We all love the Internet! Social media, emails, text messages from loved ones, everything! It keeps us busy and entertained. However, here in Socotra, we enjoy being disconnected. If you need to use the Internet, you should obtain a Etislat SIM card in UAE (super easy you can get them in the airport) and it works in some places here (the “capital” and a few spots here and there)

You may also use our guides hotspot if need be, but we suggest that you use this time to disconnect. Enjoy the surroundings and look up from your phones! That being said, we understand the Necessity for work and keeping in touch with back home for different matters. So if you absolutely need internet, we got you covered (pun intended)

Thank you Thomas Edison and Nicholas Tesla for helping invent electricity, it enables us to live our lives! More specifically, here in Socotra, charge our devices :) We suggest you bring a power bank with you BUT we will have car chargers in the 4×4 Toyota Land Cruisers for you to use (USB-C, iPhone, mini USB) We know pictures, videos and drone shots are important so we make it easy to recharge your devices.

Yes! We recently took our moms here so that should tell you how we feel about the islands safety!

The island of Socotra, due to its remoteness and location, is completely safe for tourists. The island has over 1,500 people visit here every season! It is separated, thankfully, from the political craziness and ambiguity current underway on mainland Yemen*

*Mainland Yemen is a different story. While not as dangerous as the media would portray it to be, Socotra is physically and politically removed from what is going on there

To put it simply, here in Socotra, they don’t mind. UAE is a different story, there the rules and laws change often. Most people that come here and fly through Abu Dhabi, have no issue at customs with the drone. We can’t give you advice on whether or not to bring it, however we can say that if you get it here to Socotra, you can fly anywhere you want (except above private residences and the airport area of course.)

We focus on sustainability within the local community (and we don’t just say that to appear that we care.) We enjoy taking care of our guides/drivers since we know without them we wouldn’t exist. We show our appreciation in many ways including but not limited to: monetarily, a high standard of work/life balance, great work conditions and maintaining a constant and always open line of communication between us and them.

We have an open door policy, we take their suggestions since we understand they usually know best!
