About this trip

Radhanagar beach on Havelock is regularly called the best beach in Asia and, unusually for such claims, it holds up. The water across the islands is clearer than anywhere else in India.

The trip is essentially Port Blair, Havelock and Neil, linked by ferries. Those ferries shape the whole itinerary and need booking well ahead in season.

How to reach: Flights to Port Blair from Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi and Bengaluru, then inter-island ferries which we book with the trip.

When not to go: May to September, when the sea is rough and ferries are frequently cancelled

Trip highlights

  • Scuba diving and snorkelling at Elephant Beach and Neil

Questions people actually ask

Six to eight. Ferries consume half a day each way, so anything shorter means spending most of the trip in transit rather than on a beach.
No. Introductory dives are led by an instructor and require no swimming ability, and sea walking is an option for anyone nervous about diving.
It is the most expensive domestic beach destination, mostly because of flights and ferries. We will say honestly whether your budget suits it or whether Goa or Gokarna fits better.
