About This is Socotra

Socotra has thousands of tours spread across dozens of booking sites, and the same trip can cost wildly different amounts depending on where you look. We bring those listings together in one place, show you the real price and rating for each, and tell you which platform is cheapest — so you can decide in seconds instead of opening ten tabs. When you’re ready, we hand you off to the operator or platform to complete the booking on their own secure checkout.

Every listing carries a real rating and review count pulled from the platform it’s sold on, and we lead with the experiences travellers actually rate highly and book most. We flag when the identical tour appears on several sites so you can compare prices at a glance, and we keep thin or duplicate listings out of the way. We don’t accept payment to rank an experience higher.

Alongside partner listings you’ll see Originals— experiences we design and stand behind directly, run by licensed local guides and outfitters we’ve checked ourselves. They carry an Original badge so you always know what you’re booking and who’s behind it.

We’re a discovery and comparison platform, not the seller. Prices, availability and cancellation terms belong to the operator or platform you book with, and your booking is a contract with them. Most experiences offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before, with instant confirmation to your phone — but always check the provider’s own terms at checkout. See our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for the detail.

The whole country: Hadibo and the north coast, Detwah Lagoon (Qalansiyah and Qalansiyah), the Diksam highlands and Diksam, the southern coast at Aomak, and the treks and passes of the Haghier. Browse by destination, collection, or read our travel guides to plan the trip.

This is Socotra is part of a small family of independent destination guides built the same way. If your travels also take you further west, our sister site This is Egypt covers the best tours and trips across Egypt.
