Andaman travel guide
India’s island paradise
The Andaman Islands feel like an international beach holiday without a passport. Swaraj Dweep (Havelock) has the famous Radhanagar Beach and the best dive sites; Shaheed Dweep (Neil) is a laid-back island of cycling lanes and natural rock bridges; and Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) tells the story of the freedom struggle at the Cellular Jail.
Our Andaman tour packages include inter-island cruise ferries, beach resorts, snorkelling and scuba options. They are ideal for honeymooners, families and our Andaman group trips.

Andaman travel tips
Book ferries well in advance in peak season — we include them in every package.
Carry a government photo ID for ferries and the airport.
Use reef-safe sunscreen and never touch coral.
Mobile networks and internet are slower than the mainland; Airtel and BSNL work best.
Carry cash on Neil and Havelock — ATMs are few.
Scuba is safe for non-swimmers with a certified instructor; fly 24 hours after diving.
