Overview & Highlights
This private family holiday uses two bases, Port Blair and Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), so there is only one ferry each way and little repacking. In Port Blair you visit a calm beach, Cellular Jail, Ross Island and North Bay, where glass-bottom boats let children see coral without swimming. On Havelock you spend time at Radhanagar Beach and take a boat to Elephant Beach. The pace is relaxed, with free time each day, which suits children and grandparents. We can adjust meals and activities to the group's needs.
