Although described as the liveliest resort on Majorcas east coast, Cala d'Or will never compare to the south coast resorts for daytime attractions. However, you may be tempted by a trip on one of the numerous glass bottomed boats.
For the kids there are trampolines and mini karts at Mallorcalandia.
If
you've hired a car and can get out of the resort, the east coast does have a
number of other attractions worth a visit.
Discovered by Pedro Caldentey in 1905, the Caves of Hams are famous for
their peculiar formations, and for their marvelous underground lake. If you

October is 10am to 6pm and from November to February 10:30am to 5:30pm.
