When To Go

You can start this tour on any day of the week between the middle of April and the end of June, and then again between the beginning of September and middle of October.

Ibiza and Formentera enjoy a pleasant Mediterranean climate perfect for walking.  If you prefer slightly cooler temperatures and want to see the countryside at its most green then April and May are the perfect time to travel. We do not offer this tour in July and August due to the fact that the high temperatures make it too uncomfortable for walking. September is a great time to visit, and the days are still lovely and warm. In October, it starts to cool down again but is still very pleasant during the day with cooler nights.
