Day 01 :

Arrival in Port Blair – Beach Bliss and Cultural Heritage

You'll land in Port Blair, and someone from our team will already be there to get you to the hotel. Once you've checked in and had a bit of rest, head out in the afternoon to Corbyn's Cove Beach - it's calm, lined with palm trees, and a nice, easy way to get into island mode. Come evening, the Light & Sound Show at Cellular Jail is worth catching - it tells the story of the freedom struggle in a way that really sticks with you. Overnight in Port Blair.

Day 02 :

Port Blair to Havelock Island – Radhanagar Beach

Breakfast first, then a ferry ride over to Havelock. Once you're checked in, make your way to Radhanagar Beach - people call it one of Asia's best, and once you're standing on that white sand, you'll get why. If you can, stay till sunset - the sky here puts on a show. Overnight in Havelock.

Day 03 :

Elephant Beach – Snorkeling

After breakfast, it's off to Elephant Beach for a guided snorkeling trip by boat. The water's clear, so spotting fish and coral doesn't take much effort, and the guide makes it easy even if it's your first time. Head back to the hotel once you're done. Overnight in Havelock.

Day 04 :

Havelock to Neil Island – Laxmanpur Beach

Post breakfast, cruise over to Neil Island. Take some time to settle in, then head to Laxmanpur Beach - it's about 2 km from the jetty, quieter than the others, and known for sunsets that don't disappoint. Overnight in Neil Island.

Day 05 :

Neil Island to Port Blair – Bharatpur Beach

After breakfast, start at Beach Number 2 to check out the natural coral bridge - an odd, striking sight worth the stop. Then take a slow stroll along Bharatpur Beach before catching the ferry back to Port Blair. Once you're there, we'll help with the transfer to your hotel, and the rest of the day is yours to relax. Overnight in Port Blair.

Day 06 :

Ross Island & North Bay Island

A day that mixes history with marine life. First stop is Ross Island, once the first British administrative base here, where you can walk through the old colonial ruins. From there, a boat takes you to North Bay Island, known for its marine life - scuba diving, sea walking, snorkeling, or a glass-bottom boat ride are all on offer if you want to add them (extra cost). Back to Port Blair for the night.

Day 07 :

Baratang Island – Caves and Mangroves

Early start today. You'll drive through forest and the Jarawa Tribal Reserve on the way to Baratang, and you might spot some of the Jarawa tribe along the route. From the jetty, a boat takes you through the mangroves, followed by a short trek to the Limestone Caves - shaped over time from calcite. It's a full day out, and you'll head back the same way, landing in Port Blair for the night.

Day 08 :

Departure

One last breakfast, then it's time to pack up and head to the airport. The trip ends here, but the beaches and that water are hard to forget once you're home.
