Check out our new blog that keeps you updated with fun
information and news about Socotra Adventure Tours! :

Your Compass for a Different World



Socotra is one of those “lost world” islands (separated
from the world six million years ago) where intrepid
travelers - particularly those seeking  exotic nature and
wildlife in a remote tropical setting - can go days on
end without rubbing shoulders with that less -than-
endangered species…tourists.

Known for decades as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean,
it’s the world’s tenth richest island for endemic plant
species. And the biggest island in the Middle East 125
kilometers in length and 45 kilometers across.

Meanwhile the landscape is one of contrasts, for example,
it has isolated nature preserves with dazzling wildlife
(including 900 species of plants, and the famous Dragon’s
Blood Tree “dracaena cinnabara” and the some of rarest
birds that exist nowhere else in the world), and
picturesque sandy beaches.
