Cuevas del Drach (Dragon Caves)

Caving & sea caving
Discover two thrilling underground adventures in Mallorca
Choose between inland caving and sea caving - each offers a unique way to uncover the island’s secret subterranean world.
Inland caving takes you deep into Mallorca’s limestone interior. You’ll explore ancient rock formations, winding tunnels and impressive chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Some caves are spacious and accessible, while others are more challenging - ideal for adventurous explorers. With expert local guides leading the way, it’s a safe and spectacular journey into the heart of the island.
Sea caving, on the other hand, adds an aquatic twist. You’ll swim or snorkel along the coast to reach dramatic sea caves carved into the cliffs. Some routes include abseiling down to the water or entering through natural sea tunnels. Inside, you’ll find crystal-clear lakes, strange rock formations and vast hidden rooms that feel completely otherworldly. It’s a high-adrenaline experience that combines elements of climbing, swimming and exploration.
Whichever you choose, both caving and sea caving offer an extraordinary way to discover the secret side of Mallorca - whether you’re underground or underwater.
