Best of AndamansAndaman in 6 nights

Our most complete Andaman holiday. Extra time in Port Blair leaves a full day for North Bay's coral and the ruins of Ross Island; then two nights on Havelock and one on Neil. Seven days, with private ferries between the islands.

Day 1

Arrival in Port Blair – Corbyn's Cove & Cellular Jail

Welcome to the Andamans. Our team meets you at Port Blair airport and takes you to your hotel. After a rest, go to Corbyn's Cove, the one beach in Port Blair where you can swim; jet-skis, parasailing and speedboats are there if you want them (paid directly). Then the Cellular Jail, the colonial prison known as Kala Pani (last entry 3:45 pm). Stay for the evening Sound & Light Show, which tells the story of the freedom fighters held here.

• Note: The Sound & Light Show depends on ticket availability; we book it as early as we can.

No meals included today Overnight: Port Blair

Day 2

North Bay & Ross Island Excursion

A day on the water. A shared boat takes you to North Bay, the coral island, for snorkelling, a glass-bottom boat or a sea walk. The same boat goes on to Ross Island, renamed Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Dweep in 2018, where the ruins of the old British headquarters are slowly being taken over by trees, and deer and peacocks wander the paths. The evening is free.

• Note: Activities at North Bay cost extra. The last boat to Ross Island leaves by 2 pm, so this is a morning start.

Breakfast Overnight: Port Blair

Day 3

Port Blair – Havelock & Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7)

A private ferry takes you to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) in 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Our team meets you at the jetty and takes you to your hotel. At about 2:30 to 3:30 pm, go to Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7), once named Asia's best beach by Time magazine: a long curve of white sand backed by forest. Stay for the sunset.

• Note: Breakfast isn't served at Havelock on this day, so ask your Port Blair hotel for a packed one. Carry a valid photo ID for the jetty (a PAN card is not accepted). Alcohol isn't allowed on the ferry.

Breakfast Overnight: Havelock

Day 4

Elephant Beach Excursion, Havelock

A shared boat takes you to Elephant Beach in 30 to 45 minutes. The reef starts close to the shore, so this is one of the best places in the Andamans to try snorkelling, a sea walk or a glass-bottom boat; jet-skis and banana boats are there too (all paid directly). Book activities at the boarding point so you don't miss out; our team helps. After about three hours the boat brings you back, and your car stops at Something Different, a beachside café, for a complimentary drink each: a domestic beer, a mocktail or a soft drink from the set menu. The evening is free.

• Note: Weather permitting. Boats are allotted by the local boat association, so there may be a short wait.

Breakfast Overnight: Havelock

Day 5

Havelock – Neil Island & its Three Beaches

A morning private ferry takes you to Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) in 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Neil is small, flat and unhurried, with three beaches to see: Bharatpur for a swim, Laxmanpur for the sunset, and the Natural Bridge, a rock arch the locals call Howrah Bridge, which you can reach only at low tide. Our team meets you at the jetty, shows you all three and takes you to your hotel.

• Note: The three-beach visit depends on the tide; our team confirms the time on the day.

Breakfast Overnight: Neil Island

Day 6

Neil Island – Port Blair

A slow morning on Neil, known as the vegetable bowl of the Andamans, then the afternoon private ferry back to Port Blair. Our team meets you at the jetty and takes you to your hotel. The evening is free.

• Optional, at extra cost (+ GST): Chidiyatapu sunset point ₹ 3,000 per car · Wandoor Beach ₹ 3,000 per car · Ross Island ₹ 1,000 per car + ₹ 600 per person boat fee

Breakfast Overnight: Port Blair

Day 7

Departure from Port Blair

After breakfast, check out and head to the airport for your flight home. Port Blair airport is small and gets busy, so we leave in good time.

• Note: Please reach the airport at least 1.5 hours before your flight.
