How difficult are the hikes?
We grade all our hikes 1-3 based on 3 important factors: the level of agility, fitness and (lack of) fear of heights required.
We can adjust the hike based on the level of these factors for the individuals in the group. However please note that at Ibiza Hike Station, we offer hiking, not walking!
We list the requirements for each hike within the hike description, so that you can choose one which is perfect for your group. You can click on any of the symbols within the description to see a detailed explanation of each level.
Always choose a hike and level that is suitable for the person in the group with the lowest level of fitness and agility and note that if just 1 person in the group has a fear of heights, you should only choose a hike which has Level 1 “Hike to Get High” (fear of heights).
