Arriving in Qeshm in the morning. Nadiatrip’s tour director welcomes you at Qeshm international airport.
Drive to Qeshm island, the biggest island in Persian Gulf. Qeshm is fringed with biologically diverse mangrove forests, attractive beaches and 60 Bandari villages. Its sun-scorched interior features geologically significant canyons, hills, caves and valleys, most of which are protected as part of the Unesco-recognised Qeshm Island Geopark – bliss for nature-lovers.
Qeshm is a duty-free zone, but in a gulf increasingly full of gleaming skyscrapers it remains refreshingly attached to the age-old Bandari way of life. If you're after an authentic island experience, Qeshm won't disappoint. Here, locals wear traditional dress, live in houses cooled by badgirs (wind towers) and work in boat-building yards turning out lenges, the large wooden cargo boats that have criss-crossed the gulf for centuries.
The island has an abundance of wildlife, including birds, reptiles, dolphins and turtles.

After lunch take a boat to Hara Marine Forests (Mangrove Jungle). It’s a vast mangrove tree forest which houses a majority of Migratory birds in cold season. The "Hara Protected Area" is a biosphere reserve where commercial use is restricted to fishing (mainly shrimp). Bird life includes herons, flamingos, pelicans, and angler eagles
The mangroves are rooted in the salt water of the Persian Gulf, but the filtration system of the bark extracts the salt, allowing sweet water to reach the leaves.
Sea turtles, crabs, shrimp, snakes, herons, cranes, and pelicans are among the animals that call this forest home.
On the way back to Qeshm Island we have a small village which is called Laft village. The beautiful historical port town on the northern side of the Qeshm island with so many wind towers, an ancient Persian architectural structure used to create natural ventilation. ancient water reservoirs also exist there to store clean water and are still use by locals nowadays.
Near from the village, not far from the wells and water reservoirs we will visit a ship-building yard. UNESCO has inscribed the art of building lenj, small, wooden boats, on its Intangible Cultural UNESCO Heritage list, and the best place to catch a glimpse is exactly here. These fishing boats are in different phases of construction, being painted, or setting out on their maiden voyage
