Overview

The Andamans are India's most tropical corner: clear water, coral reefs and beaches that stay empty even in season. Island-hopping by ferry is part of the charm.

This route combines Port Blair's history with two islands — Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) for Radhanagar beach and snorkelling, and quieter Neil (Shaheed Dweep) for its rock formations and slow afternoons.
