About This Journey
Andaman Snorkelling & Reefs — Premium
The same three-night route through Port Blair and Havelock, told through the water rather than the sand. After the Cellular Jail's Light and Sound Show, you cross to Havelock for a day at Radhanagar Beach, then a full day at Elephant Beach, where the reef begins close enough to shore that you can stand waist-deep and still see coral and fish.
No certification or prior experience is needed. Snorkel and mask are arranged locally, and the early boat crossing to Elephant Beach is the quieter one, before the mid-morning day-trippers arrive.
- 01
Elephant Beach's reef, close to shore
Hard and soft coral, small reef fish and clownfish among the anemones all begin in shallow water here — no deep swim required to see them.
- 02
An early crossing, before the crowds
Elephant Beach is reached by boat, and day-trip boats arrive from mid-morning. This itinerary is timed for the quieter early crossing.
- 03
A discover-scuba dive, on request
If snorkelling leaves you wanting more, a discover-scuba dive with an instructor can be arranged on Havelock — no certificate needed, and depths stay shallow.

Day 2 · 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.
Day 3 · 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.

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.

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.
