Itinerary
On our way to the Caves, we’ll pass through the charming town of Montuïri, known for its iconic windmills. Historically tied to cereal and flour production, Montuïri reflects the rich cultural heritage and rural traditions of inland Mallorca.
We now arrive at the famous "Cuevas del Drach", or "Dragon Caves", an underground wonder millions of years in the making. These caves have fascinated historians, geographers, and travelers for generations. Thanks to your pre-booked ticket, you’ll skip the entry line and head straight into the experience. You’ll have around 1 hour and 30 minutes inside the caves to explore at your own pace and fully enjoy this natural marvel.
Inside the caves, you'll follow a self-guided route that leads you through spectacular rock formations, all beautifully lit to highlight their natural beauty. The tour culminates at Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world. Here, you’ll enjoy a short live classical music concert in a truly magical setting. Afterwards, you’ll have the option to take a brief but memorable wooden boat ride across the lake — a unique and scenic moment included in your tour. You’ll also witness a subtle light show that simulates a sunrise, adding to the magic of the visit.
To complete your excursion, you’ll also have time to visit the Majorica Pearls showroom, located conveniently next to the caves. Browse or shop at special prices for high-quality, locally made pearl jewelry — perfect as a gift or souvenir from Mallorca.

We booked a wonderful trip to the Cuevas Del Drach through nofrills excursions. We were collected a 5 min walk from our hotel which was very convenient. Although the journey was long it was well worth it!! The caves were stunning, so much to look at throughout. At the end of the tour you are seated for an amazing concert performed by an orchestra on boats. All in drakknes with just the boats lit up. It was absolutely breathtaking. You can then travel across the lake by boat (or on foot if you prefer) There is a lovely gift shop with lots souvenirs as well as places to eat and drink. Our tour guide Yvette from nofrills excursions was brilliant and very knowledge giving us information throughout the journey. She was well organised and really looked after everyone. Would highly recommend taking a trip here to see one of the amazing wonders of the world!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 🦇🎶✨ We're delighted that the Caves of Drach were worth the journey and that you enjoyed the spectacular formations, the magical concert on Lake Martel and the optional boat crossing. That moment with the cave in darkness and only the illuminated boats really is breathtaking! 🚣🎻 A special thank you for your lovely words about **Yvette**. We're thrilled that her knowledge, organisation and care helped make the journey so enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for highly recommending **Nofrills Excursions**. We hope to welcome you back to Mallorca for another unforgettable experience! 💙🌴
An interesting short trip to the Drach caves with a wonderful concert. The coach trip from Palma took around one hour, then one hour in the caves including concert and one hour to explore nearby Porto Cristo. Our guide Ester was excellent, very organised and informative. The air conditioned coach and lower temperature within the caves makes this a cool day out!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🦇🎶😊 We're delighted that you enjoyed your visit to the **Caves of Drach** and the magical concert inside Lake Martel. Combining the natural beauty of the caves with the unique underground music experience makes this one of Mallorca's most special excursions. A special thank you for your kind words about **Ester**. Her organisation, knowledge and attention to detail help ensure that guests can relax and enjoy every part of the day. We're also pleased that you appreciated the comfort of the air-conditioned coach and the cooler temperatures inside the caves – especially during Mallorca's warm summer months! ☀️ Thank you for choosing **Nofrills Excursions**. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience in Mallorca! 💙🌴
Caves are quite large with well defined paths. The music portion was phenomenal. The boat ride is very short, so I don't recommend standing in line for any length of time, it's maybe a 15-20 second ride, and drops you off along the walking path with everyone else.
Thank you for your detailed review! 🦇🎶😊 We're delighted that you enjoyed the impressive size and natural beauty of the **Caves of Drach**, as well as the magical classical music concert inside Lake Martel. The unique acoustics and underground setting make this one of Mallorca's most memorable experiences. Regarding the boat ride, you are right that it is a short experience. It is an optional final touch that allows visitors to cross part of the lake in a traditional wooden boat and enjoy a different perspective of the cave. As only a limited number of boats operate at a time, some guests may prefer to continue walking if there is a queue. Thank you for choosing **Nofrills Excursions**. We're very pleased that you enjoyed this unique natural wonder and hope to welcome you again in Mallorca! 💙🌴
Amazing experience. The concert could have been a little longer and the boat ride at the end lasted about a minute but don't let that put you off!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🦇🎶😊 We're delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience at the **Caves of Drach**. The combination of the impressive natural formations, the unique underground setting and the classical concert on Lake Martel is what makes this visit so special. We appreciate your comments about the concert and the boat ride. The concert is designed as a short but magical moment in the caves, and the optional boat crossing is a brief final touch that allows guests to experience the lake from a different perspective. We're very happy that these details did not take away from your overall experience. Thank you for choosing **Nofrills Excursions** and for recommending this incredible place in Mallorca! 💙🌴✨
We booked directly with NoFrills on their web site. I confirmed our exact pickup location with them two days prior to our tour, even sending them a Google map pin. We arrived 15 minutes before the designated pickup time (scheduled for 8:45, we were there at 8:30). We saw one of their buses go by, with the logo and the destination on a sign, in the opposite direction of our tour, but that bus did not stop anywhere near us. Finally, 25 minutes after our scheduled pickup time, I messaged the operator on WhatsApp and they said the bus had already stopped for us and left. That was absolutely not the case, as we closely examined every bus that stopped at our location. They offered us tickets for the next day, but that did not work for us, so to their credit, they agreed to give us a refund. But it was very disappointing to miss the tour. Sorry to leave a bad review, but the pickup experience is an essential part of the tour. There needs to be more care taken to make sure your customers get picked up as promised.
We are genuinely surprised by this review, particularly considering how we handled the situation. That morning, **two of our coaches stopped at the confirmed pick-up point**, and the coach operating your Caves of Drach excursion collected **8 other passengers from exactly that location**. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to understand how you could have been waiting at the correct point, carefully checking every coach, while the other passengers were collected normally. Under these circumstances, the standard procedure would have been to record the booking as a **no-show**, which normally carries no right to a refund. Instead, we chose to help. We first offered to move your booking **free of charge to the following day**. When you explained that this was not possible for you, we went even further and exceptionally agreed to provide a **full refund**, despite the coach having operated and stopped at the confirmed location. We did this as a gesture of goodwill because we understood how disappointing it was for you to miss the excursion. It is therefore particularly disappointing to receive a 1-star review accusing us of failing to collect you after we had already gone considerably beyond our obligations to resolve the situation in your favour. Sometimes being exceptionally flexible with a customer is clearly not appreciated. In this case, we believe the facts speak for themselves.
A MUST DO EXPERIENCE! This was my favorite part of our trip to Palma de Mallorca. It was so incredible and unique. It is very well organized and smooth. Our tour guide was so special and charismatic. The concert in the cave was so beautiful, it made me emotional. You must go visit the Caves of Drach and take a tour.
Thank you so much for this amazing review! 🦇🎶✨ We're thrilled that the **Caves of Drach were your favourite experience in Mallorca** and that you found the whole excursion smooth and well organised. It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed our charismatic guide, and especially that the classical concert on Lake Martel moved you emotionally. That magical combination of music, illuminated boats and the incredible underground setting is something truly unique. 💙 Thank you for calling it a **MUST-DO** and for recommending **Nofrills Excursions**. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Mallorca experience! 🌴😊
It's an interesting walk through amazing natural sculptures. Although they say to bring warm clothing down in there, for me that was nonsense. It was very hot during our stay here and while it was cooler in the caves it remained fairly humid so if you're someone like me who sweats a lot, I'd bring some kind of a towel personal fan or bandanna soaked in water .
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🦇😊 We're pleased that you enjoyed the spectacular natural formations inside the Caves of Drach. We would just like to clarify one point for future visitors: **we do not advise guests to bring warm clothing for the caves**. This recommendation may have come from another website or travel blog. In our information, we explain that the temperature inside the caves remains relatively stable throughout the year, at approximately **18–21°C**. During Mallorca's very hot summer months, the caves certainly feel cooler than outside, but humidity can make them feel warmer than some visitors expect. Your suggestion of bringing a small towel or personal fan may therefore be useful for guests particularly sensitive to humidity. Thank you for choosing **Nofrills Excursions**, and we're glad you enjoyed this incredible natural wonder! 🌴💙
Beware that No Frills is a chaotic pick up experience. Names are in a list, but some participants are loaded onto a bus while others are told to wait. A second bus didn't communicate with the first. 10 of us were denied boarding because there wasn't enough room after standing in the blazing sun for an hour. The operator apologized, but gave us no concrete assistance to resolve the problem except to contact the company (Trip Advisor) where we booked. I requested a full refund online, but more importantly our day's plan was ruined. When they call themselves "No Frills", they're not kidding.
Very pleasant and magnificent. We enjoyed the concert and the short boat ride. Our 3-year-old son enjoyed it too (it might scare some because when the concert starts everything is dark and the boats are illuminated, which is very beautiful). Plus, it's cool in there ;-)))
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique commentaire ! 🦇🎶🚣 Nous sommes ravis que toute la famille, y compris votre petit garçon de 3 ans, ait apprécié cette expérience. Le moment où les lumières s’éteignent et où les barques illuminées apparaissent sur le lac Martel pendant le concert est vraiment magique. ✨ Et vous avez raison : en plein été à Majorque, profiter de la fraîcheur naturelle des grottes est aussi un vrai plaisir ! 😊 Merci d’avoir choisi Nofrills Excursions. Nous espérons vous retrouver bientôt pour une nouvelle découverte en famille ! 💙🌴
