Seventy-five miles of sea and shore.
Robert Louis Stevenson never says how far the Hispaniola sails. StoryTrek’s route covers 75 miles, with 11 waypoints drawn from the story. Every walk, run, or treadmill session your phone records brings you nearer the treasure.
How long the journey takes
| You walk | You reach the end in |
|---|---|
| 1 mile a day (2 km) | about 11 weeks |
| 2 miles a day (3 km) | about 38 days |
| 3 miles a day (5 km) | about 25 days |
| 5 miles a day (8 km) | about 15 days |
A 10,000-step day is roughly 4 to 5 miles, which gets you to the end in about 17 days.
The voyage, from inn to island.
The route begins at the Admiral Benbow Inn and follows Jim to Bristol and out to sea aboard the Hispaniola. On the island it follows him through Long John Silver’s plotting and the defense of the stockade, and on along the map toward Captain Flint’s treasure.
Each waypoint pairs one of N. C. Wyeth’s paintings, which have shaped how readers picture Treasure Island for more than a century, with a moment from the story. Reach one, and the next leg of the voyage opens.
Walk it together
Start a company and sign on a crew: a friend, a book club, or the whole office. Everyone walks their own miles, wherever they live, while the crew sails the same course to Treasure Island.
