THE TEAM
Our Soqotri people
All our team is from Socotra, and we are super proud of it.
Our guides, drivers, helpers, and cooks are islanders.
You will have tons of fun with them! In the same way, we support local commerce and make official stops-over at the women's association where you can buy handicrafts, trusted stores of honey and resins, popular Yemeni sweets, and typical island clothing, especially the 'futah'.
