Your excursion starts in Palma at 9:30, but we offer a exclusive courtesy return bus from your resort to take you to the meeting point where the trip starts, and then back to your resort. This is free and optional. Then, you don’t need to pay extra for a taxi or to get on different public buses to reach the place where the tour starts.
The tour of the Caves of Drach includes a total of approximately 320 steps, of which 119 are uphill. The paths are well maintained and safe, with lighting and handrails in key areas. This experience is suitable for most visitors, including seniors. There’s no need to rush — the entire visit through the caves lasts around 2 hours, giving plenty of time to walk comfortably at your own pace. If you or someone in your group has reduced mobility or difficulty with stairs, we recommend considering this before booking, as wheelchair access is not available inside the caves. For healthy adults and seniors in average condition, walking slowly and taking short breaks makes the route fully manageable.
There are steps inside the caves

What To Expect
Montuiri
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.
Cuevas del Drach
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.

Not a typical visit to some caves

5.00The caves have been really well lit to make the walking easy and the rock formations more interesting. The inclusion of a short concert on the underground lake is a clever idea and the acoustics are very good.
Drach Caves must see in Mallorca

5.00Very good excursion. It was quite crowded going through the caves for first little bit. Don’t let that discourage you. There is plenty of time to stop. Concert at Lake Martel is wonderful. Took the boat ride and though it is short, I recommend doing it. We waited no more than 15 minutes in line
An absolute must !!!

5.00We were there in the rental car. However, we had to wait from 11.05 to 12.00 until the next guided tour. But it was worth it. It's a very nice experience
Do not book this tour if...

2.00Do not book this tour if you need it to be on time. We had to be back on board at 2:30 - tour was billed as 9:30 am start, 4 hrs, so back at 1:30. We were 30 mins late leaving, at lunch I asked guide if we should take cab back to port ($95 euros) because we HAD to be back on board at 2:30. We were told no problem. Left Caves 30 mins late, too. Long story short, we were the very last people on board. Total stress. Norwegian was calling us every couple minutes, figured we made it with about 5 mins to spare - 2:55 pm, ship cast off at 3. I gave 2 stars because Caves were beautiful (5 *) but need more reliable tour.

1.00We arrived at the indicated location, but it was incorrect. After calling support, we didn’t receive the necessary information or help for over an hour. When, after many calls, they finally messaged us with the correct location, it was already too late — they said the bus had left and no one would wait for us. We asked for a refund for our canceled trip, but the “wonderful” staff said they wouldn’t refund even the smallest part of the payment.
Brilliant tour, well led by Katarina.

5.00We booked this half day Caves tour online late afternoon the day before we went. Excellent communications from the team throughout. Pick up was on time and driver Fernando and tour lead Katarina were brilliant. Katarina pointed out many interesting sights and facts en route which was about 1 and a half hours from our hotel in Peurto Pollensa due to lots of pick ups. She gave us our tickets for the Caves and some tips on how to make the most of it. Caves were interesting. It did feel like a procession at times and you don’t get much chance to stop and stare, but it was fine. The orchestra on the boat was very good. We managed to get on a rowing boat quickly for our exit from that section. We then had about an hour free time so walked to Porto Cristo harbour for a pint and snack. Great trip, thanks all.
Very beautiful and rich experience

5.00I heard some people compaining about the program and have some doubts before going, but i'm very glad I've decided to go. It takes some time to reach the coves (I tootk the tour from Palma), but the bus was very comfortable and the meeting poing was a very easy place to get. Hint: ask your provider your bus number prior to the trip, it makes it easier to find the bus. They really gather a lot of people hourly to visit the caves. That's what allows them to get everyoe together for the music show. I found the coves very beatiful and the whole experience very rich. The pearl factory is near the caves and the tour I took didn't force us to go to the factory. After the visit you coul have some free time to lunch, rest or visit the factory if you wanted to. I surely would go again.
Spectacular Caves

5.00The caves are spectacular and the orchestra on the boats is special. We booked the half day so we could just relax whilst the tour guide did all the booking for us. On route we saw the Rafael Nadel Academy
Go by yourself

1.00We booked, no explanation. We were next door we did not pay attention because it was written deoaet Palma. We went to palmas by car to realize that the caves were closer to our hotel (error on my part). We paid 148 euros with guide and tour transport. Result we did not take the transport and the guide gives you screw place and manage therefore no explanation. Go by yourself is much cheaper €17 per person. Request for a refund of part of it understanding that we made a mistake refund refused I will never do it again with TripAdvisor
