You will not only go on a journey, but on an unrepeatable pilgrimage through the unique landscape of the island, where you will discover something new at every step. Socotra is a place where you won't be looking for a mobile signal, but you'll be traveling back in time.
When I first visited Socotra years ago, I immediately knew that this place would change everything.
I discovered a world so different, raw and unique that I was consumed by a fanatical desire – not only to discover, but also to share.
The island’s isolation, wild nature, the hospitality of the locals, their culture and incredible diversity completely captivated me.
My partner and I have owned a licensed agency, Socotra Exclusive Tours, for more than 15 years and have successfully organized expeditions, themed tours and private and individual trips.
If you want to experience something truly exceptional, now is the right time.
I don't write reviews. It bothers me that everyone asks for them and I'm a rather introverted person and I would rather share my experiences in person than go into detail somewhere and explain why this or that was great or not so great :-D
However, the trip to Socotra organized by Socotra Exclusive Tours was so interesting that I decided to write a review.....
The incredible diversity of the island creates a fascinating picture of the landscape and is so interesting for a European that almost everyone who is lucky enough to see it must find a strong bond with Socotra. The island of Socotra is an attractive place for trekking enthusiasts, and thanks to the pleasant climate, almost everyone can go on a light hike. More athletic tourists can undertake a more demanding trek. For water lovers, an underwater world awaits here, whose amazing species diversity ensures an extraordinary spectacle. You can spot or even swim with dolphins, sharks, see turtles, stingrays and many other beautiful colorful fish living on the coral reefs. Socotra offers something special for everyone and will convince you that the virgin world still exists! Whether you are an enthusiastic traveler, adventurer, botanist, passionate biologist, fisherman or diver, Socotra will reveal to you a part of its prehistoric wealth that you would look for in such abundance and combination elsewhere in the world in vain. The island offers endless kilometers of white coastline, without tourists and without tourist facilities.
