Day 1 — Arrival & First Impressions
Arrival in Socotra and drive to Detwah Lagoon. Turquoise water, white sand, and vast silence — the island immediately feels different.
First swim, first sunset, first taste of life off the grid.
Dinner and overnight camping at Detwah Lagoon.
​
Day 2 — Remote Shores & Dragon’s Blood Trees
We take a boat along the wild coastline to reach Shoab Beach — remote and often completely empty.
After lunch in Wadi Dirhur, we head into the highlands to camp among the iconic Dragon’s Blood Trees — one of Socotra’s most surreal landscapes.
Dinner and overnight in the forest.

Sunset over the dunes. Dinner and overnight at Zhaq camp.
