Fantastic trip! There were no online tickets left, so we went there in person and easily bought tickets for 3 p.m. We arrived around noon, which gave us time to visit the pearl factory and explore the lovely town of Porto Cristo – a great place to grab some lunch before heading to the caves.

The caves themselves are absolutely stunning – amazing rock formations, beautiful lighting, and a magical atmosphere. At the end, there was a live classical music concert performed from a boat on the underground lake. Visitors can either take a short boat ride or walk out on foot.

The site is partly accessible for people with disabilities, though there are quite a few stairs. There’s also a large free car park right next to the entrance.

A truly wonderful experience – definitely worth a visit!

The Drach Caves are an unforgettable experience. The tour is quite long and absolutely worth it: the caves are stunning, well maintained, and beautifully lit to highlight every rock formation. It’s a bit chilly inside, so bring a sweatshirt to stay comfortable throughout the visit. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions.

The final part is pure magic: the musical concert in the dark, with illuminated boats gliding on the water and a four-piece orchestra playing instrumental music, is simply breathtaking. It’s worth every euro spent just for that moment alone. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that gives you goosebumps and stays with you forever.

This was a fantastic experience and I would certainly recommend booking tickets in advance. Having not researched this greatly, I underestimated the popularity and volume of people that visited each day.
Entrance to the caves is strictly managed by time slots to enable a certain number of people to walk through and enjoy the experience at a comfortable pace without too much of a crowd.
In addition there is a music show with seating specifically for the visitors assigned to that time slot.
We arrived at 12:00 and the next available slot was 14:00, hence we walked to the town, grabbed lunch and then returned. Those with more sensitive time constraints should book in advance.

The facilities are good.... clean toilets, gift shop, restaurant with ample seating, ice cream, a hot dog stand and plenty of parking for cars, coaches and camper vans.

Public transport is easy too. There is a bus stop about 100m away with a short walk up hill and over rough terrain.

If you don't fancy lunch and refreshments at the caves then there is a marina towards the town centre about 10 mins walk away. Its a big hill down and back up.

Overall, a great experience with breath taking views and magnificent natural stone formations, beautifully lit and well looked after. Reasonably priced and highly recommended!

Iconic and historical Caves
These are fabulous caves to visit and quite impressive considering their sheer size. We enjoyed going down to visit with my family and friends and were stunned by their beauty. What set this experience apart I believe is that, this is actually on an island, which I had never encountered before. Granted it is a big island but still very stunning and the lake was great to see with that crystal clear water. Drach Caves were amazing to visit, highly recommended!

Very good experience. Queue went quick when we entered. When we got inside the caves, the staff were very quick to move you and could only take pictures at certain points. After going through and got to the end, there is a musical concert. Pictures aren't allowed and staff make sure that you don't take any. To be honest, it's better, probably the whole point of enjoyment. After it was finished, two options of leaving, boat or walk. Most people picked the boat option and took about 20 minutes. Worth it I suppose.

Tha cave is just stunning, but too many people at the same time and all the time gides said: move, move, move, whitch a bit bothering and don't give you the chance to really enjoy. We spend just 1 hour inside, could have been more for this price. Vonderful classic music concert in the cave was a great surpruse. After all, great memories and impressions

I had a wonderful experience visiting the Caves. The guided tour was very well organized and it was amazing to walk through the stunning rock formations and underground passages. The highlight for me was definitely the classical concert on the underground lake – it was absolutely breathtaking and created such a magical atmosphere. There were quite a lot of people, which made some parts of the visit feel a bit crowded, but it was still worth it for such a unique experience. Overall, I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Majorca, as it’s both fascinating and unforgettable.

Incredible. I've visited cave formations across the world, and this one tops them all.
Amazing formations, well thought out experience and very enjoyable.
As you walk through th various caves, you simply don't known where to look next as you eyes are drawn to the various calcified structures. The caves also look very deep in places, so be careful if tempted to learn over the barriers.
Really enjoyed the concert and amazing to see the little rowing boats move visitors around in the lake.
