We spent an unforgettable week in a place that felt like paradise. Every day brought new locations, each more beautiful than the last. And although photos cannot convey the full charm of the moment, all our friends were delighted by the stories we shared with them every day — many have already added this wonderful island to their own travel plans. The sea, dolphins, canyons, trees and animals, caves and dunes — this is what you have to see while you are there. A special thank you to our guide Isa and to Ramen, our driver and cook in one, who made sure the tour went without a single worry.

We have been to a lot of places on our beautiful planet, but this one is truly UNREAL, it really does feel like another planet))) You switch off from civilisation completely and dissolve into this beauty: unique nature, incredible landscapes, the ocean and billions of stars in the sky!! So cool 🔥 Socotra is now one of my top places on the planet!!

FAQ

Can I go alone?

Yes, of course! Author tours often include people traveling alone. This is a great opportunity to meet new people who share your interests. In addition, many tours include shared accommodation and activities, which helps create a friendly atmosphere.

What is the average age of participants?

The average age of participants usually ranges from 25 to 45, but people of all ages can participate. The main thing is the desire to explore new things, activity and openness. On the website or with the organizer, you can check whether a particular tour is suitable for your age group.

What is included in the tour price?

As a rule, the cost of an author tour includes accommodation, transfers, excursions and guide support. Flights, personal expenses and some meals are often not included. Be sure to check with the organizer for the full list of services before booking to know what exactly is included in the package.

Do I need to have special physical training to participate?

This depends on the type of tour. Most of the author tours are suitable for people with moderate physical fitness. However, if the program includes active hiking, climbing or other physically demanding activities, the organizers usually warn about this. Before booking, please check whether the tour is suitable for your level of training.

Can I cancel the tour and get my money back?

Refund conditions depend on the rules of the particular tour. Usually, the sooner you report that you are unable to travel, the more money you can get back. In some cases, the organizer may offer a replacement or reschedule the tour to other dates. Please check the cancellation policy before booking to avoid any misunderstandings.
