An absolutely flawless experience. We felt like royalty from the moment we landed in Delhi until our departure.

Andaman & Nicobar · 8 Days
Andaman Port Blair Explorer
Eight days from Port Blair's history and outer islands through to Havelock and Neil Island's beaches.
Day by Day
8 Days, In Full
Eight days covering the fullest spread of what the Andamans offer. Port Blair opens with Cellular Jail. Ross Island follows, its colonial ruins wrapped in banyan roots. Then comes Baratang Island, reached through the Jarawa Tribal Reserve by escorted convoy. Its mud volcanoes and limestone caves close out the Port Blair leg. A ferry then carries you on to Havelock Island. Radhanagar Beach and Elephant Beach's snorkeling reef fill the days there. The trip closes on Neil Island, the quietest of the three. Its Natural Bridge rock formation and Bharatpur Beach's calm, shallow water round out the trip. Private transfers connect every stop.
Port Blair
Arrival in Port Blair — Cellular Jail & Light and Sound Show
Private airport pickup on arrival in Port Blair, the Andaman Islands' capital. The afternoon centres on Cellular Jail. It was built between 1896 and 1906 to hold India's freedom fighters in solitary cells. It's known as Kala Pani, or black water. Today it stands as a national memorial. Evening brings the jail's Light and Sound show, telling that history after dark. Then it's off to your hotel for the night.

Port Blair
Ross Island — Colonial Ruins & Resident Deer
A short boat ride from Aberdeen Jetty crosses to Ross Island, renamed Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep in 2018. It served as the British administrative headquarters for the Andamans from the 1850s onward. A 1941 earthquake struck the island hard. The Japanese occupation followed soon after, ending that era for good. Old ballrooms, churches, and bungalows still stand here. Banyan roots now wrap through their walls and columns, slowly reclaiming the ruins. Wild deer roam freely across the island's grassy stretches. It's a quiet, atmospheric contrast to Cellular Jail's darker history. The boat returns to Port Blair by early afternoon.
Port Blair
Baratang Island — Mud Volcanoes & Limestone Caves
A full-day trip north to Baratang Island, reached by road through the Jarawa Tribal Reserve in an escorted convoy. Photo ID is mandatory at the checkpoint. Photography inside the reserve itself is strictly forbidden. Beyond the reserve, a short boat ride winds through mangrove creeks to Baratang's limestone caves, shaped over centuries by mineral deposits. Nearby sit India's only active mud volcanoes, low mounds that occasionally bubble and hiss. It's a raw, less-visited side of the islands. The convoy returns to Port Blair by evening.
Port Blair → Havelock Island
Port Blair to Havelock Island — Ferry Crossing
A private ferry crossing to Havelock Island, officially renamed Swaraj Dweep. The trip takes around ninety minutes across open water. Most visitors still use the old name. Check in by early afternoon. The rest of the day is free to settle into the island's slower pace before tomorrow's beach and reef days.
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 → 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.
