How to get here

FLIGHTS: Getting to and from Socotra is easiest by taking a humanitarian flight from Abu Dhabi. These flights operate twice a week during the high season, which runs from October to April. Since these aren't commercial flights, online booking is not available. However, we can secure a seat for you through our direct contacts with the airline.

VISA: To travel to Socotra, you'll need a visa, which costs USD 150. We will arrange this for you, and it will be issued three weeks before you travel. If you'd prefer not to have a stamp in your passport, please let us know in advance, and we can assist you with this.

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION: Exploring Socotra is best done with a guided tour, as there's no public transportation or car rentals available on the island. Booking a tour with a local agency like Socotra Native Tours is your best bet. Our local, English-speaking guides are passionate about showing you the highlights of their homeland.
