Socotra, Yemen
The island the world forgot to visit
Eight and eleven-day expeditions across Socotra, led by a Socotri team who grew up on these routes.
First impressions
Six landscapes, one week of driving
Socotra changes character every few hours: tidal lagoon, dragon blood forest, limestone canyon, dune, cave, reef. Our routes are built to connect them without rushing any of them.

Featured expeditions
Four ways across the same island
Same team, same standard of camp and food. What changes is how much of the island you cross on foot - and if none of the three fits, we build a private expedition around you.

How we travel
A Socotri team, a small group and a camp that is already standing
Three guests per 4x4, so nobody rides in the middle. An English-speaking Socotri guide with you from arrival to departure, plus specialist local guides and rangers for the caves, canyons and protected forests.
Three freshly cooked meals a day, three private camps kept away from the island's busiest shared sites, and all setup and packing handled by our crew. You walk, swim and sleep; the logistics are ours.
Practical questions, answered plainly
Every expedition begins and ends at Socotra Airport. Guests travel on the return Jeddah-Socotra flight, which is booked alongside the trip for $1,100 per person.
