How do I get from Kish to Bandar Abbas and Bandar Lengeh?
Updated:
Ferry plus road
Kish is an island, so the land leg starts at the coast. The two coastal ports Kish Ports operates ferries with are Charak and Aftab; from Charak both the car landing craft and the passenger ferry leave, from Aftab only the landing craft in our data. A direct ferry from Kish to Bandar Abbas or Bandar Lengeh is not in our sources and we claim neither that it exists nor that it does not; only the official portal lists bookable routes.
Charak to Bandar Abbas
Per OSRM (centre of Bandar Abbas to centre of Charak, no traffic or stops, 2026-10-13) it is 278.2 km and about 223 minutes (about 3 h 43 min). Add time for traffic, rest and fuel. A secondary source (1404) puts the landing-craft crossing from Charak at about two hours, and you must be at the port one hour before as a passenger or 30 minutes before with a car; loading can add up to 45 minutes.
Bandar Lengeh
We have not computed the road distance from Charak or Aftab to Bandar Lengeh and give no guessed figure. Terminal coordinates are in each port guide (Charak 26.724162, 54.283713; Aftab 26.717048, 53.925639); enter them in a live navigator with Bandar Lengeh as destination.
With or without a car
Taking your own car needs a landing-craft ticket (secondary 1404 reference round trip about 4,650,000 toman from Charak and 4,200,000 from Aftab; check the portal for today's price). Without a car it is the passenger ferry to Charak and onward by other transport; we found no citable public transport after Charak. Rent a car on the coast side or check flights for intercity travel. AzKish does not rent cars; rentals on Kish go through Kish Rent Car.
