Andaman — Port Blair & Havelock

Port Blair's colonial past and Havelock's world-class beaches, connected by seamless ferry links

The Cellular Jail’s floodlights cut through the Port Blair dusk. That’s your first night sorted. You fly in direct on IndiGo from Mumbai and check into SeaShell Port Blair — contemporary rooms, solid location, no fuss. The Light & Sound Show fills in the colonial history fast. Next morning, Corbyn’s Cove Beach gives you a slow start. Waves, coffee, nothing urgent. Then you board the Makruzz Premium catamaran to Havelock Island — reserved seat already waiting. Havelock runs at its own pace. You let it. One night back in Port Blair wraps the trip. Aberdeen Bazaar handles souvenirs. Alp Travel Co. handles the rest: reserved ferry seats, pre-booked hotels, transfers timed to your flight.

Floodlit walls, clear water, one seamless trip between them.

How it unfolds

FLY IN
Flight · 3h DEL→IXZ via IndiGo or Vistara, ~3h, direct
DAYS 1–2

Port Blair

The IndiGo flight lands and the heat is immediate. Check into SeaShell Port Blair — the rooms are clean, the location central. By evening you’re at the Cellular Jail for the Light & Sound Show. The narration is blunt and the history hits hard. Next morning, take the half-day ferry to Ross Island. Crumbling British colonial structures push through the jungle. It’s a sharp contrast to the afternoon at Corbyn’s Cove, where the water is calm and the pace drops completely.

  • Cellular Jail Light & Sound Show · 2h Best experienced at dusk for the full effect
  • Ross Island half-day excursion · 3h Morning boat trip to explore colonial ruins and deer
  • Corbyn’s Cove Beach · 2h Early morning for quietest sands and sunrise
Ferry · 2h Port Blair→Havelock by Makruzz Premium ferry, ~2h, reserved seats
DAYS 3–5

Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep)

The Makruzz Premium catamaran leaves Port Blair on time. Your seat is reserved — no scramble, no standing. Havelock receives you at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, where the villa faces the tree line and silence is the main amenity. Set an alarm for Radhanagar Beach at sunrise. The light is worth it. Mid-morning, Dive India runs a scuba session that puts you over coral at fifteen metres. Elephant Beach handles the snorkelling in the afternoon. Dinner at Something Different Café: order the fresh catch.

  • Radhanagar Beach sunrise walk · 2h Arrive at dawn for solitude and best light
  • Scuba diving with Dive India · 4h Morning dives for clear visibility and calm seas
  • Snorkeling at Elephant Beach · 3h Mid-morning boat trip for vibrant coral viewing
  • Seafood dinner at Something Different Café · 2h Book a sunset table for ocean views
Ferry · 2h Havelock→Port Blair by Makruzz Premium ferry, ~2h, reserved seats
DAYS 6–7

Port Blair

The Makruzz brings you back to Port Blair by midday. SeaShell Port Blair holds your room. The afternoon belongs to Aberdeen Bazaar — shell crafts, spices, a few things worth carrying home. Alp Travel Co. has your transfer to the airport pre-arranged and timed. You leave with nothing left to sort.

  • Aberdeen Bazaar shopping · 1h Evening stroll for local crafts and souvenirs

From our travellers

"Greece delivered everything we'd hoped for — and then some. We moved island to island at our own pace, with every transfer sorted and every hotel briefed. Two properties upgraded us without any prompting. That's not luck; that's what booking through the right person gets you."
