Run by locals

The team you'll actually meet

Booking direct with a Port Blair operator means your questions get answered by people who can see the weather out the window.

We live here, we run the trips, and we answer for them. That's how we know which beach stays calm on a windy day and which crossing to move by an hour rather than cancel. Our office is a real room at Phoenix Bay, not a registered address — walk in before you book, or mid-trip, and talk to the people holding your itinerary.

What we'll tell you straight

  • 01

    June to September is rough sea

    Monsoon swell cancels ferries and clouds the water. If your dates fall in that window, we'll say so before you book — not after.

  • 02

    If a cheaper ferry combination exists, we'll quote it

    Government and private boats cover the same crossings at different prices. When the slower ferry saves you money and still fits your day, you'll hear it from us first.

  • 03

    Some sunsets are better skipped

    Radhanagar at sunset draws every cab on Havelock at once. On days the tide and the crowd work against it, we'll point you to a quieter hour instead.

Good to know

Andaman trip questions, answered

The things travellers ask us most. Still unsure? We're a WhatsApp message away.

When is the best time to visit the Andaman Islands?

October to May is the ideal window, with November to February the most pleasant — warm days, calm seas and clear water for diving. June to September brings monsoon rain and rougher ferry crossings.

When should we NOT come?

June to September, honestly. That's the monsoon — the sea turns rough, ferry cancellations happen, and some water activities close for the season. If your dates fall in that window, we'll tell you straight before you book, not after. October to May is the season.

How many days do I need for an Andaman trip?

5 to 6 nights is the sweet spot — enough to cover Port Blair, Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil Island at a relaxed pace. A short 3–4 night trip works if you focus on Port Blair and Havelock.

How much does an Andaman tour package cost?

Your quote depends on dates, nights, room arrangements, travellers and the activities included. Ask for the whole-party total with flights and extras stated separately. Our trip-cost guide explains how to compare the same scope.

Do I need a permit to visit?

Indian nationals do not need a permit for the main tourist islands. Foreign nationals receive a free Restricted Area Permit on arrival at Port Blair airport — we guide you through it.

Are ferries and transfers included?

Your written quote lists the ferry crossings, class, airport and hotel transfers included. Airfare is separate unless the quote explicitly includes it.
