Itinerary

Your tour begins at Camino Escollera, Palma

Meet your licensed guide at Camino Escollera and board the coach. After a quick briefing, board an air-conditioned coach and head east across Mallorca toward Porto Cristo’s limestone coastline.

Ride the coach to Porto Cristo

Relax on the drive past almond groves and low hills. Your guide shares quick context on Mallorca’s landscape and how these fantastical cave systems formed.

Enter the Cuevas dels Hams

Follow a self-guided route through chambers known for fishhook-shaped formations and blue pools. Keep an eye out for stalactites, mineral “curtains,” and the lighting that reveals fine textures.

Visit the Majorica pearl factory

Between cave visits, stop at a Majorcan pearl factory and learn how Mallorca’s signature man-made pearls are produced and finished. Browse the boutique at your own pace, then regroup for the next stop.

Walk the Cuevas del Drach route

Descend into the Drach Caves for towering stalagmites, mirrored pools, and vast caverns. The air cools as you approach Lake Martel, the showpiece of the visit. The caves are considered by some to be the 8th wonder of the world.

Listen to classical music by Lake Martel

After the walking tour, settle in beside Lake Martel for a live classical music concert set in the cave’s natural amphitheater. The acoustics in this space are unlike any other in the world. You then have the option to take an included, short boat ride across the lake.

Your tour ends at Camino Escollera, Palma

Return by air-conditioned coach to Camino Escollera in Palma after a full day of unwordly sightseeing. Arrive with time to grab dinner in the city or head back to your hotel.
