The trip was advertised by the agents as an interesting trip which I cannot say it wasnt. However on arrival your were stood waiting in a big que, the coach trip was lenghly as picking other passengers up.on the way. The representative spoke so many langues you had passed most things by the time she got to English, and this went on form 90% of the journey ? I think most people zoned out in the end.
On arrival yu were told there were so many steps, which in purchasing no one mentioned steps steep declines or inclines so for thise with disabilities this trip is a definate challenge and I would say not one to be taken, i suffer osteoarthritis and it challenged me immensley so be advised before booking for this.
The caves themselves were a wonder of the world but felt once in you ushered through the walks ways way too quickly and the members of staff not very welcoming or helpful.
Once you reach the autiorium dont expect to get on a boat dissapointing, you are ushersd up more steps to seating for the classical concert performed by an orchestra in one boat with lights which was also dissapointing as lasted 5-10 minutes.
As soon as that is finished people rush forward to get on the boats which there are only three and the rest of you walk the bridge up a steep climb to exit.
For me a totally dissapointing experience. So please ask when booking of you have physical needs how this will challenge you !
Ticked off thr bucket list but a dissapointing one!

You have to get the tickets online, and that makes access easier and faster. There is food in the surrounding area, if you don't want to bring your sandwich.
They are very beautiful caves, different from many.

A visit to this cave is definitely worthwhile. There is a guided tour almost every hour. You should avoid the weekend, as many locals visit this attraction then. In many places in the long cave you can see breathtaking structures formed by the stalactites. At the end you sit on a grandstand and watch a boat with musicians passing by playing four classical pieces. The acoustics are a really great experience. If you have patience, you will be taken to the exit by boat. Another positive thing to mention is that the prices at the attached snack bar are still moderate. Definitely a recommended trip.

Was a well organised trip and the caves were spectacular. I would recommend everyone to see this wonderful natural wonder.

We were picked up when we were supposed to be. The guide was very knowledgeable and gave us an interesting talk as we went along about the history of Mallorca. He also kept us informed of what was happening and when to be back. We wouldn’t have chosen to go to the Pearl factory but the history was enlightening. We thought the Ham caves were lovely, the stalactites etc were well illuminated & the music and pictures impressive. The Drach caves were also very good and bigger and the live concert very good but we preferred the Ham caves. We also really liked Porto Cristi, very pretty and loads of places to eat.

Too much time one the bus. We could have easily drove to the caves. And the could not find our bus after the cave so after waiting 1/2 an hour we took a taxi.

Stood in line for about 4 hours total, tour part was rushed and way too crowded. Experienced many many rude people and minimal information throughout. Not worth the whole day, bus transfers were good. Boat ride was about 3 mins total and a 30 min que. music was great! But you are in a crowd seated of 100s! Only go if you don’t mind large crowds and queuing :) -we went in summer so I understand this is busy period! Caves are miraculous!
