Few have heard of Socotra and even fewer have visited. Many of those who know about Socotra (you are among a select group if you have any knowledge of this remarkable island), are plant enthusiasts, who are drawn to the bizarre and spectacular plant life of the island. Less known is the fact that the island is dramatically beautiful. The plant life will wow those with little interest in botany, so unique is Socotra's vegetation. But the bigger surprise are the mountains, azure mountain rivers, beaches, forests, and the incredible welcome you receive from Socotris. This 10 night journey includes a 3 day camel trek into the almost inaccessible center of the island. We trek 5-7 hours per day, camels carry our gear and we camp in remote and stunning locations. Our delightful Socotra team will guide you everywhere on the island, set up camp, cook great meals, drive us around the island, explain the many sights of their island to us, and arrange impromptu parties in the evening. The energy they bring to your Socotra journey makes your experience all the more enjoyable. Each day brings a new adventure as we explore another part of this varied island, and observe more of the endemic plant life, the most renown of which are the dragon blood trees. We will visit villages and meet locals, hike into canyons to swim in beautiful rivers, enjoy the beaches and water of the azure Arabian Sea, take hikes through phenomenal landscapes, and camp under the stars in comfortable tents.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS JOURNEY IS DEPENDENT UPON THE RESUMPTION OF THE 2 WEEKLY FLIGHTS FROM ABU DHABI. AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION OF THIS. LET US KNOW IF INTERESTED IN THIS JOURNEY AND WE WILL CONTACT YOU AS SOON AS THERE IS CONFIRMATION.
