My husband and I had the most fun ever in Socotra. It was truly better than our honeymoon. We stayed at the Summerland hotel which was very clean, very nice food and very nice and helpful staff specially Taha who made the trip even more comfortable and enjoyable. I was very surprised by the beauty of the Island and the... More

I just returned from an 10-day vacation to Socotra Island with Socotra Eco Tours. I had a wonderful experience and wanted to tell you about it. I travelled with my friend and we are both young, single American women who live in the UAE. Socotra is known for being a remote, untouched destination with unique plant species that are not... More

I've seen a lot of beauty around the world, but Socotra is one of the best. So remoted, only a few tourists, nice Beaches and so friendly people.

I have been in Socotra twice in the last year. The first time with an organized trip, the second time as indipendent traveller, after just 3 months from the first visit. Why visiting Socotra so often? Because it is a paradise, you get lost in nature and local traditions and forget everything from your life, in Europe. You can relax... More
