Overview & Highlights
This group trip covers the classic Andaman circuit over six nights: two in Port Blair, two in Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), one in Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) and a final night back in Port Blair. You visit Cellular Jail and its evening Light and Sound show, explore Ross Island and North Bay, and spend time on Radhanagar Beach and Elephant Beach. Ferries link the islands, and sailing times depend on the sea, so the order of days may change on the day. A trip captain travels with the group throughout, and Indian meal options are available on request. The pace is easy, with free time on most days. Snorkelling is optional and diving can be added on request, which suits families, friends travelling together and senior parents.
