Socotra Trip – Uncover Nature’s Best-Kept Secret

Socotra Trip - Unlike Anywhere Else on Earth

Discover an island where nature writes its own rules

Socotra Trip: Join us on an once-in-a-lifetime journey to Socotra, one of the most remote and unique islands on the planet. From surreal landscapes and ancient legends to untouched beaches and traditional villages - this trip is an experience beyond imagination.

Explore Earth's Alien Garden

Socotra is one of the most isolated landforms on Earth with continental origin. A third of its plant life exists nowhere else on the planet, including the otherworldly dragon's blood tree - an umbrella-shaped icon of the island.

Where Legends Grow

The dragon's blood tree isn't just strange-looking - it tells a story. According to local legend, the first trees sprang from the blood of two brothers, Darsa and Samha, who fought to the death. In Arabic, the tree's red sap is known as dam al akhawain, "the blood of the two brothers."

Trek Socotra by Foot or Camel

The highlights of our Socotra trip is a 6-day trek through pristine valleys, secluded beaches, and breathtaking landscapes. Whether on foot or camel, you'll experience nature up close and meet locals in traditional Socotri villages, offering rare cultural insights.

Step Into Hoq Cave

Carved into the cliffs above the sea, Hoq Cave holds ancient inscriptions left by seafarers centuries ago. It's a powerful reminder of Socotra's  place in history, echoing stories lost in time.   

Dolphins, Diving & Dream Beaches

Whether you're a diver or a nature lover, Socotra offers something rare. Our boat rides are often accompanied by dolphins, and diving spots reveal colorful coral reefs and thriving marine life - untouched and serene.
