How do I get from Kish to the mainland or other cities?

Which option fits you?
It depends on whether you have a car and where you are going. The passenger ferry and flights carry people only. A car can only leave the island on the landing craft, which has its own ticket and schedule.
Steps
- No car, destination near the Hormozgan coast: passenger ferry Kish to Charak.
- No car, farther destination or little time: fly from Kish airport.
- Own car: landing craft from Kish to Charak or Aftab.
- Rental cars: ask the rental company in writing before taking one off the island.
Passenger ferry and flights
Official Kish Ports data shows a passenger line between Charak and Kish in both directions. Times can change daily, and the ports authority publishes the status of each departure. We show no fixed ticket price; check the amount on the official portal when you buy.
Kish airport's official site lists live arrivals and departures. Flight service to Kish has fluctuated: a news outlet reported flights resuming on 20 Tir 1405 after a pause of about four months, so confirm your exact flight at the official source.
Steps
- Open today's schedule on AzKish or on the official portal.
- Buy ferry tickets only on the official portal. Be in the passenger hall one hour before departure with valid ID.
- For flights, check the airport's official flight list and buy from an authorised ticket seller.
Taking a car
Cars leave only by landing craft to Charak or Aftab. The official portal asks for the car to be at the port at least 30 minutes before departure, says sailings run only in suitable weather, and warns that loading can delay a departure by up to 45 minutes. Island fines and any stay-limit charges are collected at the Kish port gate on exit.
