Of the island, by the island.
Our guides were born on Socotra. They speak Socotri, Arabic and English, and they read the land the way you read a book.

A small island,
long forgotten.
We run quiet expeditions on Socotra, a remote island two hundred miles off the coast of Yemen, where six million years of isolation produced a flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth.

Different paces.
Same island.
Three routes shaped by how much time you have and how rugged you'd like the days to feel. Itineraries flex with the weather and the group.
A Photo EssayA rare island where nature has
A rare island where nature has
remained beautifully untamed.
From the alien silhouettes of the dragon blood trees to the white silence of Detwah Lagoon, Socotra reveals itself slowly. We don't promise it will change you. We just suspect it will.
Why travel with us
Guided by those who know the island.
Authentic
Quiet
An expedition, not a tour.
Small groups. Slow days. Time for the kind of silence the modern world has nearly forgotten how to hold.
Light-footed
Travel that gives more than it takes.
Leave-no-trace camping, local employment, conservation contributions. We want this island to outlast us.
Field Letters · Shared by Travelers
"Socotra exceeded all expectations. The dragon blood trees are even more magical in person. Our guide was knowledgeable and the whole experience was perfectly organised."
