2-week itineraries provide guests witht invaluable opportunity of digging deeper and better appreciateing Socotra's human and non-human inhabitants, and it's distinct geography. Such itineraries usually include a more active element such as multi-day treks, other activities, or more time spent in single locations. This allows guests to better grasp the pace and texture of life in Socotra, as well as visit novel and less explored parts of the island.

Even more-so than 2-week itineraries, longer stays give guests a taste of what integration and inhabitation on Socotra can feel like. Unfortunately, tourist visas only permit foreign guests to stay on Socotra for a maximum of 30 days. Yet, in this time, Socotra can be explored quite thoroughly giving one the chance to really begin to understand the extent Socotra's natural and cultural complexity.
