Event Details

Make 2018 the year you do something amazing! Walk the entire coastline of Ibiza with the wonderful adventure.

The Around The island Adventure has become an annual tradition with Walking Ibiza taking small groups each journey to retrace the original trip walked by founder Toby Clarke back in 2010. In the original journey Toby and his dog Cosmo walked the entire island following the coastline as close as possible and survived the entire 11 days with just 1€!

In contrast the Adventure is now fully supported along the way with nutritional daily food deliveries, a fully stocked support vehicle and even a few nights in a hotel to ensure the participants remain in good health and spirits.

We start in Ibiza Town, with locals waving us off, and walk through the old town towards Playa d’en Bossa, Ibiza’s longest beach. As we leave the town behind you’ll get a real sense of the adventure you’re about to embark on.

Over the next 11 days, we will walk around the coastline of the island, using paths that have existed for hundreds of years – and sometimes creating our own paths too! We will be able to connect with the island physically, mentally, spiritually.

The total distance is 260 km, so we are walking about 25km a day, although the distance will be less on hilly days. We try to balance long days followed by short days, and the longest day would be maximum 25-30km. Ibiza is very hilly, and we climb around 7000m over the course of the trek – this is higher than Kilimanjaro!

You will need to carry a 5kg day pack containing mainly water, snacks and packed lunch. Extra assistance will be provided to carry camping kit. We provide a support vehicle which will take your luggage to the next camping point or hotel.

At the end of the journey as you come in towards Ibiza Town, with the old town on the hill, it can be a very emotional moment to cross over the finish line and enjoy a glass of champagne as people cheer you on. After cleaning up, we finish with a celebratory dinner in a restaurant or private venue to reminisce over this incredible experience.

Most people say this experience has changed their life in some way, being out in nature, one foot in front of the other, disconnecting from technology, and fully experiencing all that Ibiza, and life, have to offer.
