We visited the caves in July 2024. We went by bus from Palmanova. It was a bit hard to find the right bus. When we arrived to Genovas it was easy to find the caves. If you go by car, there is parking right outside.
The caves are small and it took about 15-20 minutes to finish the tour. It was beautiful inside with the lighting.

We were staying in Cala Major and it cost us 8 euros in a taxi or a 40 minute walk. The caves are open from 11.30 Tuesday to Sunday - do not turn up on a Monday like we did as there is nothing to do in the area that surrounds the caves. We visited these caves with 6 adults and three children aged 3, 3 and 1 costing 9 euros for adults and 5 euros each for the children. Upon entering the caves there are a number of steep steps to go down which initially is quite daunting but once down there it opens up and the fun begins. The guide speaks very little English but has learnt key words which he repeats over and over. These are words such as "take photo" "stalagmite" and "stalagtite". The caves are beautifully lit with different coloured lights and the guide points out shapes that have been formed within the rocks such as the "madonna and child" and a vegetable garden with mushrooms, potato's and cauliflower. Further down into the cave the guide demonstrates by knocking on the different stalagmites musical notes can be heard. Much to the delight of the children, the opening bars to "in the night garden" could be heard which had them dancing 36 metres underground! The guide was the star of this attraction and although the caves are small they are beautiful and well worth a visit. Our children have said that the caves were the highlight of their 10 day trip to the island!

Our taxi driver convinced us to visit these caves before we head to the beach for a late lunch and swim. The caves are great. It's a long drive from the port where our cruise ship us docked but we managed to do the cave tour reasonably quickly
There is a boat ride and light show inside the caves but we didn't have time to sit for it all and just did a walk thru since we were in Majorca for only a few hours.

Loved the cave tour. Can’t stand the tourist thing so wanted a different experience and this was it. Our guide was really funny and my teenage boys were very amused. Afterwards we ate at the restaurant and had a wonderful experience there too. Make sure to get the house rose. Wonderful. Also the eggplant nachos were excellent and unexpected. Very unique experience!

Spent 12 euros on a taxi to visit the caves after ringing up to check that they would be open (website and timetable on the gate says open till 8 and the man on the phone said the same). Got there just after 6 to find it closed. Lots of other visitors turning away. Poor service.

Travel to the caves was very very long, Stopped off to pearl making, rubbish. Stopped off a war tower, interesting. Seen some beautiful views. Caves was ok, but when once you've seen them all, the music bit was okay and sail back in the boat was nice. 241 step all together was exhausting! Stopped off at a lovely port beach and had lunch and sunbathed! Last stop was liquor tasting, that was okay if its your find of thing. Not worth the value of money of 40euros.

I've read some of the reviews here and I think a few of them are writing reviews for Cuevas del Drach, which is on the far east of the island. Cuevas de Genova is near Palma. My wife and I were able to take the 46 bus and a short 5 minute walk to the entrance of the restaurant. Luckily we got there when the restaurant was not busy so someone (Diego) was able to show us around the cave for $10 Euros each. He said the restaurant and caves are under new management and they're working on putting up hours for the cave tours. Different colored lights were installed inside the cave to give a different theme in different sections of the cave which was nice. Diego guided me and my wife (very small tour group!) through the cave and happily gave us information and history of the cave. Definitely a great tour guide and spoke English very well! The tour took about 30 minutes. We didn't get to eat at the restaurant but the menu/food looked very good. We walked back to the main street to catch the bus back into city to our hotel. Make sure to wear proper shoes because it can be slippery inside!

We came a cross this cave on an early morning walk in the area. We decided to come back in the evening with our friends. After trying to find out their opening hours and talking to them over the phone (Spanish only), we went there by chance. Apparently the latest guided tour started at 18-18:30 but they kept the caves open another 30 minutes just for us.
The entrance is hidden in a garden in a little cafe and there is a large parking space next to it. The place is run by an elderly Spanish speaking couple.
The caves are quite small but still a very nice surprise, much bigger and more exciting than anticipated. As the we do not speak Spanish the information during the tour was limited but the guide himself was very enthusiastic and seemed to be proud of his caves.
We were a group of nine and more than that would have felt crowded. The kids were thrilled and the parents thought it was a nice excursion before heading of for dinner at nearby Meson can Pedro.
Go for a visit if you are in the vicinity, but do not spend hours to get here!

The views were great but a very small visit and took only about 15 minutes, extremely quiet and staff weren’t anywhere around. It made pretty pictures but I don’t think it was worth the 10 minute taxi personally, it may have been nicer if we could find the restaurant everyone was talking about though.

I was thinking of visiting the caves on the way to the airport. Is there a place I can put my luggage while I explore the caves?
Written May 30, 2019
Not sure if they have a designated luggage area.but they were extremelly friendly so would probably stow your bags away while you visit the caves.

We ate first and then paid €10 each to go in the caves. We didn’t get any discount and it was December so out of season
