How fit do I need to be?

To join this Formentera walking tour, great fitness is required . Over 4 days, you’ll walk approximately 85 km (53 mi) in total —averaging around 22 km (14 mi) per day —across terrain that includes sea cliffs, rocky shores, forest paths, and some steeper sections. Each walking day is between 6 and 8 hours including stops. Before the trip, you should be comfortable walking 15–20 km (9–12 mi) in a day with 200–300 m (660–1,000 ft) of elevation change. It also helps to have completed at least one longer walk of 25–30 km (15–19 mi) so your body knows what a big day feels like. The more prepared you arrive, the more you’ll enjoy it—but the walk tends to get easier as the days pass and the rhythm settles in. Want to see what else is there in the area?

Formentera is the kind of place people come to lie on a beach for a week. We do it differently, over 4 days and 85 kilometres (53 mi). Formentera is small enough to walk around—and that’s exactly what we do. The terrain keeps things interesting: rugged cliffs, pine forests, quiet beaches, the occasional steep stretch that makes you question your life choices. By day four you’ll have seen more of this island than most people who’ve been coming here for years. This is a serious walk, it’s also seriously fun. Come join us!

This is a guided 4-day walk around the entire coastline of Formentera—the smallest of the Balearic Islands. We cover approximately 85 km (53 mi) in total, walking an average of 22 km (14 mi) per day across terrain that ranges from sea cliffs and rocky shores to pine forests and beach stretches. Each day begins and ends with a transfer, so you return to the same comfortable hotel every evening. Picnic lunches are carried daily, and the pace is shaped around the group—with plenty of stops for views, swims, and simply taking it all in.

Day 1: Ferry to Formentera and the first steps

We meet at Ibiza Port at the ticket office and take the morning ferry across to Formentera—the smallest of the Balearic Islands. After dropping our bags at the hotel, we set off from the island’s main port and begin tracing the coastline on foot. It’s a gentle introduction to the trail, a chance to settle into the rhythm of the walk and get the first proper feel of the island. In the evening, we transfer back to the hotel to rest up for the days ahead.

Meals: Picnic lunch
Hiking: approximately 22 km (13.7 mi), 6-8 hours
Elevation gain: 200-300 m (660-990 ft)
Accommodation: Family-run hotel with sea views

Days 2–3: Walking Formentera's coastline

Over the next two days, we transfer to our starting point each morning and continue walking our way around the island. The route shifts constantly—cliffside paths, sheltered coves, stretches of pine forest, and more open coastal terrain—and no two sections feel quite the same. We walk for around 6 to 8 hours per day including stops for lunch, swims, and views. Picnic lunches are carried with us and enjoyed wherever the trail demands it. In the late afternoon, we transfer back to the same central hotel, returning with tired legs and a growing sense of how much ground we’ve covered.

Meals: Breakfast, picnic lunch
Hiking: approximately 22 km (13.7 mi), 6-8 hours
Elevation gain: 200-300 m (660-990 ft)
Accommodation: Family-run hotel with sea views

Day 4: Completing the island and celebrating the finish

We transfer to the start of the final section and walk the last stretch to complete the full circuit of Formentera. The finish line arrives around 5 pm—a moment that tends to feel bigger than expected. After the celebration, we make our way to the evening ferry back to Ibiza, bringing an unforgettable four days on foot to a close.

Meals: Breakfast, picnic lunch
Hiking: approximately 22 km (13.7 mi), 6-8 hours
Elevation gain: 200-300 m (660-990 ft)

Sylvia

After I had done several walks with these guides, which I absolutely loved, I signed up for the Around The Island of Formentera in 4 days. What a spectacular walk!! Loved all the amazing views and the great group of people. Was a tough 4 days for me as I am not used to such hikes, but everyone was so supportive for each other, so I made it, got the medal 🙂 and I feel really proud. I would really recommend this walk as any of the other walks you can do with Walking Ibiza. The guides are always really enthusiastic and give so much information about everything you see during your walk, it’s really amazing ánd it’s a great way of meeting lots of new friends.

Michelle Reid

The most epic adventure walking, marching at times, around the stunning island of Formentera! 4 days/3 nights of connection, acceptance and completion with ~21 other souls made for an experience to remember forever. It was hot & hard at times but so worth the mental & physical endurance. Highly recommend Toby, Patrick, Belinda and Ibiza Outdoors to lead me anywhere! B-)
