EXPLORE THE ISLAND

Look closer. Much of what makes Socotra remarkable lives in the details.

All island experiences

BIRDS & QUIET OBSERVATION

Make time for birdwatching in the highlands and along the coast. Travel quietly, keep your distance and let your guide help you notice what is around you. Sightings are never guaranteed.

PLANTS WITH A STORY

Dragon blood trees, desert roses and frankincense trees are part of the island’s distinctive plant life. Observe them where they grow and leave plants, resin and seeds untouched.

LIFE BELOW THE SURFACE

Marine environments offer another way to experience the island, from coastal shallows to snorkelling sites. Conditions, visibility and local guidance determine what is possible each day.
