Welcome to India’s tropical paradise. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands offer turquoise lagoons,
sugar-white beaches, coral reefs teeming with life, and slow island rhythms. Most itineraries start in
Port Blair and then sail to
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and
Neil (Shaheed Dweep)—home to the
celebrated Radhanagar Beach, luminous reefs, and starlit shores. Whether you’re diving with
manta rays, kayaking bioluminescent waters, or simply swinging in a hammock, our tailor-made
packages make island time effortless.
Why Choose the Andamans?
Short flights from Chennai/Kolkata, reliable island ferries, and a string of dreamy beaches make
Andamans the perfect honeymoon or family escape. Expect
sustainable, small-scale resorts, restorative nature, and a blend of Indian and Southeast Asian influences.
Our trips balance relaxed downtime with curated experiences—reef cruises, sunset points, local cafes,
and secret snorkel coves.

The sweet spot is 6–7 days covering Port Blair, Havelock and Neil. Add 1–2 days for
Baratang or a second dive day. Short on time? A 4–5 day plan with just Port Blair &
Havelock still packs in Radhanagar Beach and Elephant Beach snorkeling.
October to May brings calmer seas and clear visibility—great for ferries, snorkeling and
diving. Monsoon months (June–September) are lush and quiet, but some water activities and sailings
may be weather-dependent.
Indian citizens typically don’t need special permits for the main tourist islands. Foreign travelers are
issued a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) on arrival (subject to government policy). Certain tribal
reserves and protected zones remain off-limits. We guide you on current rules and handle any paperwork
tied to activities (e.g., drones or specialty dives).
