Discover an underground world of magic and mystery in the impressive Drach Caves, a unique experience in Mallorca! Located in Porto Cristo, these four caves were formed between 11 and 5.3 million years ago. Their subterranean landscape, shaped by the filtration of rainwater through limestone rocks, looks like something out of a science fiction film. The Drach Caves are a dramatic limestone cave system on the outskirts of Porto Cristo, featuring carved walkways, impressive stalactites and stalagmites, and one of the largest underground lakes in the world, the lake Martel, where you will be able to enjoy a boat ride and a classical music concert. On the way back, you will also have the chance to visit a pearl factory in Mallorca, with over a hundred years of experience in crafting world-renowned organic artificial pearls.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 7.
The Drach Caves are the best known caves in Mallorca and were mentioned in the novel Clovis Dardentor by Jules Verne. Their impressive spectacle of light and colour, together with stalagmites, stalactites and natural aquifers, make the visit an unforgettable experience. Do not miss the live concert within the caves!

The caves are spectacular, but the price is too expensive, taking into account the entrance fee to the caves. The visit to the Majorica factory is unnecessary. Likewise, there is no access control and at the entrance and in some sections of the cave large crowds of people form (more than 100), causing pushing, overcrowding, and a feeling of chaos...
Smooth Logistics: The booking process and pick-up communication were seamless. The air-conditioned coach was punctual and very comfortable. Excellent Guide: Our guide was friendly, professional, and did a great job sharing interesting history in multiple languages during the drive. The Cave Experience: The Drach Caves themselves are absolutely breathtaking, and the live classical music concert on the underground Martel Lake was a magical highlight. Areas for Improvement • Not Enough Time for the Boat: The biggest letdown was the scheduling. There was not enough time to go on the boat ride across the underground lake, which we were really looking forward to. The tour moves slowly due to the massive crowds, and the company definitely needs to allocate more time at the caves so guests can actually fit this experience in without feeling rushed. The Pearl Factory Stop: The tour stops at a pearl shop at the end, which felt like a forced commercial detour and wasn’t mentioned in the advertising. Cutting out this stop would easily free up the extra time needed for the lake boats.
Improve the organization for boarding the buses; the buses are not marked, this can be solved with a small flag with the bus number and where it is headed.
The bus service that picks you up at a point near the hotel is very convenient. You travel for 1 hour and arrive at the caves, which are wonderful. Final pearl, a mini classical concert. The illuminated little boats arrive where the musicians (piano and violin) are located. You feel a great emotion, truly a beautiful show. At the end, you take turns getting on other little boats that take you on a short ride, but it is really worth it. It was a beautiful experience!
Pleasant visit to the dragon cave in Porto Cristo. We can fully admire this site shaped by nature over millions of years. Booking with the agency was very easy. Very friendly guides.
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.
