DAY 2

DRAGON BLOOD TREES 
You’re in for a magnificent sunrise view over the canyon. And after a slow breakfast, we start the day by driving down the canyon, a difficult and slow road, until we reach the river. Here we can take some time to swim and refresh.

CAMELS IN THE DESERT 
We will make our way down to the South. Our first stop today is Aomak, a beautiful pristine beach. Go for a little walk or relax in the sun. For our second stop, we’ll head up to explore the mighty Degub cave. Witness spectacular ocean views straight from the cave. Don’t forget to explore the other chambers and tunnels as well.

THE WHITE CANYON 
On the morning drive we’ll pass several traditional Bedouin villages and endemic Bottle Trees. After a refreshing dip in Difarhu Wadi – the longest wadi in Socotra, we’ll have lunch in the shadow of numerous palm trees and enjoy the Egyptian vultures fight over the scraps.
Then it’s finally time to discover the famous Kaleesan canyon, nicknamed the ‘white canyon’. Are you ready to be amazed by the pure white rocks and the azure-blue water? Take your swimming shorts, because jumping in is the best part!
Dinner and overnight at the hotel in Hadibo.

DAY 5

MAJESTIC WHITE DUNES 
If there is one sunrise you shouldn’t miss in Socotra, it’s this one. Climb on the huge sand dunes of Arher and enjoy a sunrise you’ll never forget! After breakfast you can go for a little swim.
Then we’ll have to explore Hoq cave, where we can find some inscriptions from the 1st-6th century AD. The limestone cave is 2km deep and has its own micro climate with endemic troglobites.
In the afternoon we’ll explore Dihamri, a marine protected area with an abundance of fish and colorful reef structures. The ideal place for some snorkeling (included) or scuba diving (upon request).

DAY 6

THE NATURAL POOL and WONDERS OF THE BLUE LAGOON 
After breakfast, pack your bags and put on your swimming wear and hiking shoes because we will head to the protected area of Homhill, which is home to an endless number of the Socotri endemic plants such as Dragon’s blood tree, Frankincense, Desert rose trees, etc. It’s about 1-hour drive from Arher and 30 minutes of walk along a selection of trails, one of which takes us to a viewpoint where there is a natural swimming pool and a view of villages below on the plain and of the Arabian Sea.
After Homhil, we will head to another exciting area (WONDERS OF THE BLUE LAGOON), we’re off to the most famous spot of the island, Detwah Lagoon. This beautiful blue lagoon offers an unreal contrast between the white sand and the blue water, during high tide. And at low tide you can see some incredibly cool reflections.
Let’s explore the area and climb the mountain next to the lagoon as well, to find some Bottle Trees and enjoy the magnificent sunset view on Detwahlagoon. Dinner and overnight at the hotel in Hadibo.

DAY 7

THE GOLDEN BEACH 
Sunrise at Detwah lagoon is a marvel as well. Stroll around on the sand banks or dip your feet in the shallow water. Nothing compares … honestly.
After a lazy morning, we’re off to Shoab, nicknamed the ‘golden beach’. From the boat, we’ll see many impressive rock structures and we’ll be greeted by the spinner dolphins hanging around this area. If you’re lucky and the dolphins feel like it, you can even greet them in the water.
Shoab beach is ideal to chill on the beach, go for a swim and just enjoy the views … After a chill beach day. Drive along the coastal road to the capital city Hadibu to your hotel.

DAY 8- TILL WE SEE YOU AGAIN!

After breakfast, around 8 am, a quick tour of the market and the gift store for souvenir shopping in Hadibo. Then, we will drop you at Socotra airport to catch your flight back to Abu Dhabi.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries and there…
