Things to do in Hams Caves
Hidden away near Porto Cristo on Majorca’s east coast, Hams Caves offers an eye-catching trip beneath the island's surface. Discovered in 1905, these underground chambers are famous for their distinctive hook-shaped stalactites, known as “hams” in the local Majorcan language, and are considered one of Majorca’s most interesting natural attractions.
Inside, you’ll find a bunch of illuminated galleries that reveal cryptic rock formations, mirror-like underground lakes, and even a light-and-music show that brings the caves to life.
You can get scenic and atmospheric tours here, which guide you through the different chambers with dramatic lighting that highlights the intricate rock formations. The cool air and quiet atmosphere make it an ideal escape from the island heat. Whether you're a fan of geology, curious sights, or simply looking to do something different, Hams Caves offers an off-beat detour from the usual sun-and-sea itinerary.

Reviews Hams Caves
“Overpriced for what it was. Dinosaur park was just a tiny area with some Dinosaur models. Only suitable for very young children. Caves were a lot better however not guided at all, just a walk through the cave. All the information played through the speakers was in German, not English. Coach transfer was shoddy, coach driver got lost on the return to one of the hotels. Coach was quite old & rickety too.”
“Lovely clean site with lots of car parking. The caves were astonishing. Lots of stairs so not for anyone with mobility issues. We weren't issued with a translator phone so missed half of the video until I went and found a guide who then gave us some. The caves are a wonder of nature.”
“It was a wonderful experience from start the finish. Professional staff is great venue made for an excellent trip”
