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.
