The “Rainbow Island” of Hormuz has earned its nickname from the many colours of the surrounding waters due to high concentration of iron oxides and the darker sand below which makes the waves take on intense red hues.
The smallest of the Iranian islands along the Hormuz Strait at mere 42 square kilometres makes Hormuz the wildest and least populated of the chain with some of the most pristine beaches around! The entire reservoir of the island is salty due to high humidity and lack of rainfall with the only fresh water pumped from nearby Bandar Abbas. Lucky for Hormuz this water has fed the growing white mangroves and Hara trees in such a harsh climate.
With such high concentrations of salt, the island is filled with such curiosities and formations throughout, from salt caves with odd formations, landscapes of colourful red slopes, and the flagship of Rainbow Valley with its hills of intense reds, oranges, and yellows covered with an efflorescence of salt. With such a mosaic of colours you’ll think you’re in a fairy tale!
Nature plays the artist, and the locals have a style for names with the Saffron River Valley, Snowy Mountains, and Turquoise Goddess just a few of our many stops. With such an artistic flair the island even has a sand painting festival, we’ll surely see their works in coloured sand on the slopes.
Life on the island, especially for its 7000 inhabitants, still follows the patterns of tradition, speaking a mix of Farsi, Hindi, Arabic, and English. We’ll wander the labyrinth of streets with stops at the 16th century Portuguese fortress Ghal’e-ye Portoghaliha and the “Presence of Hormuz” with its multi-coloured domes.
To reach the island we travel to mainland Iran on direct flight to Bandar Abbas where we’ll catch a glimpse of the city and nearby Khorasan.
We invite you to open the next unknown chapter of Iran!
