Hormuz Island, known as the Rainbow Island, is a geological marvel in the Persian Gulf, famed for its vibrant, mineral-rich soils and stunning landscapes. Expect hot and humid weather, making the cooler months (late autumn to early spring) the best time to visit. While independent exploration is possible, hiring a local guide or tuk-tuk is recommended to navigate the island and discover hidden gems. Accessibility can be challenging due to uneven terrain. A day trip is usually sufficient to see the main attractions, and budget travelers can expect to spend around $20-$50, including transportation from Qeshm Island. Be mindful of local customs and dress modestly.
