Walking Ibiza: discover the “other side” of the White island!

Ibiza is not only the paradise of clubbers. 

In the white island there are several groups that organize interesting activities.

Today we spoke with Walking Ibiza… and  the founder… Toby Clarke…who told  us:”I literally walked into setting up Walking Ibiza, after leaving the corporate lifestyle in the Uk which I felt no longer served me, I gave up my high paying job, I sold the big house and fast car and with my  Wife  we went travelling for a year, we went from luxury lifestyle to living on 10€ a day and loved it, I found myself again and felt the lust for life!

After spending a week with a Shaman in Peru we both got a message so strong to come to Ibiza, that we cut our trip short and we landed on Ibiza, which is where I was born, so this was my home”

Toby then got the urge to try and walk around the entire coastline of the magical island, the night before heading off with no maps, just knowing that he wanted to keep the sea on his left side he also decided to take no money, just a symbolic 1€!

11 days later he completed the amazing adventure and survived by begging, borrowing, stealing and foraging for food & water – this was the birth of Walking Ibiza!

People started to ask Toby to take them walking, some living here for 20 years did not know where the photos Toby shared were taken, this was the birth of the community walks which take place every Friday, each week we walk a different location and Toby or one of his wonderful guides leads the way pointing out wild herbs, explaining about the history and having lots of fun.

When Toby’s Mum sheila moved to the island she started up Short & Sweet walks, a 2 hour walk with home made cake and tea at the end.

Now every week there are 3 walks:

Wednesday 10am Short & Sweet 2 hour/5km walk with tea and cake

Friday Classic walk 10am 4 hours /10km’s often with menu del dia at the end

Sunday Social 11am 3-4 hours /8-10km’s with picnic and wine

All walks are by donation of 10€ per person

Special February 10th & 11th & March 11th & 12th Full Moon Almond Blossom walks

Toby also offers private walks all over the island, walking & yoga holiday in September and the ultimate Around The Island walk over 12 days every October! So, if you want to discover “the other side” of the island…you have an interesting option!
