Actively discover the pearl of the Balearic Islands

23 September - 30 September 2025

Menorca, quite different from its big sister Mallorca, captivates with its tranquility and authenticity. Stunning coves with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, picturesque fishing villages, and a hilly, green hinterland make the island a paradise for leisurely hikers. Alongside your local guide, you will explore the most beautiful trails and paths on the island. Picture-perfect beaches provide opportunities for relaxation and swimming breaks, sometimes even a picnic. In small fishing villages, you will enjoy traditional cuisine in family-run restaurants, before concluding your journey with a cheese tasting accompanied by local wine – the famous "Queso Mahón," renowned throughout Spain.

This trip includes five easy to moderately difficult hikes of up to eleven kilometers on paved, sandy, or rocky paths. With normal hiking fitness, these routes are easy to manage thanks to the regular breaks.
