Dear Travellers,
Socotra Island is one of the nature wonders of the world, an island known for its biodiversity and distinctive ecosystems. While hikers admire its stunningly beautiful mountain ranges, white sandy beaches and fabulous marine life attract divers and snorkellers.
Socotra is located south east of Yemen in the Indian Ocean (see the map here). It lies 350 km from nearest coastal city in Yemen, Al-Mukalla. The Socotra archipelago consists of the main island of Socotra, which covers an area of 3625 square kilometres, and other smaller islands that administratively belong to Socotra: Abd el Kuri, Samha and Darsa. For further information about Socotra you can visit the website of the Socotra Governance & Biodiversity Project.
Socotra Trek Tours is a local tour operator managed by young Socotrian men, who —based on their local experiences— provide eco-tourism services to travellers, who want to visit the island individually or in groups. Socotra Trek Tours provides eco-tours in order to preserve the uniqueness of Socotra and its fragile environment. All field guides, drivers, cooks and divers are experienced, well-trained and well-equipped.
