Andaman and Nicobar Islands are one of India’s two island union territories in the Bay of Bengal. In late 2018, the Government of India renamed Havelock Island as Swaraj Dweep, Neil Island as Shaheed Dweep, and Ross Island as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep.
These islands are well-connected by air to major Indian cities and via ships to Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, and Chennai. The main entry point to these islands from mainland India, Port Blair, is also their capital city. Tourists prefer visiting nearby islands, such as Ross Island, Havelock Island, and Neil Island from Port Blair, for which regular ferry services are available. Most of the Andaman tour packages start from here. Besides Hindi and English, Bengali is the most spoken language in these islands.

The best time to visit Andaman is between October and May. These are the months when the weather is at its best and you will be able to enjoy each activity without being bothered by the heat. Whether you are sightseeing or indulging in watersports, or any other activity, you can do them all without any problem. In the monsoons the waters around the island chain become choppy. And as you decide the time to visit Andaman, you can check out the Andaman tour packages and book the suitable one. You will come across various types of Andaman tourist packages. Therefore, it will be easier for you to choose one of the Andaman tourist packages that are perfect for you.
How to reach Andaman is one of the foremost questions that come to our mind when we plan to visit the island. Andaman can be reached by air and sea. Let us discuss them in length as flights are included in most of the Andaman tourist packages.
Andaman is connected via flights with other destinations in India such as Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, etc. The main airport in Andaman and Nicobar Island is Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair. Almost all the Andaman tourism packages come with flights included in them. Therefore, you can choose from the Andaman packages that are ideal for you. And as you browse through, you can also look for an Andaman Nicobar package for family.
Another way to reach Andaman & Nicobar Island is via sea. You can catch a cargo ship from Kolkata, Visakhapatnam, or Chennai, and you will get Haddo Jetty in Port Blair. There are boats as well that can help you to reach Port Blair, but they are time-consuming. Also, they may not be too comfortable.
The main Andaman islands include Middle Andaman, South Andaman, Port Blair, LandFall Island, Little Andaman, Car Nicobar, Great Nicobar, Nancowry, Katchal, Chowra, Teresa, and Little Nicobar. Jolly Buoy Island, North Bay Islands, and Chidiya Tapu are also worth visiting under Andaman tourist packages.
It is important to note that when visiting on an Andaman Nicobar tour package, Indian tourists don’t need a permit to visit the islands. Still, a special permit is a must if they want to visit tribal areas. Foreign tourists; however, as part of their Andaman tourism packages, must get a permit to visit the islands, which is provided to them on arrival.
The breathtaking natural beauty of its multicolored coral reefs makes North Bay Island a major tourist attraction. Also worth watching is the wide variety of underwater marine life in the waters around the island, which can also be seen riding a glass-bottom boat.
The coral reefs surrounding the islands are a natural wonder and a must-watch. Known for its white-sand beaches, North Bay Island is the ultimate destination for scuba diving and snorkeling.
It is just 8 kilometers from Port Blair by boat/ferry. So, if you want to visit this place, make sure it has already been added to your Andaman Nicobar tour package.
Tourists flock to Havelock Island to enjoy its natural beauty and savor its magnificent white sand beaches, be it Elephant beach, Radhanagar Beach, Kalapathar Beach, or Vijay Nagar beach. As a part of Andaman tourist packages, a trip to the island includes enjoying the happening nightlife on the island with its many pubs. There are many spas where tourists can let their hair down, relax, and rejuvenate themselves.
One of the must-do activities in the Andaman Islands is light and sound shows at Cellular Jail and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island.
The island is located 71 kilometers away from Port Blair and can be reached by boat/ferry. Do not miss out on visiting this place, especially if this is a part of the Andaman Nicobar tour package.
Another unique thing to do for tourists in the Andaman Islands is to visit the mud volcanoes at Baratang island. This is a natural phenomenon where mud bursts out due to the formation of gases and liquids in the earth’s interior.
Also worth watching are the limestone caves with their incredible shapes of stalagmites and stalactites. Parrot Island, which is part of Baratang Island, is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Tourists can also go on a canoe ride through the mangrove forest on the island.
The island is located 101 kilometers from Port Blair and can be reached by boat/ferry for a day-long Andaman Nicobar tour.
Also known as Shaheed Dweep, Neil Island is one of the most deserted islands in the Andamans. It is famed for its tranquil white-sand beaches, named after various characters from the epic Ramayana, such as Laxmanpur, Ramnagar, Sitapur, and Bharatpur beach. Their fruit and vegetable cultivation is also famous. The island is a great scuba diving and snorkeling destination due to its renowned coral reefs. Along with Havelock Island, Neil Island is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Andaman tour packages.
The island is located 107 kilometers from Port Blair and can be reached by boat/ferry. So, make sure you have Neil Island added to the Andaman Nicobar tour package that you have booked.
Ross Island is the third leg of the golden triangle of tourist attractions in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, alongside Neil Island and Havelock Islands. Though small in size, the island is famed for its beaches and rich history.
Tourists visiting Ross Island can see the remains of a penal colony developed during British colonial rule. Most buildings, including a church and offices, are still standing but are now covered with local flora. These were built by prisoners who were mostly freedom fighters against the British colonists. Tourists can also attend a light and sound show on the island held in the evening, especially if it is included in the Andaman tourist packages.
The island is located just 3 kilometers south of Port Blair and can be reached by boat/ferry.
Andaman tours are incomplete without touring Port Blair. Among the many things to do in Andaman, tourists can visit various other historic landmarks and important buildings in the city such as Gurudwara Dr. Diwan Singh (named after a well-known freedom fighter), Murugan Temple, Marina Park Aquarium, Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, Chatham Saw Mill, Andaman Zoo, Aberdeen Bazaar, Sagorika Government Market, Anthropological Museum, Science Centre, Fisheries Museum, Forest Museum, and Naval Museum. Port Blair is also famous for its breathtaking Corbyn Cove beach and is often a part of the Andaman tour packages.
The city of Port Blair is the main shopping hub on the island chain, and tourists can shop for various locally made items made of pearl, wood, shell, bamboo, and coconut tree parts. The variety of activities to do in Port Blair makes it ideally suited for a week-long honeymoon trip for newly married couples. They can spend some quality time together in the city besides touring the nearby islands in their Andaman packages, all of which are accessible by boat/ferry from Port Blair. Thus, you need to make sure Port Blair is added to the Andaman tourism packages.
Ideally suited for one-week Andaman tour packages, the usual hiking, trekking, or bird-watching trips are common. Tourist activities on the islands include a multitude of adventure sports on the Andaman Islands, like snorkeling, water-skiing, scuba-diving, paragliding, parasailing, jet-skiing, sea-walking, boat safari, and fishing. There are registered tourist agencies that organize a variety of expeditions as part of Andaman tour packages for tourists visiting the islands. If these activities are included in the Andaman tourist packages, you must try them. So, here are some of the things to do in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
A tour of Ross Island is worth it. In this penal colony developed during British colonial rule, tourists can see ruins of the numerous buildings built by prisoners – mainly freedom fighters resisting the British colonists. Therefore, this has to be part of Andaman trips.
Known for their blue water, most of the islands of Andaman and Nicobar are untouched, unhabituated, and surrounded by some of the best coral reefs in the world. As part of activities included in most Andaman tour packages, skilled divers from around the world make a beeline for the islands, especially to enjoy scuba diving at North Bay; Nemo Reef, Havelock Island; and Bharatpur Beach, Neil Island.
As part of the things to do in Andaman, tourists on Andaman tours can also go snorkeling assisted by instructors to the various surrounding islands and coral reefs. Tourists can watch marine life, such as turtles, fish, manta rays, and other species in their natural surroundings at Elephant Beach, Havelock Island, Red Skin Island, North Bay Island, and South Button Island during their Andaman tours.
Andaman is a paradise every seafood lover must try, as seafood is part of its staple diet. At reasonable prices, the variety offered by restaurants on Andaman island includes cuttlefish, red snapper, crabs, prawns, lobsters, and much more. Most of these restaurants are located in Port Blair and Havelock Island. Bonova Cafe And Pub, Amaya, Anju Coco, New Lighthouse Restaurant, and Seafood Delights are some of the best-known seafood restaurants on the islands. This is something that you cannot just miss out on, especially when you go for the Andaman Nicobar package for family.
Tourist agencies and qualified tour guides organize regular trekking excursions on various islands – Neil Island being a tourist favorite. Agencies also offer Andaman tour packages, which include trekking for newly married couples who want to trek these islands. At 732 meters, Saddle Peak on North Andaman Island is the highest point on the island chain and is an excellent trekking option for honeymooning couples.
Andaman tourism packages include bird-watching expeditions where bird-watching enthusiasts can see 270 species, with over a dozen endemic bird species (i.e., found nowhere else in the world) in the island forests. They can see species like Andaman serpent-eagle, Andaman crake, Narcondam hornbill, Nicobar sparrowhawk, Brown coucal, White-headed starling, and many more. Parrot Island, in particular, has several bird-watching opportunities and must be covered on Andaman tours.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands are home to some of India’s most exotic white sand beaches. As part of Andaman tourist packages, tourist agencies regularly organize beach walks for tourists. Havelock Island is home to some of the most famous beaches, including Elephant Beach, Radhanagar Beach, Kalapathar Beach, and Vijay Nagar beach. Besides the immaculate blue waters and white sand, these beaches are famed for their stunning sunset and sunrise views.
