What's it all about?
We have at least six confirmed small group tours to the Yemeni island every year. This is a great time to visit the island as the bottle trees are still in bloom!
For those unfamiliar with Socotra, the place is like nowhere else on earth. Over 30% of plant life on the island can only be found on Socotra. Situated off the Horn of Africa in the Indian Ocean, Socotra is an archipelago belonging to Yemen. Luckily it has been completely unaffected by the country’s ongoing civil war and has become one one of the world’s least visited and untouched gems. Socotra is now looking to put itself back on the tourist trail.
Socotra island is a remarkable place for camping, walking, hiking, wildlife spotting & cultural immersion. It’s for anyone who wants to experience a natural world like no other.
