Socotra (Yemen)


Socotra is known as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean, and for good reason. This isolated, remote and beautiful island is teaming with species that are not found anywhere else on earth. From dragon blood trees to numerous marine species and incredible natural backdrops, Socotra is one of the best places for nature lovers who are looking for something off the beaten track.

Socotra is technically a part of Yemen, however its remoteness and isolation from the mainland means that is has largely been spared from the conflict in the rest of the country. Socotra is a safe way for people to visit Yemen without worrying about the strict Islamic rules or any fighting between the different groups.

Our tours of Socotra combine both camping and hotel stays so that you can experience both the wild and extreme remoteness of the island, but also have the opportunity to freshen up after swimming at the numerous lagoons and beaches so that you can make the most of everything.

If you’re looking to explore some of the most unique nature that mother nature has on display, and you want to combine that with snorkelling at some of the best spots in the world that aren’t crowded with tourists, then Socotra is the spot for you!
