Persian Gulf Islands

No deposit, no card — you pay when you're in Iran and everything is agreed.
Rainbow islands, wild dolphins, mangroves and a geological wonderland.
Eight days in the Persian Gulf, which most visitors to Iran never see. Hormuz, where the soil really is red, ochre and violet; Qeshm's geopark canyons, mangrove channels and the wind-towers of Laft; Hengam, where dolphins come in close to the boat; and Kish to finish. Warm water, fresh seafood, and a completely different Iran.
