When is the Socotra travel season?

Our 2026–2027 season runs from October to early May, with two departures per week.

How does payment work?

You pay a deposit at booking: 30% of the trip price plus the full visa fee. The balance is due 15 days before departure, and we’ll email you a reminder and a payment link. Bookings made within 15 days of departure are paid in full, and you can always choose to pay in full at booking. Refunds follow our cancellation policy: more than 60 days before departure, a full refund less USD 200 per traveller; 60–30 days, 80%; 29–7 days, 70%; under 7 days or no-show, no refund.

Where do we sleep during the expedition?

Every night is spent camping. You’ll sleep in a single or double tent with a mattress, pillow and blanket, close to the island’s landscapes. Socotra is a camping destination, and our camps are set where the scenery is best.

What camping and bedding equipment is provided?

We provide single or double tents, along with a mattress, pillow and blanket. You do not need to bring your own tent or these bedding items.

Are toilets and showers available during the expedition?

We provide portable toilets in separate privacy tents at camp. Showers are available at public bathroom facilities, rather than inside the sleeping tents.

Is internet access available during the Socotra expedition?

Yes. Starlink internet is available to all our travelers at no extra charge, subject to signal and operating conditions. A continuous connection cannot be guaranteed throughout the route.
