Andaman & Nicobar · 8 Days
Andaman Havelock Dive Retreat
Eight days across Havelock Island's dive sites and beaches, Neil Island, closing with Corbyn's Cove in Port Blair.
Day by Day
8 Days, In Full
Eight days that put Havelock Island's water at the centre of the trip. A fast ferry crossing on day one skips Port Blair's sightseeing and lands you on Havelock by afternoon. Radhanagar Beach, Elephant Beach, and a full scuba diving day at sites like Nemo Reef and The Wall fill the days that follow. A ferry then carries you to Neil Island for the Natural Bridge and Bharatpur Beach's calm water, before a final ferry back to Port Blair. The trip closes at Corbyn's Cove Beach ahead of departure.
Port Blair → Havelock Island
Arrival & Fast Transfer to Havelock Island
Private airport pickup on arrival in Port Blair, then straight onto a ferry bound for Havelock Island. This route skips Cellular Jail and the city's other sights, trading them for more time on the water. The crossing takes around ninety minutes by fast ferry. By afternoon you're checked into your Havelock resort, with the rest of the day free to settle in or walk the beach. No fixed schedule — just an early start and a fast finish to Port Blair's arrival formalities.
Havelock Island
Radhanagar Beach — Once Named Asia's Best
A full day at Radhanagar Beach, on Havelock's western shore. Time magazine named it Asia's best beach in 2004, and it has kept its Blue Flag certification for cleanliness and safety since. The sand runs pale and fine, backed by dense island forest that stays green right down to the shoreline. Late afternoon is the best time to be here, as the light turns gold before sunset over the water.
Havelock Island
Elephant Beach — Snorkeling & Reef Diving
A boat ride to Elephant Beach, reachable only by water — there's no road in. The reef just offshore is one of the healthiest in the Andamans, with clear, shallow water that suits first-time snorkellers as well as certified divers. Boat operators provide snorkeling gear as part of the trip. The afternoon is left free for the beach itself, generally quieter than Radhanagar.
Havelock Island
Havelock Scuba Diving — The Andamans' Dive Hub
Havelock Island is the Andamans' main PADI diving hub, and this day is built around it. Dive sites here include Nemo Reef, Tribe Gate, The Wall, and Dixon Pinnacle, each with its own reef structure and marine life. A private dive operator handles equipment and briefing, with options for certified divers and first-timers doing an introductory dive. Two dives is the typical day, with a surface break between them. Non-divers can snorkel the same waters from the boat instead.
Havelock Island → Neil Island
Havelock to Neil Island — Ferry Crossing
A short ferry hop south to Neil Island, renamed Shaheed Dweep in 2018 in honour of India's freedom fighters, taking about an hour. It's the smallest and quietest of the three main islands on this route. Check in by midday, leaving the afternoon free to reach Laxmanpur Beach in time for sunset.
Neil Island
Neil Island — Natural Bridge & Bharatpur Beach
Morning at the Natural Bridge, a limestone rock arch carved by the sea, also known locally as Howrah Bridge. It's best seen at low tide, when the surrounding rock pools are exposed. Bharatpur Beach fills the rest of the day — shallow, calm water that makes it one of the easiest beaches on the islands for swimming. Neil Island has no real nightlife, which is exactly the point after the busier stops earlier in the trip.
Neil Island → Port Blair
Neil Island to Port Blair
A ferry back to Port Blair, roughly two hours via Havelock. You'll arrive in the early afternoon. The rest of the day is unscheduled. It's a good chance to revisit Cellular Jail's museum galleries at a slower pace, or simply rest before the final day.
Port Blair
Corbyn's Cove Beach & Departure
A short drive from the city to Corbyn's Cove, Port Blair's own beach and the most convenient stretch of sand for a final morning. Jet skiing, banana boat rides, and glass-bottomed boat trips are all available for anyone not ready to stop yet. The rest of the day is timed around your departure flight.
