Andaman Tour Packages

Imagine stepping onto powder-white sands where turquoise waters kiss the shoreline, surrounded by lush tropical rainforests and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India's best-kept secret offer an escape unlike any other. Whether you're seeking a romantic honeymoon retreat, an adrenaline-pumping adventure, or a serene family vacation, our curated Andaman tour packages promise memories that last a lifetime. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are unlike any other destination in India. Situated deep in the Bay of Bengal, nearly 1,300 kilometres from the Indian mainland, the archipelago combines tropical rainforest, white-sand beaches, coral reefs, turquoise water, colonial history, marine wildlife, and remote island landscapes in a way that no mainland destination can replicate.

For some travellers, Andaman is about beaches- Radhanagar Beach on Havelock Island remains one of the finest beaches in Asia, with powder-white sand, calm turquoise water, and sunsets over the open Andaman Sea. For others, it is about marine life, scuba diving with sea turtles, snorkelling above coral reefs, kayaking through mangrove forests, and watching bioluminescent plankton at night. The islands also hold layers of history, the Cellular Jail at Port Blair, Ross Island's British ruins, and the stories of India's freedom movement are deeply woven into the Andaman experience.

Unlike Goa, the Andamans are not party islands. Unlike Kerala, they are not backwater destinations. And unlike Lakshadweep, the scale and diversity of experiences here are much greater from remote wildlife zones in Diglipur to surf breaks in Little Andaman and diving expeditions around Barren Island.

Top Tourist Attractions to Explore in Andaman Tour Packages

1. Port Blair- History, Harbour, and the Cellular Jail

Port Blair is the capital of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, a port city of 100,000 people on the eastern coast of South Andaman Island, the entry point for every visitor to the archipelago by air and the hub for inter-island ferries. It carries a weight of history that is immediately apparent: the Cellular Jail, built by the British between 1896 and 1906 on a peninsula overlooking the harbour, was India's most feared colonial prison, a place where freedom fighters including Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Batukeshwar Dutt, and Yogendra Shukla were imprisoned in solitary cells designed to break the will. The seven radiating wings, the gallows room, and the sound-and-light show narrated by Om Puri that runs every evening in the jail courtyard, create one of the most emotionally charged heritage experiences in India. Port Blair's Ross Island, the former headquarters of British administration, now an atmospheric ruin of collapsed buildings overtaken by tree roots, and Viper Island (the original penal colony before the Cellular Jail) add layers to a colonial history that the rest of the archipelago's beaches tend to obscure.

Best Time to Visit- October to May (calm sea, all islands accessible) • November to February (finest weather, peak season) • December to January (Christmas and New Year on the islands — atmospheric but crowded) • avoid June to September (monsoon rough sea, inter-island ferries suspended, outdoor activities limited)

Places to Visit- Cellular Jail • Ross Island • Viper Island • Anthropological Museum • Chatham Saw Mill • Corbyn's Cove • Aberdeen Jetty • Marina Park • Samudrika Naval Museum

What to Eat- Andaman Fish Curry (coconut-based, distinctly different from mainland Indian fish curry, the local red snapper and grouper are exceptional) • Mud Crab preparations (the Andaman mud crab is the finest in India) • Prawn Masala • New Lighthouse Restaurant on Aberdeen Bazaar (the island institution for seafood) • South Indian Thali at the local restaurants • Fresh coconut water

Top Things to Do

• Cellular Jail morning visit and evening sound-and-light show- book the light show in advance; the narration by Om Puri reconstructs the prison's history with extraordinary power.
• Ross Island (now Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island)- 30-minute ferry from Aberdeen Jetty; the ruins of the British headquarters overtaken by fig tree roots and spotted deer.
• Viper Island- the original penal settlement predating the Cellular Jail; the gallows and the solitary confinement cells are older and rawer than the Cellular Jail.
• Anthropological Museum- the finest collection on the Andaman's indigenous tribal cultures (Jarawa, Sentinelese, Onge, Great Andamanese); essential context before visiting the outer. islands.
• Chatham Saw Mill- Asia's oldest operational sawmill, on a tidal island connected to Port Blair by a bridge; the timber history of the Andamans is told here.
• Corbyn's Cove sunset- the closest swimmable beach to Port Blair, 8 km from the city; best at sunset when the light on the Bay of Bengal is extraordinary.

2. Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)- Radhanagar and the Best Beach in Asia

Havelock Island officially renamed Swaraj Dweep in 2018 but universally known by its colonial name is the destination that defines Andaman tourism for most visitors. Time magazine named Radhanagar Beach on Havelock's western coast as Asia's Best Beach in 2004, and the two decades since have done nothing to diminish that assessment: the 2-kilometre crescent of white sand, backed by dense forest and facing the open Andaman Sea, with water that shifts from turquoise at the shore to deep blue at the reef edge, and sunsets that colour the entire sky in layered oranges and reds, remains one of the finest beaches in the world by any measure. Havelock is also the diving capital of the Andamans, Elephant Beach to the north has the most accessible and most colourful shallow reef in the archipelago, and the dive sites around the island's perimeter (including the famous Lighthouse dive at 30 metres) offer a diversity of marine life that includes sea turtles, leopard sharks, schools of batfish, and the occasional manta ray.

Best Time to Visit- October to May (sea calm, diving and snorkelling operational) • November to February (finest visibility, calmest water) • December (peak — beautiful weather but crowded, book 3 months ahead) • avoid June to September (monsoon ferries irregular, sea rough, water sports suspended)

Places to Visit- Radhanagar Beach (Beach 7) • Elephant Beach • Kalapathar Beach • Beach 3 (Neil's Cove) • Beach 5 • Lighthouse Dive Site • Turtle Bay • Vijayanagar Beach

What to Eat- Full Moon Café (Beach 3 institution excellent seafood, slow service, worth the wait) • Anju-Coco resto (Beach 5, fine fresh catch) • Fat Martin (beachside restaurant, best mud crab on the island) • Fresh tuna sashimi at the dive centres • Andaman lobster (seasonal, expensive but extraordinary) • Coconut-based fish preparations

Top Things to Do

• Radhanagar Beach (Beach 7) at sunset- arrive 90 minutes before sunset for a swim in clear water, then watch the sky turn orange as the sun drops behind the Andaman Sea
• Elephant Beach snorkelling (before 11 AM)-  the shallow reef at Elephant Beach has the most accessible coral garden in the Andamans; arrive before the day-trip boats for clear water
• Scuba diving at Lighthouse (30 m)-  the signature dive site of Havelock; the wall drop and the fish congregation at this depth is the finest in the island's waters
• Sunrise at Kalapathar Beach-  the black volcanic rock beach on the eastern side, completely undeveloped; the sunrise light on the rocks is extraordinary for photography
• Sea turtle snorkelling at Turtle Bay-  a known sea turtle feeding area 10 minutes by boat from Beach 3; sightings are reliable in the early morning
• Night kayaking with bioluminescent plankton- the waters around Havelock have phosphorescent plankton visible on moonless nights; kayaking through it creates trails of blue light

3. Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep)- The Quiet Alternative

Neil Island officially Shaheed Dweep is what Havelock was before mass tourism arrived: a small, relatively flat island of paddy fields, vegetable farms, and four distinct beaches connected by a 4-kilometre road, with a single village in the centre and a total resident population of under 3,000. It is 37 kilometres from Port Blair by ferry and 12 kilometres from Havelock, making it the easiest island to include in a multi-island circuit. Neil's four beaches  Bharatpur (coral garden at the jetty), Laxmanpur (the finest sunset beach, with a natural rock bridge), Sitapur (sunrise, entirely undeveloped), and Ram Nagar (quiet, sheltered, almost never crowded) give four completely different sea experiences within an hour's bicycle ride of each other. The island's pace is completely different from Havelock: there are no nightclubs, no organised water sports operations with touts, and the loudest sound at midnight is the sea.

Best Time to Visit- October to May (sea calm, ferries regular) • November to February (finest water clarity, ideal beach weather) • December to January- Neil is considerably less crowded than Havelock in peak season, making it the better choice for travellers who dislike crowds

Places to Visit- Bharatpur Beach • Laxmanpur Beach • Sitapur Beach • Ram Nagar Beach • Natural Rock Bridge • Neil Island Village • Neil Kendra Jetty

What to Eat- Chand Restaurant (village institution fresh catch prepared to order, very simple but excellent) • Garden of Kalam (rooftop restaurant with views) • Daily fresh catch from the Neil jetty market • Tuna preparations • Coconut crab when in season • Local coconut and banana from the island farms

Top Things to Do

• Natural rock bridge at Laxmanpur (sunset)- the eroded coral rock arch on the beach is best at sunset; arrive 30 minutes before for the finest light
• Bharatpur Beach snorkelling (morning)- the coral garden at the jetty end of Bharatpur is the finest easy snorkelling on Neil; best before 10 AM
• Sitapur Beach sunrise- the completely undeveloped eastern beach; the sunrise over the Andaman Sea from a beach with no other people is the finest morning experience on Neil
• Island bicycle circuit (4 hours)-  rent a bicycle from the village and ride the full island, stopping at all four beaches; the paddy fields and vegetable farms in the interior are unexpectedly beautiful
• Glass-bottom boat to the outer reef- the reef around Neil's northern tip is accessible only by boat; the glass-bottom gives non-snorkellers a view of the coral
• Village evening walk- the Neil Island village has a handful of remarkable small restaurants and a night market of local produce; completely without the tourist infrastructure of Havelock

4. Baratang Island- Mangroves, Limestone Caves, and Mud Volcanoes

Baratang Island lies 100 kilometres north of Port Blair, accessible via a journey that is itself half the experience: the convoy system through the Jarawa Tribal Reserve where vehicles travel in groups through 50 kilometres of primary tropical forest that is one of the last habitats of the Jarawa tribe (one of the world's few remaining uncontacted peoples) is one of the most extraordinary road journeys in India, passing through a forest so dense and so deliberately protected that even stopping is prohibited. At Baratang, a motorised boat ride through dense mangrove channels leads to the limestone caves extraordinary white-stalactite formations in a cave system that receives almost no light and must be entered by wading through knee-deep water in near-darkness. The mud volcanoes at Baratang rare geological features that emit cold mud rather than magma are the only ones in South Asia and are a short walk through more forest from the caves. The entire Baratang experience, from Port Blair and back, takes a full day and is unlike anything else in the Andamans.

Best Time to Visit- October to May (convoy operational, caves accessible) • November to March (finest wildlife in the reserve, caves not flooded) • avoid June to September (monsoon convoy suspended when sea is too rough, caves may flood)

Places to Visit- Baratang Island • Jarawa Tribal Reserve • Limestone Caves • Mud Volcanoes • Mangrove Channels • Parrot Island • Nilambur Jetty

What to Eat- Baratang has very limited food options carry packed food from Port Blair • Simple chai and snacks at the cave jetty • The island has a small dhaba near the jetty for basic rice and fish • Eat dinner back in Port Blair

Top Things to Do

• Jarawa Reserve convoy (4:30 AM departure)- the 50-km drive through primary forest is strictly timed; no stopping, no photography of Jarawa people if seen
• Mangrove boat ride (45 minutes each way)- through narrow tidal channels to reach the limestone caves; saltwater crocodiles, kingfishers, and hornbills in the mangroves
• Limestone caves -wade through knee-deep water in near-darkness to reach the central chamber; the white stalactite formations are extraordinary
• Mud volcanoes (1.5 km walk from the jetty)- the only cold mud volcanoes in South Asia; the bubbling grey mud and the surrounding forest are completely unlike anything elsewhere in the Andamans
• Parrot Island (en route, at dusk)- a small island near Baratang where thousands of parakeets roost each evening; the 15-minute display at sunset is extraordinary
• Return convoy drive at dusk-  the forest in the late afternoon light, with the convoy headlights creating moving pools of illumination through the canopy

5. North Bay Island & Cinque Island- Snorkelling and Glass-Bottom Boats

North Bay Island and Cinque Island are Port Blair's two most-visited day excursion destinations completely different in character but equally important in the Andaman tourism picture. North Bay, 15 minutes by speedboat from Port Blair harbour, is the most accessible snorkelling site in the archipelago: a circular reef with a shallow inner lagoon, operated by the government tourism department with glass-bottom boats, semi-submersibles, and snorkelling gear, making it the entry point for most first-time visitors to Andaman waters. Cinque Island actually two islands (North Cinque and South Cinque) connected by a sand bar at low tide is the most pristine reef system accessible as a day trip from Port Blair, 48 kilometres south of the city. The coral gardens around Cinque are significantly healthier than North Bay and the depth of marine life (sea turtles, nurse sharks, Napoleon wrasse, and schools of snapper) reflects its relatively protected status as part of the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park.

Best Time to Visit- October to May (sea calm enough for day trips) • November to February (finest visibility) • Cinque Island is closed to visitors during monsoon (June to September) • North Bay is sometimes accessible in calmer monsoon periods but marine life visibility is poor

Places to Visit- North Bay Island • Cinque Island (North and South) • Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park • Wandoor Beach (embarkation for Cinque)

What to Eat- North Bay has a government canteen chai and basic snacks • Cinque Island: pack food from Port Blair, no facilities on the island • Wandoor Beach has a small restaurant near the embarkation point • Return to Port Blair for the main meal.

Top Things to Do

• Cinque Island snorkelling (north and south reef sections)- the healthiest coral accessible as a day trip from Port Blair; nurse sharks and sea turtles are regular sightings
• Sand bar picnic between North and South Cinque (low tide)- the sand bar connecting the two islands appears at low tide; sitting on it surrounded by sea in all directions
• North Bay glass-bottom boat- for non-swimmers or families with small children; the glass-bottom gives a clear view of the coral and fish without getting wet
• North Bay introductory scuba dive- the shallow, calm conditions make North Bay the best location for a first ever scuba experience
• Snorkelling at North Bay's inner reef- the shallow section has high fish density even if the coral is less spectacular than Cinque
• Sea walking at North Bay- a helmet diving experience that allows non-swimmers to walk on the seabed in 3–4 metres of water; popular with families

6. Diglipur & North Andaman- Turtle Nesting and the Archipelago's Roof

Diglipur is the largest town in North Andaman and the gateway to the most remote and wildlife-rich section of the main island group, a 300-kilometre drive from Port Blair (or a 12-hour government ferry) through the full length of South and Middle Andaman. The journey north is itself a kind of pilgrimage: the road passes through dense tropical forest, over numerous bridges across tidal creeks, and through the buffer zone of the Jarawa Reserve. At the end of it, Diglipur offers experiences unavailable anywhere else in the Andamans: the Saddle Peak (737 metres, the highest point in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands) trek through endemic forest; the Ross and Smith Islands (two uninhabited islands connected by a natural sand bar, accessible by boat, one of the finest beaches in the archipelago); and the Kalipur Beach, where Olive Ridley and Leatherback sea turtles nest between December and March in one of the most significant nesting events in the Bay of Bengal.

Best Time to Visit- October to May (roads and ferries operational) • December to March (sea turtle nesting season at Kalipur, the primary reason most travellers come) • November to February for Saddle Peak trekking (dry and clear)

Places to Visit- Kalipur Beach • Ross and Smith Islands • Saddle Peak • Aerial Bay Jetty • Alfred Caves • Lamiya Bay • Ram Nagar Beach (Diglipur) • Ramnagar Rest House

What to Eat- Diglipur town restaurants (simple but good, fresh catch from the Aerial Bay fishing boats, coconut-based preparations) • Government rest house canteen • Forest department camp meals during the turtle watching night • South Indian Thali at the local hotels • Fresh coconut from the roadside stalls on the drive

Top Things to Do

• Kalipur Beach turtle nesting watch (December to March)- Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles nest at night; forest department guides lead nocturnal watching sessions (no torches, no disturbance)
• Ross and Smith Islands sand bar (boat from Aerial Bay)- two uninhabited islands connected by a sand bar; the walk across the bar with sea on both sides is extraordinary
• Saddle Peak trek (737 m, 6–8 hours)- the highest point in the Andamans through endemic forest; Andaman pig, Andaman woodpecker, and crested serpent eagle in the canopy
• Lamiya Bay snorkelling-  a largely undiscovered snorkelling site 8 km from Diglipur with coral quality comparable to Havelock's outer reefs
• Alfred Caves (limestone)- smaller than Baratang but less visited, accessible by boat from Diglipur; the cave opens onto a narrow beach
• Drive from Port Blair- the 300 km road journey through the Andaman spine is itself an experience; the forest, the bridges, and the occasional sea view compose one of India's finest drives

7. Little Andaman- Surfing, Waterfalls, and Elephant Beach

Little Andaman lies 120 kilometres south of Port Blair — a 6-hour government ferry journey that delivers travellers to an island almost entirely unlike the rest of the archipelago. Where the main Andaman chain is forested and mountainous, Little Andaman is flat, covered in dense tropical rainforest, bisected by the Butler Bay beach (a 9-kilometre unbroken stretch of sand that is the longest beach in the Andamans), and surrounded by surf breaks that have attracted attention from the international surfing community as one of India's finest, the waves at Butler Bay and the Hut Bay side breaks are consistent, powerful, and largely uncrowded. The White Surf and Whisper Wave falls, two waterfalls that drop directly into the sea on the island's western coast, are accessible by boat from Hut Bay and produce the unusual spectacle of fresh water meeting the sea in a single dramatic curtain.

Best Time to Visit- November to March (best surf northeast monsoon produces consistent 2–4 metre waves at Butler Bay) • October to May (general access, waterfalls operational) • June to September (monsoon ferry service reduced, very rough sea, but experienced surfers sometimes visit for the biggest swell)

Places to Visit- Butler Bay Beach • Hut Bay • White Surf Waterfall • Whisper Wave Waterfall • Elephant Point • Little Andaman Lighthouse • Netaji Nagar

What to Eat- Hut Bay town restaurants (small, family-run, excellent fresh fish) • Basic government rest house catering • Fresh coconut and banana from the island's farms • Carry provisions from Port Blair options are limited on the island • Post-surf seafood at the beach shacks near Butler Bay

Top Things to Do

• Butler Bay surfing- the 9-kilometre beach break is India's most consistent surf; lessons and board hire available from the island's surf school
• White Surf Waterfall (boat excursion)- the waterfall dropping directly into the sea, accessible by boat from Hut Bay; best in the morning when the light enters the falls
• Whisper Wave Waterfall (boat excursion)- similar to White Surf but in a more sheltered cove; the boat can enter the cove directly below the falls
• Saltwater crocodile creek tour (dusk)- the inland waterways of Little Andaman have a significant saltwater crocodile population; guided dusk boat tours produce regular sightings
• Butler Bay beach walk (9 km)- the longest uninterrupted beach in the Andamans; the northern end near the creek mouth is excellent for shorebird watching
• Elephant Point beach- the far northern section of the island accessible only by boat, with coral snorkelling in water that receives very few visitors

8. Long Island- The Undiscovered Andaman

Long Island sits between South and Middle Andaman, 90 kilometres north of Port Blair by boat, and represents the Andaman experience that most tourists even those who consider themselves adventurous never find. The island has a population of approximately 2,500, one government rest house, a handful of village homestays, and three beaches: Lalaji Bay (accessible only by boat or a 45-minute forest trek, one of the finest undeveloped beaches in the Andamans), Guitar Island (a day-trip islet named for its shape, with a shallow reef), and Merk Bay (the island's main beach, calm and swimmable). What Long Island lacks in infrastructure it more than compensates for in solitude — the beaches here are almost entirely empty even in peak season, the forest walks are through primary tropical vegetation, and the fishing village gives a glimpse into Andaman life that the resort islands have largely erased.

Best Time to Visit- October to May (ferries operational) • November to February (finest beach weather, clearest snorkelling) • Ferry schedule to Long Island is the critical constraint — plan around it

Places to Visit- Merk Bay • Lalaji Bay • Guitar Island • Long Island Jetty • Long Island Village • Forest Trail to Lalaji Bay.

What to Eat- Government rest house basic meals (dal, rice, fish curry simple but enough) • Homestay cooking (the best option — local families prepare fresh catch from the jetty) • Pack provisions from Port Blair for the Lalaji Bay trek • Fresh coconut • No restaurants as such village tea shops only.

Top Things to Do

• Lalaji Bay trek (45 minutes through forest) or boat approach one of the finest undeveloped beaches in the Andamans; bring your own food and water as there are no facilities
• Guitar Island snorkelling day trip (boat from Long Island jetty)- the shallow reef around this tiny islet is excellent; very few other boats visit
• Merk Bay beach morning- the main beach at Long Island, calm and swimmable, completely empty at dawn
• Forest walk in the island interior- the primary tropical forest between Merk Bay and Lalaji Bay has hornbills, megapodes, and the endemic Andaman wild pig
• Fishing village evening- watch the boats return to the jetty, buy fish directly from the fishermen, and arrange for your homestay host to cook it
• Stargazing from Merk Bay- with no resort lighting, Long Island has the darkest skies in the main island group; the Milky Way is clearly visible on moonless nights

9. Andaman Scuba Diving- A Complete Guide to the Dive Sites

The Andaman Sea is one of the finest diving destinations in Asia- a body of water between mainland Southeast Asia and the Andaman archipelago that maintains water temperatures of 26–29°C year-round, visibility between 20 and 40 metres in the best conditions, and a marine biodiversity that includes over 600 species of reef fish, 200 species of coral, hawksbill and green sea turtles, manta rays (seasonal), whale sharks (occasional), nurse sharks, leopard sharks, giant moray eels, and the extraordinary hammerhead shark schools that aggregate at the Barren Island (the only active volcano in South Asia) during February to April. Havelock Island is the diving hub, with over a dozen established dive operators and sites ranging from 5 to 35 metres depth. Barren Island, 135 kilometres east of Port Blair, is accessible only by liveaboard and represents the most extraordinary diving in Indian waters.

Best Time to Visit- October to May (diving season) • November to February (finest visibility, 30–40 metres) • February to April (hammerhead sharks at Barren Island, manta rays at the outer atolls) • June to September (monsoon — diving suspended at most sites due to surge and visibility)

Places to Visit- Lighthouse (Havelock) • Elephant Beach Reef • Minerva Ledge • Jackson's Bar • Barren Island • Cinque Island Wall • North Bay • Dixon's Pinnacle • Aquarium (Havelock)

What to Eat- Post-dive nutrition is critical our dive centres serve calorie-dense meals after every dive day • Fresh Andaman tuna and snapper • Coconut water for rehydration • Full Moon Café and Anju-Coco at Havelock for evening meals • No alcohol within 12 hours of diving

Top Things to Do

• Barren Island liveaboard dive (2 nights)- hammerhead sharks, the active volcano above the surface, and the most extraordinary underwater landscape in Indian waters
• Lighthouse dive (Havelock, 30 m)- the signature Andaman dive; the wall drop and the fish congregation including grouper, snapper, and occasional nurse sharks
• Minerva Ledge (Havelock, 25 m)- the barracuda tornado- a cyclone of thousands of barracuda- is one of the most dramatic wildlife experiences in India
• Jackson's Bar (Havelock, 18 m)- the leopard shark resting site; sleeping leopard sharks on the sandy bottom are visible on virtually every dive
• PADI Open Water certification (3 days at Havelock)- the Havelock lagoon is a perfect certification environment; visibility and conditions are ideal for learning
• Manta Ray dive (February to April, outer sites)- the seasonal manta ray aggregation is the most sought-after Andaman dive; we monitor sites and design itineraries around confirmed sightings

Adventure Activities in Andaman

Another popular water sports and outdoor adventure tourism destination in India is the Andaman. The islands are adventured under water because of the clean waters and the abundance of marine life.

1. Scuba Diving- Scuba diving is one of the most popular sports in Andaman. Underwater, travelers get to visit colorful coral reefs, tropical fishes, sea turtles and other aquatic animals. The experience lies well with novices and those who are experienced divers.

2. Snorkeling- Snorkeling will provide travelers an opportunity to explore the undersea world without going too deep into the ocean. It is a playful and simple activity among families, couples as well as amateurs.

3. Sea Walking- Sea walking refers to a special experience whereby passengers are allowed to walk through the sea floor but with a special helmet. It enables the visitors to view marine life at close without necessarily having to swim.

4. Banana Boat rides and Jet Skiing- Numerous popular beaches allow people to have high-speed jet skiing and hazardous banana boat rides. These actions make the Island vacation thrilling and exciting.

5. Glass Bottom Boat Rides- Glass-bottom boat tours provide stunning underwater scenery to tourists who do not wish to enter into the water. Riding in the glass-bottom boat is comfortable and dry.

6. Kayaking Through Mangroves- Another peaceful and scenic activity is kayaking with the forested (mangrove) areas being calm. During the ride, travelers can enjoy nature, silence and stunning landscapes.

7. Island Hopping Experience- Island hopping is one of the best things to do during visiting Andaman. All islands have varying landscapes, attractions, and experiences. The islands are connected with ferry rides, which are scenic and enjoyable, allowing the traveler to see the spectacular scenes of the ocean in between.

The most visited islands in an Andaman trip are Swaraj Dweep, Shaheed Dweep, Port Blair, Ross Island and North Bay. Beaches and water sports are characteristic of some islands but history and natural beauty of those islands are well known. Since the Andaman archipelago is diverse and beautiful in nature, island hopping will enable the travelers to explore its natural beauty.

Andaman Permits & Entry Guidelines

Most Indian tourists do not require any special permit to visit popular Andaman Islands like Port Blair, Havelock Island, Neil Island, and Baratang. However, certain restricted or tribal-protected areas may need special permission from local authorities.

Permit Rules for Indian Tourists- Indian citizens can freely visit most tourist destinations in Andaman without permits.

Permit Rules for Foreign Nationals- Foreign tourists usually receive a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) on arrival at Port Blair Airport or seaport. The permit is generally issued free of cost.

Restricted & Protected Areas- Some islands and tribal reserve zones are restricted for tourism to protect indigenous communities and the environment. Entry without permission is strictly prohibited.

Best Time to Plan Your Andaman Tour

Andaman and Nicobar Islands can best be visited between October and May. Throughout this period, the weather is good, skies are clear and the sea is calm. The peak season is the best time to sightsee, engage in water sports, island hopping and beach activities.

Early winter and early summer have been particularly popular as the weather is more comfortable. Underwater visibility can also allow the travelers to enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling and boat rides.

Between June and September the islands get monsoon rains. Although it is true that the rain will further turn the islands greener and more serene, weather conditions will likely pose a problem with certain water activities and ferry services. Nevertheless, it is a great time of the year to visit an area with fewer visitors and affordable accommodation.

Whatever the time of the year you go, the islands are always beautiful. Every season brings something new and has its charms.

How to Reach Andaman Islands?

Port Blair is the main entry point to the Andaman & Nicobar Islands and is connected to major Indian cities by regular flights.
