Andaman Family Itinerary: 6 Days with Kids

An Andaman family itinerary works best with two or three bases and a lot of beach time. Six days with kids covers Port Blair, Havelock and Neil without too many ferry changes.

This plan keeps the days light and the ferries sensible.

Ferry timings change with weather and operators. Confirm before you go.

Why it suits families

Each island has one main outing a day, and beach time follows. Ferries are limited to three, which keeps the transfers manageable. See the ferry guide.
