Top Things to do in Majorca
What to do and see in Majorca, Balearic Islands: The Best Caverns & Caves
The dreamy island that provided inspiration to Chopin and Miró now has a reputation as a spring break beach destination. Don't worry, though, if you're vacationing over elementary school spring break-- there's plenty for the younger crowd. Marineland's dolphin and sea lion shows and children's beach attract families. And if you have a Thomas-obsessed toddler, the antique train that travels between Palma and Soller is a must-see.

The Caves of Campanet are situated in the north of the island in an unspoilt valley which captures the unique character and charm of rural Majorca. They cover an area of 3.200 Square metres. You could go through beautifully decorated chambers and passageways. Deep in the caves you will see magnificient stalagmites and stalactites sculpted by water throughout millions of years. Their variety, delicacy and color are outstanding. Of scientific interest are the signs of the existence of Henrotius Jordai, an indigenous, carnivorous, blind beetle and the remains of Myotragus Balearicus, an indigenous mammal believed extinct about 4000 years ago. From the bar and spacious terrace you can enjoy the sun and the beauty of the San Miguel valley.

I have never seen something like this. Entrance is without any guide, just on your own, you should only follow the direction. To be honest, without my husband I would get lost for sure. :D Nevertheless it was very interesting, it´s amazing what nature can create. It took about half an hour to walk through the whole area of caves. After that we got there a good cofee and continued in our trip around the island.

We had already visited Caves of Drach when we saw signs for this place. How different could two places be. The guide was amazing seamlessly flitting between Spanish, German and English- full of fun facts he made sure we all enjoyed his tour. The tour contains 425 steps [according to the guide] and a hike of close to 1.5 km. Amazing geology, and a photo snap at every turn. Not appropriate for those who are physically challenged. Recommended and would revisit.

World famous, are visited since 1898; inside is lake Martel, considered one of the largest underground lakes in the world, where live classical music concerts are performed every day. You can cross the lake on a boat at the end of the concert. BEWARE, there are two caves to visit in Porto Cristo, the largest and more frequently visited are the Caves of Drach. We advise to get tickets online from our web page, cheaper than at the ticket office and you don´t need to print it. Check carefully that you are at the real Cuevas del Drach, not at another caves nearby with confusing road panels, simulating to be Cuevas del Drach. On high season we advise strongly to book online from Cuevas del Drach official web site, with an small discount and ensuring your entry time.

Another culmination you shouldn’t miss when visiting the Islands of Mallorca: Situated on the Eastern coast, at the entrance of Porto Cristo, nobody expects the unique phenomenon and the magnificent charm on its own! By land or by sea (we made it by bus in the middle of the best month May! this year) easily gained the Caves of Drach, one penetrates down to unbelievable depths where nature and water did work and sculpt during millions and millions of years stalactites and stalagmites of breathtaking forms and outstanding beauty in light knitting. In jewellery-like forms and in an orgy of colours in an interlaced design to perfection, running along many galleries and pathways, astonishing the manifold reflections and gleams around, you attain the underground lake of Martel and experience the apogee with the classical concert life on board a boot. By this, on the waves of the deeply impressing classical music and the tenderly rocking boot one exalts from the depth to the heaven and will never forget this moments in a dreamed world.

They are the smallest caves of Majorca that you can visit, perhaps the most beautiful caves. It's proximity to Palma and communication facilities make readily available to visitors. The visit is more familiar character, ideal to go with children. Located in the neighborhood of Genova, at 6 km. from downtown, were discovered in 1906. Tour is performed in small groups. What's more, you will be able to taste the mediterranean cuisine of the restaurant Ses Coves de Gènova, specialized in grilled meat and fish.

it's gorgeous! I actually went on a holiday when it was closed (completely unaware), but lucky for me the tour guide was there and kind enough to let me enter and explore. On top of that the chef happened to stop by and cooked us amazing pasta. The three of us had a lovely meal together. It was one of my most favorite experiences visiting Mallorca!

The Hams Caves are 10 million years old, but mankind has only been able to enjoy their beauty since they were discovered in 1905 by the speleologist Pedro Caldentey Santandreu (1886-1950) while he was digging for onyx, a precious stone abundant in the region. In 1910 he produced electricity to illuminate the cave before electric lighting had reached the village of Porto Cristo. Using a water mill, a dynamo and a water tank, he generated 16 hours of electric current to enable visits to the caves. Come and discover the rest of the history of the Hams caves
