The Drach Caves are among the most visited in Europe and many consider them the 8th Wonder of the World. The Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world, is the scene of a classical music program. The inside temperature is very pleasant and constant throughout the year: 21 Celsius. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes during the visit.
Approximately 1 hour of travel inside the caves.
Entrance included in the tour price.

Such an amazing place…the caves, the largest underground lake in Europe….breathtaking, especially the music and the boat ride through the lake.

I’m writing this review purely on my experience only and I appreciate everyone’s will differ and have different expectations.
Firstly we went to a very sweet old school market, this was very pleasant and the surroundings are vintage and the residents are elderly, there is a lovely church which you can go in a take photos and a little coffee shop. The market there is the usual which are handbags, watches, soap, food etc.
We are then taken to the Pearl Shop, this was pretty bad, if you aren’t going to buy anything pearl related it’s pretty pointless, you get taken through an exhibition which is all videos, you don’t see anyone craft/make any necklaces or bracelets etc. You are given 30 mins to look around and grab something to eat, there is a coffee shop at the bottom and then it’s back on the bus.
You then go to another market in Porto Cristo, this is very standard, without being rude it’s no different to a car boot sale, this market again was pointless.
You then finally get to the caves where we joined a long queue and walked around a cave, that’s it. You then sit in a concert type seating and watch people come by in a boat and play music, you can then join a queue and wait to get on a boat or walk out, the boat ride is about 1 minute and the queue is minimum 20 mins.
All in all I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone unless you really want to see the caves, €50 each is pretty steep for what you get.

It's very nice, it's worth going but a lot of people looked like a herd of sheep!! You take a route, you see it, then you sit on some benches, a boat with classical musicians passes by.

An amazing day absolutely loved it. We had a luxury coach fully air con. The Gude Sebas was amazing. At the end of each cave you have a classical music experience. Just check with booking if you have problems with mobility.

Honestly the worst “tour” I’ve ever been on in my life, no exaggeration, quite possibly the most pointless experience, it’s over crammed in there so you can’t move around freely, the music is pointless and has nothing to do with a cave, £52 for an hour of nothing. Honestly don’t waste your money.

I truly enjoyed the classical music during our trip! Everything was too impressive ( the caves, the pearls shop, the Porto Cristo)
The bus had air conditioning, they were friendly
Everything was explained in English, Spanish, German and French! So all the tourists and the locals weren’t confused about the tour

We were picked up in a beautiful bus then waited for 45 minutes to be transferred to a dilapidated old bus, with a noisy system. The caves were interesting, Porto Cristo is nice.

We stopped at the pearl shop first, two ladies were showing there skills at pearl making, lots of lovely jewellery to buy. The caves were amazing, spent an hour in there. Then onto Porto Cristo where we had some lunch (not included in price) a picturesque village 😊
