IMPORTANT: The tour price includes your visa fee (usually $150) but does not include your return flights to Socotra.
You can fly in and out from Abu Dhabi. However, flights cannot be booked online. We can book them for you through a local agent based in Abu Dhabi.
The return flight is approximately $950 from Abu Dhahi to Socotra, and the whole group must travel on the same flight in and out of Socotra.
NOTE: The visa & flight fees are subject to change for the 2025 season as the government and airline control them. The flight schedule for our trip will be published in early summer 2025, and this is when we can confirm the price and book your flights for you.
To secure your spot on the tour, we require a non- refundable deposit of USD 600. Your deposit includes the visa fee. We’ll share more information regarding the final payment after your reservation is confirmed.
Please note that your spot is not confirmed until you have paid the deposit, so don’t wait! Send us your booking request below, and we’ll forward you a link to pay your deposit to confirm!
If we don’t reach the minimum number of travellers required to run this trip (10 people), we will refund all the deposits paid to you in full.
Itinerary Notes:
This itinerary is open to minor changes depending on the flights, weather, etc. If we must adjust our itinerary, we will always strive to replace it with an equally excellent experience.
How do you get a visa? We will arrange it for you. We will require a copy of your passport to make arrangements for you.
Why Are Deposits Non-Refundable?
The deposit for your trip is non-refundable because planning and preparations begin as soon as you book. This involves upfront costs and staff work behind the scenes to perfect every detail. The deposit also ensures participant commitment. Since plans can change, we highly recommend travellers have travel insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances.
We use Heymondo; coverage starts from $55 pp (get a 5% discount here).
