Hormuz island is one of the most wonderful natural sites of Iran. Its colorful landscapes, with its red sand beach, are simply uniques. The best way to visit the island is to rent a bike. There's one main road which circles around the island and allows you to discover all the attractions of the island. But be aware that it requires a good physical conditions and it's not always an easy ride due to the uphill slopes. Even by taking your time, you can visit the island like this on a day. It's also possible to rent a motorcycle or have a driver with a rickshaw. You can choose to spend the night on the island, as there are some guesthouses. It's not necessary though. One of the best way to visit the island is when leaving Qeshm. There's a ferry leaving Qeshm for Hormuz early in the morning (around 7AM) and later, a ferry from Hormuz to Bandar Abbas (the last ferry is around 7PM and can be quite crowded), from where you can easily take a bus or a flight for anywhere in Iran.
