Mallorca: Caves of Drach & Porto Cristo Half-Day Trip by Bus
This half-day tour combines two of Mallorca's most popular attractions in one convenient trip. You'll explore the spectacular underground world of the Caves of Drach and enjoy free time in the charming seaside town of Porto Cristo. The tour includes preferential access to the caves, avoiding lengthy queues during peak season.
The Caves of Drach stretch 1,200 metres underground and descend 25 metres below ground level. Inside, you'll walk through chambers filled with impressive stalactites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years. The highlight is Lake Martel, one of Europe's largest underground lakes, where the crystal-clear turquoise waters create striking reflections of the illuminated cave formations.
Your tour also includes free time in Porto Cristo, a picturesque fishing port near Manacor. You can stroll around the marina, explore the town centre, or relax at a waterfront café whilst taking in views of the Mediterranean. There's also an optional visit to a Mallorcan pearl factory where you can learn about the island's famous cultured pearl industry.

Good to Know
The tour operates with air-conditioned panoramic buses providing comfortable transport and scenic views during your journey. You should wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a light jacket, as temperatures inside the caves remain cool year-round regardless of outside weather.
The caves are not fully accessible for wheelchair users due to uneven surfaces and steps throughout the underground pathways. Free time is allocated in Porto Cristo, though the exact duration varies depending on the day's schedule. The pearl factory visit is optional and subject to timing and availability.
