🥾 Cross the Island the Old Way
This is not your average island getaway. Our 8-day trek cuts across Socotra from north to south, led by seasoned local guides and accompanied by a camel caravan that carries your gear while you walk free beneath granite peaks and starlit skies.
The journey includes a 4-day crossing through the island’s highest mountain range (3-day option available), and the rest of the itinerary adapts to weather, movement of larger groups, and your pace — because the best adventures aren’t always scripted.
Note: A solid level of fitness is essential. You won’t need to carry your load, but you will be walking far off the beaten path.
