Majorca Island Travel Forum

how long does the trip around the caves last?
would it be recommended to teenagers or would we find it boring?

All depends on how strong your interest is in underground caves. The two most well known sites in Majorca are the Cuevas del Drach and Cuevas de Arta.

If you are not "into" caves I suggest you do a little research before deciding. From memory I'd say the tour at both those above takes between 60 & 90 minutes.

thanks, i live in majorca and i just wanted to see a bit more of the island, i was thinking that more than 2 hours would have been a test of our teenage concentration :D but 90 minutes is great! thanks :)

I forgot to mention that at the Cuevas del Drach some tours include a concert.
This takes place in a natural amphitheatre with an underground lake across which a small boat brought the instrumentalists.
The music played was restful and quite romantic - I enjoyed it but it may not be a teenagers choice. They may perform more modern music some days.

If you live anywhere near the northeast of the island the caves at Campanet might be worth a look. They are smaller and less commercial than Drach so won't take too long, there is a nice cafe with a good balcony and great views of the surrounding countryside. Being 'family run' they have a more relaxed feeling, Drach is so busy that they keep rushing you along and don't allow you to stop and admire the features or take photos.
