Hercules Caves opening hours
The ministry ticket platform currently publishes visiting hours of 09:00–17:00 for Hercules Caves. A dated third-party map listing differs, so this page separates the published schedule from unverified assumptions.

What the official platform publishes
The ministry’s e-services page lists 09:00–17:00, checked 4 November 2026. It does not clearly publish a last-entry time, a weekly closing day or a complete holiday calendar. We therefore do not claim the caves are open every day of the year, and we do not state a final admission time. Ramadan, public holidays and temporary events may change on-site arrangements.
Why other listings differ
A Google Maps snapshot checked on 29 October 2026 showed an 11:00 opening. Third-party listings, blogs and tour descriptions can lag behind the operator’s schedule. Use the official platform as the reference; if the two still disagree on the day, ask the site staff or check with your driver before paying for the trip.
Sunset is not a closing time
The caves sit on the Atlantic coast near Cap Spartel, and visitors often combine them with a coastal sunset. A late sunset does not imply extended cave opening hours. Plan the cave visit inside the published window and treat any viewpoint stop as a separate part of the day.
Before you go
What time do Hercules Caves open?
The official ticket platform publishes 09:00–17:00 (checked 4 November 2026). A Google Maps snapshot from 29 October 2026 showed 11:00 instead. Confirm on the official platform before travelling rather than relying on either third-party listing.
Are the caves open every day, including holidays?
The official page we checked does not clearly set out holiday, Ramadan or weekly arrangements. We do not claim year-round daily opening; check the platform and on-site notices for your date.
Is there a published last-entry time?
Not in the information we checked. We do not invent one. Arrive with a comfortable margin before 17:00 and confirm the cut-off with the operator.
