The Hams Caves are over 10 million years old, but people has only been able to enjoy their beauty since they were discovered back 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 managed to produce electricity to illuminate the cave even before electric power 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.
In the Blue cave, with its spectacular new blue lighting using led technology, you can enjoy the educational documentary “Discovering the past” about the history of Majorca, its first inhabitants, the formation of the Hams caves and their discovery.

1. The driver that had to pick me and my friends up did not understand English. So it was difficult to communicate. And understand on what bus we had to go.
2. The women that was giving the tour was unfriendly, rude it was difficult to understand what she was saying.
3 . They took us to the pearl factory which was just a shop , tried to convince everyone to buy something from that shop. For the money that we paid i was expecting a better experience from the tour

Overall, the tour was a bit basic. the first transfer coach was nice and 'luxury' as stated on the itinerary. But then the second transfer bus was too crowded and basic. The views were amazing at HAMS however, the tour was advised as 45 minutes when it was 10 minutes.
