Tour Options
Itinerary
On our way to the Caves, we’ll pass through the charming town of Montuïri, known for its iconic windmills. Historically tied to cereal and flour production, Montuïri reflects the rich cultural heritage and rural traditions of inland Mallorca.
We now arrive at the famous "Cuevas del Drach", or "Dragon Caves", an underground wonder millions of years in the making. These caves have fascinated historians, geographers, and travelers for generations. Thanks to your pre-booked ticket, you’ll skip the entry line and head straight into the experience. You’ll have around 1 hour and 30 minutes inside the caves to explore at your own pace and fully enjoy this natural marvel.
Inside the caves, you'll follow a self-guided route that leads you through spectacular rock formations, all beautifully lit to highlight their natural beauty. The tour culminates at Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world. Here, you’ll enjoy a short live classical music concert in a truly magical setting. Afterwards, you’ll have the option to take a brief but memorable wooden boat ride across the lake — a unique and scenic moment included in your tour. You’ll also witness a subtle light show that simulates a sunrise, adding to the magic of the visit.
To complete your excursion, you’ll also have time to visit the Majorica Pearls showroom, located conveniently next to the caves. Browse or shop at special prices for high-quality, locally made pearl jewelry — perfect as a gift or souvenir from Mallorca.

Excellent lighting showcasing the natural phenomena in the caves. The concert at the end us a real bonus.

The tour lasts just over one hour and there are are many steps. Employees with torches light your way. The stalactites and stalagmites are impressive though lit only with yellow light. After the downhill section you are seated in a large auditorium in front of the lakes where a boat carrying a string quartet and pianist play as they are rowed around. The concert lasts about 10 minutes. You can then choose to return via the bridge or across the lake. There was some confusion as to who went where but the boats hold about 16 people so the queue moved quickly though the ride itself was only a couple of minutes. It was beautiful and worth doing. No photos are allowed during the concert but are allowed at all other times so beware of people stopping suddenly or posing for selfies. Compared to other caves (eg Gibraltar) the lighting was unimpressive but the concert and boat made up for it. I expected a larger and more impressive series of lakes so maybe expectations and reality didn’t match!

Very, very satisfied. Would definitely recommend further.
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! 🌊🎶😊 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie mit dem Ausflug zu den Drachenhöhlen rundum zufrieden waren und ihn weiterempfehlen würden. Die Cuevas del Drach gehören zu den beeindruckendsten Sehenswürdigkeiten Mallorcas, und wir freuen uns, dass Sie die Kombination aus den Höhlen, dem klassischen Konzert auf dem Martelsee und der Bootsfahrt genießen konnten. ✨🚣♂️🎻 Vielen Dank auch für Ihr Vertrauen in Nofrills Excursions. Solche Kommentare motivieren unser gesamtes Team jeden Tag aufs Neue. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder auf einer unserer Mallorca-Ausflüge begrüßen zu dürfen! ☀️🌴 — Das Nofrills Excursions Team 💙
We left 35 minutes late... Exceptional experience. I had never attended a music show in a cave before. It was magical. I would have liked to film or take photos during the show, but that is not allowed. Since there were about 500 people, I was unable to take the boat tour at the end, and I would have really liked to do that. Otherwise, we would have arrived late to the bus for the return trip.
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire ! 🌊🎶✨ Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez trouvé l'expérience exceptionnelle et que le concert dans les grottes vous ait autant impressionnée. Pour beaucoup de visiteurs, entendre de la musique classique sur le lac Martel, au cœur des Cuevas del Drach, est un moment véritablement magique et inoubliable. 😊 Concernant le retard au départ, nous nous excusons pour ce désagrément. Certains jours, des circonstances opérationnelles ou de circulation peuvent entraîner un léger décalage de l'horaire prévu. Pour la promenade en barque, nous comprenons votre déception. Les grottes accueillent jusqu'à 500 visiteurs par session et les embarcations ont une capacité limitée. Lorsque les files d'attente sont importantes, certains visiteurs préfèrent poursuivre à pied afin de respecter l'horaire de retour du groupe. Heureusement, la promenade à pied suit le même itinéraire et permet également d'admirer le lac de très près. 🚣♀️✨ Merci encore d'avoir voyagé avec Nofrills Excursions. Nous sommes heureux que, malgré ce petit regret, vous gardiez un si beau souvenir de cette visite unique à Majorque. — L'équipe Nofrills Excursions 💙🌴
Excellent guide but it was a bit monotonous having to listen to everything in 4 different languages. I would have liked to learn more about the caves and Spain, but basically 75% of what the guide said we could not understand. Bus was very clean and the AC worked well.
Thank you for your feedback, Kelly. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the guide, the comfort of the coach and the air conditioning. 😊 Regarding the languages, the excursion is designed for international visitors and, depending on the nationalities on board, the guide may provide information in several languages so that everyone can understand the essential details of the day. We appreciate that this can sometimes mean waiting a little longer for information in your own language. As for learning more about the caves and Mallorca, our guides normally explain the history of the caves, the visit itinerary, practical tips and interesting facts about the island during the journey. However, as the Caves of Drach themselves are managed by the venue and visited independently inside, guided commentary is not permitted within the caves. Thank you again for travelling with Nofrills Excursions. We're pleased that overall you enjoyed the experience and hope to welcome you back to Mallorca soon. 🌴🎶🛶 — The Nofrills Excursions Team 💙

Tanto nuestra guía como nuestro conductor trabajan cada día para que los clientes disfruten de una excursión cómoda, bien organizada y sin preocupaciones, por lo que estarán encantados de leer su comentario. 👏🚌 En Nofrills Excursions, con más de 20 años de experiencia en Mallorca, nos esforzamos para que cada visita sea una experiencia memorable desde la recogida hasta el regreso. ¡Muchas gracias por recomendarnos y esperamos volver a recibirles muy pronto en Mallorca! ☀️🌴✨ — El equipo de Nofrills Excursions 💙
An unbelievable natural gem, surreal cave and very well managed , bus tour was smooth and well organized. Definitely worth it. After the tour we walked the city area around the cathedral, the restaurant and cafe options were amazing.

Beautiful cave but the staff was not pleasant; there was no time to admire because you always had to rush, too many people to enjoy the boat ride, an activity to do by yourself but not on an excursion, as you go around the hotels to pick up people!!!!!!!!!! But they do not tell you this when booking at the hotels!!!!!!
Cher client, Merci pour votre avis. Cependant, nous pensons que vous avez très probablement voyagé avec un autre opérateur, car ce que vous décrivez ne correspond pas à la manière dont nous organisons nos excursions. Chez Nofrills Excursions, l'excursion ne consiste pas simplement à transporter les clients jusqu'aux grottes. Nos excursions comprennent un guide professionnel qui accompagne le groupe, explique l'histoire de Majorque, les lieux traversés, le fonctionnement de la visite, donne des conseils utiles et s'assure que tout est organisé pour les visiteurs. De plus, les billets sont préparés à l'avance par le guide, ce qui évite aux clients les files d'attente et les soucis d'organisation. À l'arrivée, le guide accompagne les visiteurs jusqu'à l'entrée et reste disponible avant et après la visite. Concernant les arrêts dans les hôtels, il est tout à fait normal qu'une excursion avec prise en charge collecte les clients dans différentes zones avant de commencer l'itinéraire principal. C'est le fonctionnement habituel des excursions organisées dans toutes les destinations touristiques. Pour ce qui est des grottes elles-mêmes, les Cuevas del Drach figurent parmi les attractions les plus visitées de Majorque. Elles accueillent naturellement un grand nombre de visiteurs chaque jour. Cela n'enlève rien à la beauté exceptionnelle des grottes, du lac Martel, du concert de musique classique et de la promenade en barque qui font leur renommée internationale. 🌊🎶✨ Nous sommes désolés que l'expérience n'ait pas répondu à vos attentes, mais la description de votre journée ne correspond pas à la qualité de service habituellement offerte par notre équipe. — L'équipe Nofrills Excursions 🌴
