[2025 Qeshm Island Attraction] Travel Guide for Stars Valley, Qeshm (Updated Aug)

#Qeshm

| Trip to Iran.💕 The reason to go to Qeshm Island is simple, to catch a glimpse of the Persian Gulf. As the largest island in Iran, the only way to explore Qeshm Island is to rent a car. Moreover, it is one of the hottest regions in Iran. What to see? 1⃣Stars Valley Stars Valley, locals believe it was formed by a fallen star, and the place is as charming as the legend. Personally, Stars Valley is the most worthwhile and interesting attraction. The unique landscape formed by erosion is not only photogenic but also suitable for exploration, and it takes at least an hour to complete the tour. 2⃣Chahkooh Canyon Chahkooh Canyon, also formed by tectonic movements and rainwater erosion, is characterized by densely packed holes and grooves in the canyon walls, and there are water storage wells at the bottom of the canyon. Ancients believed the water here had healing properties, and you can try it now if you wish. Drivers usually won't let you stay for long, taking photos is no problem, but I think it's not enough for a deep visit. If you like climbing or hiking, it's best to drive yourself. 3⃣Salt Cave Of Qeshm Due to the distance, difficulty of driving, and factors of cost and time, we didn't make it to this spot (as far from the city center as Chahkooh Canyon, about sixty to seventy kilometers), even so, we returned to the city center by 17:00, so I'm glad that we saw many salt caves on Hormuz Island as a consolation. Besides the three main attractions, we also went on boat tours for dolphin and fish watching (this is where you see dolphins, although I don't think you can see them in the afternoon, and there are also seasonal factors), visited the mangroves, but were too tired to stay long. Lunch was at a restaurant رستوران خانگی حجله کُوَرزین recommended by the driver, where the camel meat tasted very good. 💰About the car rental price We were three people sharing a car, and finally booked at the hotel for 26 million rials including entrance fees to attractions (some attractions require tickets, and drivers are likely to charge local prices or other methods). You can usually choose four or five attractions (excluding Salt Cave), and we actually visited Stars Valley/Chahkooh Canyon/watching dolphins/mangroves. The whole trip was from 8:30 in the morning until 17:00 in the afternoon, and the visits were quite rushed, so don't be too greedy, just pick a few you want to go to. ✏tips 🔺I asked for prices on the road, $30 without Chahkooh and Salt Cave, $40 without Salt Cave, $60 to go to Salt Cave (tickets not discussed) 🔺Boat trip out to sea was 1.8 million rials, and a deal was made for 5 million for three people

This is Hormuz Island in Iran Hormuz Island is composed of various rocks. Not only is the sea water peculiar, Even the sand is colorful, so it is also called Rainbow Island and Seven Colors Island!
