Is the Andaman Islands for you?

The Andamans feel further away than they are. Fly into Port Blair, take a catamaran across, and the islands are forest-green to the edge of the sand, with water clear enough to see the reef from the boat.

Swaraj Dweep (Havelock) is the heart of it — Radhanagar Beach, Elephant Beach's reef and most of the best resorts. Shaheed Dweep (Neil) is smaller and slower, with a natural rock bridge and quiet village beaches. Port Blair has the Cellular Jail and its sound-and-light show, and is where every trip begins and ends.

Perfect for

  • Honeymoons
  • Families
  • First-time divers
  • Travellers from India

Don't miss

  • Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7), Havelock — often ranked among Asia's best beaches
  • Snorkelling and glass-bottom boats at Elephant Beach
  • Scuba diving for beginners and certified divers around Havelock and Neil
  • The natural rock bridge and tide pools on Neil
  • Cellular Jail and its sound-and-light show, Port Blair

Good to know

  • Ferries sail in daylight and depend on the sea, so we keep a night in Port Blair at the end when your flight leaves early.
  • Indian nationals need no passport. Foreign visitors need an Indian visa; we check the current permit rules for the islands on your route.
  • Mobile signal and internet are patchy on Havelock and Neil — part of the appeal for most people.
