About This Journey
Andaman Port Blair Explorer — Premium
Three nights, built to give Port Blair its due before a short taste of Havelock. You open with the Cellular Jail and its evening Light and Sound Show, then a half-day at Ross Island's colonial ruins, before crossing to Havelock for a day at Radhanagar Beach.
It is the shortest way to combine the islands' history with a real beach day, a good fit for a traveller connecting through Port Blair with only a few days to spare.
- 01
Ross Island in a short trip
Most brief Andaman itineraries skip Ross Island entirely. This one keeps it in, for a real look at the islands' colonial history alongside Cellular Jail.
- 02
A full day at Radhanagar Beach
Despite the short overall length, the itinerary keeps a genuine day at Radhanagar Beach rather than a brief stop en route elsewhere.

Day 2 · 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.
Day 3 · 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.
Also On This Trip — Inter-Island Ferry
Getting Between the Islands
A high-speed catamaran connects the islands on this route, with reserved seating booked as part of your trip.
Port Blair → Havelock Island · Makruzz
Port Blair to Havelock Island Ferry
Makruzz has run high-speed catamaran ferries through the Andamans since 2009 — the largest such fleet in the islands, with three vessels covering more than ten daily connections between Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island. The Port Blair to Havelock crossing takes roughly ninety minutes to two and a half hours depending on the vessel and sea conditions, covering open water between Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair's official name since 2023) and Swaraj Dweep, as Havelock Island is now officially known. Air-conditioned cabins, assigned seating, and an onboard snack counter make the crossing comfortable rather than a logistics chore — for most travellers, this ferry is the only way to reach Havelock's beaches at all.

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.

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.
