Tour Overview

White sand, turquoise water, and a walk through history

This five-day trip pairs Port Blair’s colonial history with Havelock Island’s beaches. Start at the Cellular Jail, once a British prison and now the site of a moving Light and Sound Show, before a ferry crossing to Havelock for Kalapathar Beach and Radhanagar Beach, ranked among the best beaches in Asia. A day at Elephant Beach follows, before the return ferry to Port Blair for an evening of local sightseeing at the Anthropological Museum, Fisheries Aquarium, and Chidiyatapu. Every room, breakfast, dinner, ferry ticket, boat charge, entry fee, transfer, and sightseeing stop is included, so the only real decision is which beach to linger at longest.

Before You Go

Pack smart, travel easy

Layers Andaman stays warm and humid year-round, generally 24 to 31°C. Light, breathable cotton clothing works for the day; carry a light cover-up for ferry rides and air-conditioned interiors.
Footwear Comfortable sandals or flip-flops for the beaches, and closed shoes for Cellular Jail and the museum visits.
ID Proof Carry original photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID) for every traveller, ferries require ID verification for each passenger at boarding.
Sun & Bright Mornings Reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are worth carrying. Swim only in designated or lifeguard-monitored areas, and check locally for any seasonal marine advisories before entering the water.
Medical Kit If prone to seasickness, carry motion-sickness medication and take it ahead of the ferry crossings. Pack any personal medication and a basic first-aid kit.
On the Ferry Ferry schedules can shift with sea and weather conditions, arrive at the jetty well ahead of departure. Luggage allowances may be limited on the inter-island ferries, so pack accordingly.
  • Ferries to Havelock require original photo ID for every passenger at boarding; carry Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID, not just a photocopy.
  • Ferry schedules can shift with sea conditions, arrive at the jetty at least 45 minutes before departure to avoid missing your slot.
  • Swim only in designated or lifeguard-monitored areas; conditions can change quickly, and not all beaches are supervised.
  • Andaman stays warm and humid year round, expect 24 to 31°C, with the monsoon (roughly June to September) affecting both weather and ferry reliability.
  • Water sports and snorkelling at Elephant Beach are booked and paid for on the day, and are weather-dependent.
  • ATMs are limited outside Port Blair; carry sufficient cash for Havelock Island.
  • Network connectivity can be patchy on Havelock compared to Port Blair.

Everything was seamless — from the airport pickup to the checkout. Tiger Hill sunrise was absolutely breathtaking, and the Toy Train ride was a childhood dream come true. Will definitely book another trip with this team.

Took my wife for our anniversary and it was perfect. The hotel was lovely, the driver was very professional, and Mirik was a surprise highlight we hadn't expected. Highly recommended for couples.
