Socotra Island is a paradise for trekkers and hikers. With its dramatic mountains, limestone plateaus, deep canyons, and verdant oases, it offers some of the most diverse and breathtaking trekking experiences in the Arabian region. The island's remote paths connect hidden villages, freshwater wadis, ancient cave systems, and high peaks with panoramic views.
Trails can be rocky and remote — you’ll often be the only one for miles. Most hikes are guided and range from a few hours to multi-day treks. Expect changing terrain: desert plateaus, limestone ridges, green wadis, and rocky ascents. Evenings are peaceful and best enjoyed under the stars.
Local Socotri guides accompany you on all hikes, sharing insights about flora, fauna, and cultural landmarks. They know the island's terrain like the back of their hands and ensure safety, comfort, and authentic experiences. Most guides speak Arabic and basic English.
