This prevents unnecessary delays and affords visitors the opportunity to maximize their time within the caves.

The visit also includes a music concert at Lake Martel, one of the biggest underground lakes in Europe. The acustic is expcetional and you will be amazed by the surroundings and the music. After that, you can enjoy a 5-8 minutes boat trip in Lake Martel.
On this half day excursion you will also have the opportunity to visit the world famous Majorica Pearls and purchase gifts or simply treat yourself at special prices, as there is a shop from this iconic Mallorcan establishment right by the Caves of Drach. The visit to Majorica Pearls is completely optional. Then it will be time to get back on the coach to return to resort, giving you plenty of time to relax by the swimming pool or head to the beach to enjoy the rest of the day's sun rays.

Guide (Ester) and driver were very good and knowledgeable, we were taking directly to the queue to enter the caves and met at other side. Ester took time to make sure everyone understood as the group was multi-lingual, went over and above.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌊🎶🛶✨ We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the excursion and that both Ester and your driver helped make the day such a positive experience. A special thank you for your kind words about Ester. Guiding multilingual groups is never easy, but she always takes the time to ensure that every guest understands the information and knows exactly what to expect during the visit. We're delighted that you noticed her dedication and willingness to go the extra mile. 👏 We're also pleased that you appreciated how smoothly the visit was organised. Having the entrance tickets prepared, being escorted directly to the queue and being welcomed again at the exit allows our guests to relax and simply enjoy the spectacular Caves of Drach, the classical music concert and the boat ride on Lake Martel without any unnecessary worries. Thank you for choosing Nofrills Excursions, and we hope to welcome you back to Mallorca for another unforgettable experience soon! 💙🌴✨
This excursion is definitely worth doing. After the concert, you will be picked up by boat to get out of the cave. That took us a bit too long. Our guide was friendly and helpful.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung! 🌊🎶✨ Es freut uns, dass Ihnen der Ausflug zu den Cuevas del Drach insgesamt gefallen hat und Sie unseren Guide als freundlich und hilfsbereit erlebt haben. 😊 Bezüglich der Bootsfahrt nach dem Konzert: Da die Drachenhöhlen zu den beliebtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Mallorcas gehören, möchten viele Besucher die kurze Überfahrt über den Martelsee nutzen. Dadurch kann es je nach Besucheraufkommen gelegentlich zu Wartezeiten kommen. Die Alternative ist übrigens, den Weg zu Fuß zurückzulegen, sodass jeder Gast selbst entscheiden kann. Mit Nofrills Excursions, den Experten für Ausflüge auf Mallorca seit über 20 Jahren, freuen wir uns, dass Sie diese einzigartige Kombination aus Höhlenbesuch, Live-Konzert und Bootsfahrt erleben konnten. 🌴✨ Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und hoffentlich bis bald wieder auf Mallorca! — Ihr Nofrills Excursions Team
The caves were amazing. The multiple caverns are huge and go on and on. I felt a little rushed in the beginning. Feels like they try to quickly herd people through. But there is so much to see, if you miss something in the beginning, there is plenty more to see. The concert was great. It’s very touristy… but kind of a must do if you are here.
Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique commentaire 🌊🐬✨ Nous sommes ravis que votre excursion Exclusive Dolphin Watching ait été un moment aussi magique et mémorable. Voir les dauphins dans leur environnement naturel au lever du soleil est une expérience unique, et nous sommes très heureux que l’équipage ait contribué à rendre ce moment encore plus spécial 😊 Votre remarque sur les couvertures et l’attention de l’équipe nous fait particulièrement plaisir — chez Nofrills Excursions, avec plus de 20 ans d’expérience à Majorque, nous pensons que ce sont justement ces petits détails et l’attention portée aux clients qui font toute la différence. Merci infiniment pour votre recommandation et votre confiance. Nous serons ravis de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre excursion à Majorque ! 🌴✨ — L’équipe Nofrills Excursions
The Dragon's Cave is a place to be considered as a destination. The stalactites and stalagmites are incredibly beautiful and the water in the cave is so clear that you can see through to the underground. The small concert at the end was also pleasant for the ears. Unfortunately, the boat trip was extremely short, which also makes sense considering that there are always extremely many people in the cave at the same time and longer boat trips for everyone would last for hours. Our round trip was super organized and executed by our tour guide Katharina and our bus driver Miguel. Very nice and courteous people
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! 🌊✨ Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie die Coves del Drach als so beeindruckend erlebt haben — die Stalaktiten, das kristallklare Wasser und das Konzert machen diesen Ort wirklich einzigartig. 🎶 Schön zu hören, dass auch die Organisation der Hin- und Rückfahrt reibungslos war und Katharina sowie Miguel einen so positiven Eindruck hinterlassen haben — das geben wir sehr gerne weiter! 👏 Zur Bootsfahrt: Sie haben es perfekt beschrieben — sie ist bewusst kurz gehalten, da viele Besucher gleichzeitig in der Höhle sind. So kann jeder die Möglichkeit bekommen, dieses besondere Erlebnis zu genießen. Mit Nofrills Excursions, den Experten für Ausflüge auf Mallorca seit über 20 Jahren, bieten wir eine stressfreie und gut organisierte Möglichkeit, eines der Highlights der Insel zu entdecken. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei einem unserer Ausflüge begrüßen zu dürfen! 🌴✨ — Ihr Nofrills Excursions Team
If you taking this trip from the Mallorca cruise terminal it’s a 15 min ride to location meet then a 45 min bus ride to caves Caves where wonderful could of done without the concert but it was an expierence Taxi ride is 20 euros there and 20 euros back so an xtra 40 on top of tickets and bus ride it’s a long walk if you attempt to walk it to meeting point it’s by the cathedral across the street all the way at the end better off a taxi ride There is nothing around the caves no shopping except your usual gift shop
Hi there 🌊🎶⛵ Thank you for your feedback on the Caves Drach Boat Trip from Alcudia with Return Bus and Tickets. We’re glad you enjoyed the caves themselves and found the concert an interesting experience. However, we must clarify an important point: the Caves of Drach are located over 60 km from Palma, so it is not possible to reach them in 15 minutes. The journey by bus normally takes about an hour, which is entirely reasonable given the distance. The meeting point by Palma Cathedral is central and easy to reach — many guests prefer a short taxi ride rather than walking from the cruise terminal. Once at the caves, it’s true that the focus is on the natural wonder itself, with only a small gift shop and café available on site. That’s why our service is designed to provide skip-the-line entry, air-conditioned transport, and guidance so guests can enjoy this world-famous attraction stress-free. At Nofrills Excursions, with more than 20 years of experience in Mallorca, we take pride in offering organised, reliable tours. — The Nofrills Excursions Team
It was just nice, you definitely have to have done it. And the classical music was fantastic. We all had fun.
Hallo 568nineg 🎶⛵🌞 Vielen Dank für Ihre schöne Rückmeldung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen der Caves Drach Boat Trip from Alcudia with Return Bus and Tickets so gut gefallen hat. Die klassische Musikeinlage im Inneren der Höhle ist wirklich ein magischer Moment, und wir sind froh, dass Sie und Ihre Begleitung den Ausflug so genossen haben. Mit Nofrills Excursions, den Experten für Ausflüge auf Mallorca seit über 20 Jahren, können Sie die Coves del Drach stressfrei und bestens organisiert erleben – inklusive Skip-the-Line Eintritt, bequemer Busfahrt und fachkundiger Begleitung. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei einer unserer Touren begrüßen zu dürfen! 🌴✨ — Das Team von Nofrills Excursions
Service was good for the tour, but the actual caves were underwhelming and children were bored. Maybe if you are into caves you may enjoy it.
Thank you for your feedback, Patricia_O. We're glad to hear that you found the service during the tour to be good. The Caves of Drach are one of Mallorca's most visited natural attractions, and many of our guests—especially families with children—find the experience fascinating, from the unique formations to the underground concert and boat ride. That said, we completely understand that interests can vary, and we appreciate you sharing your honest opinion. Hopefully, we can welcome you on another excursion that’s a better match for your family’s preferences in the future!
A gorgeous experience seeing the caves and a great day out and one of a kind, would recommend for couples and those who will fully appreciate the orchestra too. Once you arrive you're pretty much free to do what you want which is around 3 hours, more than enough time. Would be a struggle for anyone who can't climb stairs well though. The only downside is that if you're picked up first, the bus is about 90 minutes.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! We're delighted you enjoyed the experience at the Caves of Drach — they truly are a natural wonder, and the underground concert is something very special. Your note about the stairs is helpful advice for future travelers; we always try to make guests aware that the caves do involve some walking and steps. As for the bus ride, you're right — if you're picked up early in Alcudia or Can Picafort, it can take around 90 minutes. However, we always try to optimize the route with fewer pick-ups than other companies, and our comfortable air-conditioned coaches help make the journey smoother.
Worth seeing cave. But you have to be aware from the outset that it will be a mass event. The employees push you through the aisles with their flashlights.
Vielen Dank für Ihre ehrliche Rückmeldung. 😊 Es freut uns, dass Sie die Höhlen als sehenswert empfunden haben – sie sind zweifellos eines der beeindruckendsten Naturwunder Mallorcas. Sie haben recht: Die Coves del Drach sind sehr beliebt, und besonders in der Hochsaison kann es voll werden. Leider liegt die Besucherorganisation innerhalb der Höhlen nicht in unserer Hand, da diese vom Höhlenbetreiber direkt verwaltet wird. Die Mitarbeiter vor Ort achten darauf, dass der Ablauf eingehalten wird – was manchmal etwas straff wirken kann, gerade wenn viele Gruppen hintereinander folgen. Wir geben auf der Fahrt dorthin alle wichtigen Informationen, damit unsere Gäste wissen, was sie erwartet, und wir sind stets bemüht, eine entspannte An- und Abreise sowie ausreichend Zeit für den Besuch zu ermöglichen.
SCAM! 54€ when the entrance ticket for the public is 18€50... the extra thing? A round trip by bus at 35€50, it's a bit expensive anyway.... Regarding the boat, it is a small crossing of 3 min, free for everyone. Otherwise the caves are nice, I recommend you to go by your own means and take a ticket online on the official website that does not make money on your back.
Cher voyageur, Merci pour votre commentaire, même si nous devons dire que nous sommes surpris par sa sévérité et son manque de précision. En tant qu’ingénieur naval — comme vous l’indiquez dans votre profil — nous nous serions attendus à ce que vous lisiez plus attentivement la description complète de l’excursion avant de réserver. Tout y est clairement indiqué : ce que comprend le prix, les services inclus, les options disponibles, et l’organisation du temps. Notre excursion à 54 € inclut bien plus que le simple ticket d’entrée : Un service de transport aller-retour organisé depuis le nord de l’île (non depuis Palma comme dans d’autres offres), ce qui représente plus de 120 km en tout, sans stress pour vous ni besoin de voiture de location, stationnement ou essence. Un accompagnateur expérimenté qui vous explique tout sur les grottes et les lieux traversés, et qui s’occupe de vos billets pendant que vous restez tranquillement dans le bus. Un accès garanti et sans file d’attente — très utile en haute saison où les billets sont souvent épuisés. Un arrêt avec temps libre au magasin officiel de Majorica Pearls, sans obligation d’achat, mais apprécié par de nombreux visiteurs. Comparer le tarif brut d’un billet individuel avec une excursion complète et encadrée est donc non seulement trompeur mais injuste. Votre avis donne l’impression que notre service est une arnaque, alors qu’il s’agit d’une prestation bien notée, recommandée dans de nombreux guides et blogs de voyage — et par des milliers de clients satisfaits chaque année. Si vous préférez tout organiser par vous-même, c’est votre choix, bien sûr. Mais cela ne signifie pas que notre formule — complète, confortable et sans souci — n’en vaut pas la peine. Nous vous souhaitons de meilleures expériences pour la suite de votre séjour.
