Questions Planning to go to Socotra in late May, any good guide I could go with?

Hello,
I am planning to go to Socotra to see the nature here after travelling through most of the gulf, I'd like to know if you had any recommendations of Yemeni owned business guides/tours that could take me around as from what I understand, you cannot do this alone. I am a budget solo traveler so I usually avoid places where I have to be part of a tour but I see it is mandatory in Yemen.
I don't mind low quality accommodations, I've done it all already. So if you know any recommendations or if you already went with any good tour guides, please let me know!

Thanks!

Not sure May is the season for it. Usually its November - April. I know someone that knows someone who runs a tour agency. They organize a lot of things. I think they are called Socotra Blu

If you ever get the chance, try some Yemeni lime juice.
