Hams Caves (Cuevas dels Hams) Tours and Tickets

There's more to Mallorca than beaches and pools, and this day trip puts the spotlight on sea caves of Mallorca's eastern coast. With a guide, you'll travel to the Porto Cristo area to visit the pretty harbor town and its nearby star attractions: the Caves of Drach and the Caves of Ham. A Lake Martel boat trip with a serenade by classical musicians is a highlight of the trip.

On a half-day tour excursion from your hotel, explore the Caves of Hams and the brand-new Dinosaurland in Mallorca. The tour includes transportation back to your accommodation.

Journey to a world of shimmering pearls, pristine beaches and crystalline caverns on this half-day tour of eastern Mallorcan highlights. Visit a local pearl factory to see how the perfect white orbs are produced, and enjoy some time to browse pearls at bargain prices. Then, explore the fairytale underground world of the Caves of Hams. Admire magnificent stalactite formations and experience the natural acoustics during a short classical concert inside one of the caverns. You’ll also stop at the lovely beach resort town of Porto Cristo for photos.

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.
