THIS SOCOTRA TRIP IS DIFFERENT!

What you have all been waiting for, the Socotra Experience without the camping!
Until now, ALL trips to Socotra are camping and tent- based. You stay in crowded public designated campsite, with shared toilets for all of the tour companies. This means many people (up to 50) sharing the same toilet and shower.

Added benefits:

  • Wifi 2 nights/4

  • Private Shower attached to the room, with hot water and electricity every night. Catered meals from professional kitchen with fresh, safe and clean cooking guaranteed.

  • Speedboat Trip to save driving on the rugged roads.

  • Camel Trek for 2 hours along the dunes of Nuged

  • English and Arabic speaking guides.

  • We do not use any public camping sites or any tents, mattresses or sleeping bags.

  • We have 2 sites that are completely private that no other companies even know about in the South West side of the island, in Nuged.

  • Land around noon and waste no time getting to the port for the speedboat ride (not a fishing boat, a boat you can stand up comfortably on and relax) for 30 minutes to take you to Irsel, the easternmost point on the island.

    Spend the day paddleboarding, kayaking and relaxing and collecting shells with a shaded tent and beach chairs. Return for the night to Hadibo to have dinner in the Coffee Shop, meet the women of the island, and relax in your own bedroom with attached bathroom.

  • Today we will explore the forest of the Dragon Blood Trees, with a picnic in the middle the forest after we arrive, and a short hike through the rocky hills. Then we will drive a short distance to Wadi Dirhir where we will walk through the water filled wadi and enjoy swimming at the end through small waterfalls and pools. Then we will drive back to Nuged for the night, arriving by sunset. Overnight: Nuged Bungalows or huts, as you like. Driving time: 2 hours Your stuff: pack your back to move to Nuged tonight.

  • The most gentle talkative camels you’ve ever met will be up to have breakfast with you. Then, we saddle up for our 1 hour trek to reach the farthest edge of the island, in the white sand dunes that look exactly like Zaheq, but with no people, campers or dune bashers anywhere in sight. After our tour, we will board our boat again and drive to Neet Beach for the rest of the day, where we will have a salt bath in the waters near Neet. Get ready for some more beach time complete with some toys and body surfing and kayaking. Then we head back to Nuged for the night with dinner ready on our arrival. Overnight: Nuged Bungalows Driving time:Just the boat!
