Private Socotra tours
A private Socotra tour gives your group its own expedition: your dates, your pace and an itinerary built around what you want to see, from the dragon blood forests to the lagoons and dunes.
We arrange private journeys for families, groups of friends and companies, for any group size. If you prefer to join a scheduled group, see the 8-day Socotra tour.

- A dedicated local guide for your group
- 4x4 transport across the island
- Camping arrangements, meals and drinking water
- Flight booking with Yemenia Airways, as an Authorized Yemenia Airways Sales Agent
- Visa coordination where a visa is required — see the Socotra visa guide
