Cuevas Dels Hams
A half day visit to the Caves of Hams is a great option for those with little time to spare on their holidays and who want to visit just the Caves of Hams (or Coves dels Hams in the local language). This excursion takes us to visit the marvellous Caves of Hams, located in Porto Cristo in the east area of Mallorca, around 60km from the south. We will drive through the countryside from Palma to Porto Cristo and our guide will tell us tales of Mallorca and interesting things about the area we drive through. The visit to the Caves of Hams Mallorca takes approximately 45 minutes. You can marvel at the stalactites and stalagmites and the small lakes that have been formed in the caves as you pass through the different interlinking caverns. At the end of the route there is a show inspired by the Carnival of Venice with laser lights projected onto the walls of the Caves of Hams accompanied by Mozart music.

Beautiful to see
Beautiful caves and a lovely lake but staff rushed you around from one cave to the next.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback! 😊🦇 We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful caves and the lovely underground lake. The visit follows a set itinerary and schedule, so guests can experience the different caves, the Blue Cave and the audiovisual elements within the allocated time. We understand that the pace may feel quick, especially when there are many visitors, but the timings are designed to allow everyone to experience the full programme rather than spending the entire visit in one area. Thank you for choosing Nofrills Excursions and for sharing your experience. 💙🌴✨

DONT BOOK THIS PLACE! THE AD IS WRONG INFORMATION!
This add is misleading. It states there are 2 options for a meeting point. 1 in Palma and 1 an hour away in the opposite direction. The only reason why I booked this is because I was closer to the Palma location. I called Viator BEFORE the meeting time, and they said it was ok to meet in Palma. I even got an email confirmation saying No Frills was contacted and that they will come pick me up. No that is not what happened. A lady from the No Frills place called and said that's the wrong location. I explained to her what has been told to me and she hung up the phone. I called back and no one knew what was going on and didn't give a F*** about me. I called Viator back and demanded a refund. I immediately got an email saying No Frills denied my refund. Why? all because THEIR AD IS WRONG! how is this my fault? this place sucks! Don't book anything from them!
Response from the operator: Dear traveller, Your review is simply not accurate, and we must respond very clearly to the false claims being made. Your voucher clearly stated your pickup point in Alcudia, including: the exact address pickup time and a map We have a copy of the voucher, and there is absolutely no ambiguity about the meeting point. You were also informed of this again during the phone calls. The issue here is very simple: you did not go to the correct pickup location shown on your voucher. That is why the booking was considered a no-show. You claim “the ad is wrong”, but dozens of other customers using the same information arrived correctly at their meeting points that same day without any issue. The problem was not the information provided — the problem was that you did not read or follow it correctly. Regarding Viator: they contacted us, we confirmed the correct pickup point listed on your booking, and the refund was denied accordingly because the service operated normally and you were not there. We also strongly reject your comments about our staff “not caring”. Our team tried to explain the situation to you more than once, but unfortunately we cannot move buses across the island because a customer went to the wrong location despite having the correct information in writing.

Great Day Out
Wonderful trip to the caves of Hams. Would especially recommend for your children as it is next to Dinosaur Land. We then went to the pearl outlet which we enjoyed. The guide Mariana was lovely as was the bus driver. I would recommend this trip.
Response from the operator: Dear traveller Thanks for taking the time to share your experience on trip advisor. We are glad you had a good time with us. We are a small excursion company and we focus on offering great experiences to our clients visiting Mallorca at value for money prices. We value the comments from our customers and their reviews on trip advisor as it helps other travellers to plan their holidays and to know about us, we believe this is the best way to do marketing, and all based on real travellers and real experiences. Thanks for the review, and if you come back to Mallorca, do not hesitate to get in touch with us or to check our website where we have all our excursions available, and even cheaper than in resort.

Too short
too short for my expectations, we thought in a different kind of interaction ……. the last part I couldn’t see too many people they should play twice
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of our excursion with the Trip Advisor community.

Over sold
Over sold. Picked up in a giant double decker coach and it didn't have any seats for me and my daughter to sit down in. The tour guide suggested my daughter sit on her own and I sit elsewhere. Obviously told him no therefore turning what should be a nice excursion into a stressful experience
Response from the operator: we are sorry to inform you you posted the review in the wrong place as we havent had any coach overbooked. All places are numbered and the clients have a seat on the bus.

Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mallorca.
How much does Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 32 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 Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film?
+
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 Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film?
+
Around 11 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Palma de Mallorca Half-Day to Caves of Hams, Blue Cave and film 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, Cala des Moro, S’Almunia & Best Coves, SUP & Snorkel by Van, Luxury Catamaran sailing with welcome Drinks Tapas Max10-12Person. 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.
