Discover Socotra’s extraordinary landscapes, unique wildlife and rich island culture, guided by the local people who know its hidden corners, traditions and stories better than anyone else.
Explore Our ToursFar out in the Arabian Sea, Socotra is unlike anywhere else on Earth. Dragon blood trees rise above rocky plateaus, white dunes meet turquoise water, and quiet coastal villages follow their own rhythm. This is an island best discovered slowly, with the people who know its roads, stories and changing seasons.
Socotra rewards curiosity. From remote beaches to highland forests, every part of the island reveals something unexpected. Come for the landscapes; leave with a deeper sense of the place and its people.
There is no single way to experience Socotra. Every tour takes you across the island over eight days and seven nights, but the level of comfort is yours to choose. Join a small group and camp beneath the stars on the Wild Tour, travel privately with a little extra comfort on the Comfy Tour, or return to a hotel each night on VCP. Whichever journey fits you, local guides and 4x4 adventures are part of the experience.
Choose the experience that suits the way you travel. Wild is a small-group camping adventure, Comfy is a private journey with glamping tents, and VCP offers private travel with hotel stays each night. Each eight-day tour includes a local English-speaking guide, 4x4 transport and three meals a day. Your exact itinerary and pricing are shared after you enquire.
An island of remarkable contrasts. Across Socotra, dragon blood trees rise from rocky plateaus, immense sand dunes meet the sea, and sheltered lagoons glow in shades of blue. No two landscapes feel the same. Isolation has shaped an extraordinary array of plants and wildlife, making the journey fascinating in its smallest details and its sweeping views.
We create memories, not tours. From nights beneath the stars to winding roads and shared meals, the best moments on Socotra are the ones that stay with you long after the journey ends.
