Hams’ Caves sits just outside Porto Cristo on Mallorca’s east coast, on the Ma-4020 road between Manacor and Porto Cristo. It’s close enough to town for a quick taxi or walk from Porto Cristo, but far enough that planning your route in advance really helps.
This is the easiest public transport option from Palma. Take TIB line 401 from Estació Intermodal and get off at Dinosaurland - Coves Hams, the stop right by the caves. Buses run roughly every 30 minutes, so it’s a pretty straightforward journey.
You can also take the train from Palma Intermodal to Manacor, then switch to a bus toward Dinosaurland - Coves Hams. It works, but it’s slower and less direct than the 401 bus, so I’d only choose this if the bus timing doesn’t suit you.
If you want the simplest door-to-door option, a taxi from Palma is the least fussy. It’s the fastest route from the city and makes the most sense if you’re traveling with kids, carrying extra things, or just don’t want to deal with connections.
Driving is the quickest flexible option from Palma. Once you’re near Porto Cristo, the caves are clearly signposted from the Ma-4020 road. It’s an easy choice if you’re road-tripping across Mallorca or combining the caves with nearby stops on the east coast.
Good news here — Hams’ Caves has free parking on site, which makes driving much more convenient than at a lot of city attractions. There are also public toilets, a bar/restaurant, and a souvenir shop once you arrive.
Hams’ Caves itself is not wheelchair accessible, so that’s the biggest thing to know before planning your route. On-site facilities like the bar, shop, toilets, and parking are available, but the cave route is not step-free. If you’re arriving by public transport, the bus stop is convenient, but the visit inside the caves still won’t be accessible. For a smoother day, arriving by car or taxi may be easier if mobility is a concern.
If you’re already based in Porto Cristo, walking to Hams’ Caves actually makes sense. The distance is about 1.9 km, which takes roughly 23 minutes on foot. It’s a nice option if you want to skip parking, avoid waiting for the bus, and keep the morning simple. A taxi from Porto Cristo takes about 3 minutes if you’d rather save your steps.
The easiest public transport option is the TIB 401 bus from Palma Intermodal to Dinosaurland - Coves Hams. It’s direct, runs roughly every 30 minutes, and stops right by the caves.
Yes — there’s free parking on site, which is honestly one of the biggest reasons driving is convenient here, especially if you’re already exploring Mallorca by car.
Yes, and it’s actually quite doable. The caves are about 1.9 km from Porto Cristo, which is around a 23-minute walk. If you don’t want to walk back, a taxi is very quick.
Not fully. The caves themselves are not wheelchair accessible, though other facilities like the parking area, bar, toilets, and shop are available on site.
Try to leave before the heavier morning traffic if you can, especially in peak season. The drive is about 50 minutes, but it can feel longer if you hit busy hours or are combining it with other east-coast stops.
