Spain · CAVES & GROTTOES TOURS
An underground lake with a concert on it, and a chamber the size of a cathedral, both a steady eighteen degrees while it is forty outside. These 15 are priced and timed, with a note on the stairs.
Walk 850 meters through 15 areas of Mallorca’s Caves of Hams, including the Round Cave, Blue Cave, and 12 galleries of the main cave. Expect rock formations, films, LED lighting, a botanical garden, and a recorded Mozart show with laser projections on the underground Sea of Venice. The visit lasts about one hour.
“As a family we enjoyed the caves and it was great value for money I would recommend a visit. Thank you”
Travel from southern Mallorca to the Caves of Drach, where stalactites, Lake Martel, a light show, and live classical music create the tour’s main moment. Add the Caves of Hams and Porto Cristo for a longer day. Guides such as Sebastian provide multilingual commentary, while the pearl factory stop is brief and commercial.
“Guide Sebastian was really great, driver too. Everything was clearly instructed and planned in a good way. We had no issues and enjoyed the excursion. We had caves of Drach and caves of Hams, visited Pearl Factory and had some nice time in Porto Cristo. Really worth the money, lots of interesting facts heard from the Guide about Mallorca. Recommended.”
This 9-hour trip pairs the vast Nerja Caves with Frigiliana’s flower-lined lanes and Nerja’s Balcón de Europa. An English- and Spanish-speaking guide, such as Tania, Antonio, or Carmen, handles the history, timing, and transport, while you get free time for shopping, lunch, and photos.
“The visit to the Caves were excellent. I did particularly like the VR show prior to visiting the Caves.”
Travel by air-conditioned bus from Valencia to Vall d’Uixó, then ride 850 meters along the Caves of San José underground river and walk another 200 meters through the dry gallery.

“Very interesting cave being able to see it by boat. The guide was very nice and helpful. The highlight was the light show in the cave. I higlhy recommed.”
Walk through Nerja’s huge chambers at your own pace with a phone-based audio guide in 18 languages. See towering stalactites, stalagmites, and the famous Cataclysm room, then visit the Museum of Nerja and a 360º virtual reality room showing human life 35,000 years ago. Allow at least an hour, and bring earphones.
“Very inexpensive, great way to see the caves. As long as you can download the “cave app” once you get there & bring your ear-buds so you can listen comfortably to the “guide”, it works great! I did see some rental / loaner equipment also, but may be more expensive. The caves were phenomenal, as was the virtual reality experience which is included. Very worthwhile!”
Visit the Caves of Hams in Porto Cristo, then walk among more than 100 life-size dinosaurs at Dinosaurland. See the Round, Blue, and Classic Caves, watch Genesis and an underground musical show, uncover fossils, and catch a live raptor performance. The self-guided combo takes about two hours.
“We have been there with a 3 year old and the guides there forced us to watch the documentary video no matter what to move with the group that's not easy with a 3 year old that's is a cave we could of been walk around but they didn't let us this was one thing I didn't like so we left. The Dinosaurs Park was good some of the dinos was moving and making noise good experience for a family.”

Enter the Caves of Genova in Palma’s residential Genova neighborhood and follow naturally formed corridors 36 meters underground. You’ll see domes, columns, pools, and tunnels at your own pace, then use the included informational video to understand the cave’s story. Allow about 25 minutes, wear shoes with good grip, and note the many stairs.
“The cave is very beautiful and I loved that you can do it on your own pase but I could use a bit of information before entering and some refreshments after coming out.”
