VISAS PROCEEDURES:

We need you to send us copy of your passports in order to process your visas from here. Once we received the scan of your passport page (the one with photo) we will process the visa and send you a scan of the visa in one to two days. Please bring it with you. The original will be waiting for you upon your arrival to Socotra airport and we will be there to help you. You hand them your passport and the scan of the visa. They will put the visa into your passport if you want and you can as well keep your visa sticker out of your passport (This is optional). You do not need to pay anything at this point. With the passport now provided with a visa and the filled-in "arrival card" you proceed to the immigration and then pick up your luggage. This is when you will meet us at the airport.

 ACCOMODATION OPTIONS:

Most of our itineraries are "ECO" so we strongly suggest to our guests to stay in eco campsites or camping in nature. There are however two eco lodges close to Hadibo: Adeeb and Delisha.and three hotels on Socotra, all of them in Hadibo: two economic hotels  ( Socotra Tourists Hotel and Hafej Hotel). The stay in the hotel is included in the itinerary. 

For some of our clients certain services are indispensable. So if a luxury accomodation is required The Summerland hotel costs $75 single room, $140 double room and $220 suite. Please, let us know if you want to be accommodated at Summerland so we can add it to your itinerary.

COMMUNICATION OPTIONS:

GSM and CDMA mobile phones on Socotra are limited to certain places, and anyway in many places there is no mobile coverage (which some of our visitors find a relief!) BUT: life is life and sometimes you absolutely need to be reachable or to reach someone. In these cases we can provide your guide with a mobile phone which has a sim-card and you can buy the scratch cards to replenish it (to top it up) and use it as you go.

INTERNET OPTIONS:

Mainly you can use internet on Socotra in the capital, Hadibo. It is possible to check your email, etc in our agency office for free, but the connection is sometimes slow. You can eventually use our desktop and connection to check your email. Further, GSM mobile can use internet data in few places on the island apart from Hadiboh.

 ELECTRICITY OPTIONS:

You will have a car charger in your car.

 PAYMENT:

As there is no ATMs services on Socotra, we will expect you to pay for the itinerary and the visa in cash (preferably US dollars or else euros) when you are here in Socotra at the beginning or at the end of your tour. If you do not like to carry cash with you, then you can wire us the totality or part of it, we leave it up to you. The only amount that we NEED to get via wire is the cost of your domestic tickets, as this is outside our accounting system.  We will send you our bank details once you plan to do the transfer.
