INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS

Boat
Leaving Kish by boat can be ridiculously bureaucratic and services are unpredictable -
flying is a much more attractive option.
In calm conditions, open speedboats travel to/from Bandar-e Charak (one way US$11,
30 to 45 minutes); boats to Bandar-e Aftab were suspended at the time of writing. From
Kish's port, these leave between 8am and 4pm depending on weather conditions and pas-
senger numbers.
Valfajre-8 ( 442 1767; http://valfajr.ir ; Kish Shipping Building, Sanaee St) operates
catamarans linking Kish with Bandar-e Lengeh (one way US$19, two hours) - but only
when Kish is busy enough to warrant it. This means there can be as many as six packed
boats (with families in tents on deck) per day during No Ruz, but no services at all just a
few weeks later. When they operate, catamarans leave in the morning (returning from
Lengeh at 1pm).
