Things to do in Andaman

The Andaman Islands look undisturbed by human activities on the first approach, but that’s hardly the case when the islands are bustling with tourist crowd during the peak season in Andaman. These dreamy islands – lit up in sunset radiance – have all the ingredients to make a honeymoon getaway or a family vacation unforgettable. From jet skiing at North Bay Island to scuba diving at Radhanagar Beach and from climbing the highest mountain at Diglipur to sea-walking under the shallow waters, let’s take a look at all the things to do in Andaman during your tropical escape.

Like discovering underwater corals and sailing above an island in a parachute, there is plenty of things to do in Andaman and Nicobar islands for travellers. Learning about Island’s history at the Cellular Jail, paying a visit to the zoo at Chidiya Tapu and the Anthropological Museum, and some retail therapy with dining at Aberdeen Bazaar are quintessential activities to do during a normal sightseeing in Port Blair.

The capital city is an ideal launch-pad for exploring nearby islands via boat and towns via taxis. Travellers take a one-hour ferry ride from Port Blair to reach the scenic Havelock Island, the second largest island in Andaman archipelago. The island features a string of white sandy beaches like Radhanagar Beach, Kala Pathar Beach, Vijay Nagar Beach, Govind Nagar Beach, and Elephant Beach.

Travellers can have some fun under the sun by indulging in swimming, diving, kayaking, and sunbathing in Andaman. Auto rickshaws and shared taxis are available here for people to check out all the beaches in the vicinity.

Some of the top scuba fishing sites in Andaman are at beaches in Havelock Island. Explore vivid coral formations and learn about marine life during an underwater dive. Couples on honeymoon and families on holiday can take pre-dive training and beginner’s session before taking a dive. One session of scuba diving can last up to two hours. Scuba diving and snorkelling is an activity that can be enjoyed by both professional divers and non-swimmers. The Lighthouse, the Wall, Minerva Lodge, Dixon's Pinnacle, and Johnny’s Gorge are popular dive sites in Andaman.

Sea-walking – one of the most rewarding activities in Andaman – includes walking on sea bottom for 25 minutes. Perfect for people of all ages, this is a wholesome family experience to have on your holiday in Andaman. Game fishing in the Andaman Islands is another favourite pastime of locals and travellers alike. There’s nothing like sharing an anecdote with a local and sitting comfortably in a comfy boat waiting for your next catch.

For those who have had enough of the beach can try jungle trekking. Local operators take travellers on beautiful trails in the Mount Harriet National Park. Home to rich native flora and fauna, this national park allows opportunities for bird watching, nature viewing, and picnicking.

Jeet's 7 days trip to Andaman

We were welcomed at the airport and dropped at Hotel. The rooms in BayleafIn were very small but clean. Hardly space to walk after keeping the luggage.Food was good. At the evening we were kept stranded at Corbyn's cove and after repeated calls they send us a 4 seater car for 6 for pick up. No proper dissemination of information. Because of this we were late for the light show at cellular jail. Trip to havelock and niel was good but for elephanta Beach travel they provided a jetty without cover.It was difficult for us to sit with children and it was a very slow boat. While returning from Neil our tickets were scattered in cruise ,difficult to travel in such way. No swimming pool at neil island. Had to shift rooms as AC was not working..At portblair I was completely misguided as from 2PM to 4 PM we were kept at hotel due to non availability of vehichle. They didn't show the museum and market got closed while the cab reached. Not a perfect tour as expected. Water Sports at Elephanta beach, Radhanagar Beach and Neil Island tour.

Jits's 4 days trip to Andaman

It was really a great trip. Thanks to Holiday feet. It was a very well co-ordinated and no problem as such. Just one feedback I have whenever there is a payment issue between coordinators in different places, please do not ask us to leave the car or wait until the payment is done. They directly asked us to wait at the beach and saying your payment was not clear so we could not help you. Though the payment was done after few minutes but make sure it's already done or it will be done afterwards. Rest everything was great

The staff was very cooperative and prompt. Thanks a lot Saksham, Naziya and Sourabh for putting together a great holiday experience! Would definitely recommend. :)

FAQ's of Andaman

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

There are no religious restrictions as such in Andaman, but general societal niceties and etiquettes are to be followed, such as asking people, read native tribes, before taking their photographs.

The ideal duration depends on how many islands you want to cover in the Andaman. Anything from 4 nights to 9 nights can be considered the ideal duration for a blissfull vacation in the Andaman.

Andaman is famed across the world for offering some of the greatest seafood of the country. The must try dishes here include crabs, prawns, shrimps, lobsters and a huge range of fish. Vegetarian options are alsos available and are just as good.

Once awarded as the most beautiful beach in Asia, Radhanagar Beach is a definite must visit when here. The other beaches of Andaman are also beautiful and warrant a visit.

Mostly there is not much of a nightlife in the Andamans. Some hotels, resorts and bars here do offer a decent nightlife. even though it is a little sedate. However, during New Year's Eve and Christmas, all of Andaman is decked up in fairy lights and the atmosphere can only be defined as electrifying.

Good time to visit Andaman is between October and May which constitutes summer and winter season in Andaman which is ideal for sightseeing and water sports activities.
