The Experience

The tour starts with airport pickup and a 4-km coastal drive to Corbyn's Cove Beach on your arrival day, followed by the Cellular Jail Sound and Light Show in the evening—a historical enactment of India's independence struggle. You stay at a three-star hotel in Port Blair, and the tour coordinator handles the logistics from there. The next morning, you board a ferry to Havelock Island, where the team meets you at the jetty and transfers you to your hotel. After lunch, you spend the afternoon and sunset at Radhanagar Beach, one of the most photographed beaches in India.

Day three is built around Elephant Beach, a 30-minute boat ride from Havelock's dock. The beach is known for its coral reef, and the tour includes a complimentary snorkeling session (weather and local guidelines permitting). You return by boat to the dock, where transport takes you back to your hotel. Later that evening, you visit Kalapathar Beach for another coastal drive and time to explore before returning for the night. The itinerary notes that if you want additional water activities—Sea Walk, Parasailing, Scuba Diving—the team can arrange them on the ground.

Day four moves you to Neil Island, the "vegetable bowl" of Andaman. A ferry from Havelock takes you across; the team meets you at Neil's jetty and transfers you to a three-star resort. Sightseeing begins after check-in, starting with Neil's natural rock formation (a short beach walk to reach it) and then Laxmanpur Beach, a quieter spot 2 km north of the jetty, where you watch the sunset. On day five, you visit Bharatpur Beach, known for water activities, then take the ferry back to Port Blair in the afternoon. The ferry ticket is not included in the package price. Your final day is the airport drop-off. Throughout, the tour coordinator stays in touch, and all hotel-to-transport connections are pre-arranged so you're never waiting at a dock or a hotel entrance.

Top questions

What's included in the Andaman tour package and what do I need to pay for separately?

The package includes airport pickup and drop, all hotel accommodation, private transport between islands and beaches, the tour coordinator, and parking charges. Lunch and dinner are not included, nor are ferry tickets between Port Blair and the islands, camera or video charges at attractions, or any water sports beyond the complimentary snorkeling at Elephant Beach.

How do I get between Port Blair, Havelock Island and Neil Island?

You travel by ferry between the islands. The tour coordinator arranges your schedule around ferry times, and the team meets you at each jetty to transfer you to your hotel. Ferry tickets are purchased separately and are not part of the package price.

What is the Cellular Jail Sound and Light Show, and when do I see it?

The Cellular Jail is a historical monument in Port Blair where Indian freedom fighters were imprisoned. The Sound and Light Show is an evening performance that enacts their struggle for independence. You attend it on your arrival day after visiting Corbyn's Cove Beach.

Is snorkeling at Elephant Beach included, and what should I know about it?

Yes, a complimentary snorkeling session is included at Elephant Beach on day three. The beach has one of the best coral reefs in Havelock Island. Snorkeling depends on weather conditions and local association guidelines, so it may not be possible on every day. If you want to try scuba diving, sea walks or parasailing instead, the team can help arrange those for an additional cost.

What kind of accommodation will I stay in during the tour?

You stay at three-star hotels and resorts: Hotel Bay Walk by Sea Side (or similar) in Port Blair, Blue Island Beach Resort (or similar) on Havelock Island, and Tango Resort (or similar) on Neil Island. All are included in the package.

How much time do I spend at each beach, and is there free time to explore on my own?

The itinerary includes afternoon and sunset time at Radhanagar Beach on day two, a full day at Elephant Beach and Kalapathar Beach on day three, and visits to Neil Island's rock formation, Laxmanpur Beach and Bharatpur Beach on days four and five. The tour coordinator manages the schedule, but you have leisure time at each beach to swim, walk or rest before returning to your hotel.
