Coves dels Hams with kids: tickets and what to expect in Porto Cristo

Coves dels Hams, just outside Porto Cristo, is an underground family outing in eastern Mallorca. The visit takes about an hour and includes illuminated rock formations and projections. It’s a good option for children who enjoy exploring and can manage stairs. Families with babies will need to carry them through the caves.
