Socotra Island is a mysterious jewel in the Arabian Sea, known (only to a few) for its ethereal landscapes and unspoiled nature. Located south of Yemen, the UNESCO site is treasured for its endemic plants – including the Dragon Blood Tree – and its biodiversity, which has earned it the nickname ‘Galapagos of the Indian Ocean’. Rocky and rugged, Socotra Island boasts a wildly exciting landscape for tourists, comprised of sand dunes, deep canyons and a beautiful turquoise coastline.
Due to its isolated location, nature is the main attraction on Socotra island. Visitors should therefore expect their trips to be filled with adventure. During your seven-day trip, you will visit all the best sites on the island, including caves, sand dunes, lagoons, beaches, marine reserves, forests and more. Physical activity such as hiking will be required most days.
Another unforgettable highlight will include interaction with local inhabitants, who are always welcoming and willing to meet tourists.
Throughout your tour, you will be provided with three meals per day, with ingredients including fresh fish, fruit, vegetables, fresh bread, rice, and pasta.
This trip is suitable for everyone who is looking for a wonderful place to have an adventure. As a VIP trip, this package will include extra items, including laundry services and upscale accommodation at Soqotri Chalet.
