What you'll see and do
Cuevas del Drach
The Cuevas del Drach were already known during the Middle Ages and were explored in 1880 by M. F. Will and in 1896 by E.A. Martel, who discovered the cave containing the lake that bears his name. Between 1922 and 1935 the cave was conditioned to be visited by opening a new entrance, building paths, stairs, etc. and, above all, by installing electric lighting designed by the engineer, Mr. Buigas. The tour takes about an hour, the length being about 1,200 metres, and includes a classical music concert and a boat trip across Lake Martel. The temperature inside is about 21°C and the humidity 80%.

Mass tourism
The cave itself is very beautiful... But what mass tourism... Arrival at 3pm of our visit, surprise, there are no more than 300 to have the same schedule... And everyone is let go to visit the cave... The visit is 95% on foot, clumped on top of each other. You only borrow the boat for two minutes, the images are misleading. The classical music concert is simple, nothing exceptional Very disappointed.

Eye Catching
Absolutely fantastic, really loved the pearl shop, such an interesting attraction in a beautiful setting, all the jewellery was amazing, if a shade ostentatious for my taste.
Response from the operator: Hello Kingfisher C, We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Drach Caves tour and the visit to the pearl shop. It’s always a delight to explore such a beautiful setting, and we’re glad you found the jewelry intriguing, even if it was a little more ostentatious than your personal taste. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another memorable tour in the future! Kind regards, The Fun & Tickets Team

Book your own bus
Firstly, the caves were absolutely stunning and well worth it although it was overcrowded, it was brilliant. However, we should have just booked our own bus and gone there ourselves. The tour in itself was a bit pointless. Firstly, it was advertised that we would be collected from our hotel. We were contacted the morning of, stating they couldn’t collect from hotels in the city so go to a meeting point at 1:20. After waiting for over a half hour, we rang a staff member and he said he told us the wrong time, it was meant to be 2:20. He was very nice and apologetic. We then arrived at 2:20 to wait another 20 minutes for the bus to show up. We then waited approx 30 minutes to take off. We were supposed to go to a pearl factory which was basically a shop with lots of jewellery to buy, a coffee shop and a small exhibition about making the pearls that takes about 2 minutes to get through. Not the actual factory, which is located in Manacor. We then were driven to the caves which was great, however we ended up rushing in the end and had to skip a lot of it to get back to the bus. We wished we just booked a bus ourselves in order to have enough time. The tour guide spoke in English, French and Spanish however the microphone on the bus was ringing which was hard to listen to for 2 collective hours. She didn’t seem too enthusiastic to be there.
Response from the operator: Dear Sara, We apologize for the confusion at the meeting point. As stated in our program, we include a visit to a Pearl Shop not to the Pearl Factory in Manacor. We are happy that you enjoyed the caves, we are sorry that you felt the tour rushed and your guide not enthusiastic. Thanks for joining our tour. With regards, Fun and Tickets Team

Breathtaking
Such an amazing place…the caves, the largest underground lake in Europe….breathtaking, especially the music and the boat ride through the lake.
Response from the operator: Hello Lynn Lockett, We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our tour of the Drach Caves in Mallorca. It's truly an amazing and unique place, isn't it? The combination of the caves, the largest underground lake in Europe, and the musical experience during the boat ride is simply unforgettable. We're delighted to know that it took your breath away. Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Warm regards, The Fun&Tickets Team

Only go if you genuinely like caves
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.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, We are pleased to know that although you did not like the Pearl Shop and the second market, you enjoyed very much the first market you visited. The Drach caves are one of the underground beauties in Mallorca and are very visited, but each person has a different opinion, and we understand that you don’t like caves. Thanks for joining our tour. Best Regards, Fun and Tickets Team

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Full-Day Tour of Drach Caves, Porto Cristo & Pearl Factory: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mallorca.
How much does Guided Full-Day Tour of Drach Caves, Porto Cristo & Pearl Factory cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mallorca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Full-Day Tour of Drach Caves, Porto Cristo & Pearl Factory take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mallorca is not rushed.
Is Guided Full-Day Tour of Drach Caves, Porto Cristo & Pearl Factory worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mallorca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Full-Day Tour of Drach Caves, Porto Cristo & Pearl Factory?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Full-Day Tour of Drach Caves, Porto Cristo & Pearl Factory suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Full-Day Tour of Drach Caves, Porto Cristo & Pearl Factory?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mallorca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mallorca and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Full-Day Tour of Drach Caves, Porto Cristo & Pearl Factory start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mallorca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mallorca?
+
On Outty we rank every Mallorca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mallorca Full Day Tour Valldemossa Deià and Sóller Experience, Best Mallorca Coves: Paddle Surf, Snorkeling and Guide, 3 Hours E-Bike Tour in Palma. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mallorca?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mallorca?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
