a top guide, Marga, who is very attentive.
The tour was very well organized. We received messages before pick-up to make sure we were on time and in right place. The has a/c which was life saver in Julys heat. Caves are unbelievable. Even if it is crowded in caves, everything worked smoothly. Waiting for the boat ride is recommended. The tour guide is polite and speaks many languages.
The transfer from the hotel is perfect. The journey to the cave is a bit long from Palma, but the guide provides us with several pieces of information about the island. Our ticket included the option to take a boat tour on the lake, but the number of visitors does not allow for it without fearing missing the return shuttle. The visit lasts a little over an hour, and that is sufficient to stop, observe, and listen to the classical concert.
