Take an early morning direct flight from Delhi to Port Blair to maximize your first day; flight time ~2.5–3 hours. Book an early flight (6–8am) if available.
Visit the Cellular Jail complex and small museum to learn about the islands' freedom-fighter history; the museum/gallery is open roughly 9:00am–5:00pm. Important for historical context.
Try fresh seafood or local preparations; these restaurants are reliable for Port Blair-style coastal meals. A relaxed dinner helps beat travel fatigue.
Board a high-speed ferry (Makruzz/Green Ocean/private) to Havelock — typical crossing 1.5–2.5 hours depending on the service; book seats in advance and check morning cancellations (monsoon).
Visit the world-famous Radhanagar Beach — wide white sand and calm water; ideal for swimming and photography. Public access normally 6:00am–6:00pm (confirm local timings).
Take a short boat ride to Elephant Beach for snorkeling (coral & colorful fish) or a glass-bottom-boat trip; operators run morning and afternoon boats — confirm times locally. Snorkeling is weather-dependent (check marine advisories during monsoon).
Book a PADI/SSI try-dive or certified dive with a reputable operator (Dive India, Nemo, etc.). Morning dives are calmest; expect 1–2 dives and marine life sightings. Check operator schedules and equipment sanitation standards.
Relax at the quieter Kala Pathar beach or rent a bicycle and ride through small island villages to experience local life; gentle late-afternoon activity.
Check into your Neil hotel and head to Bharatpur Beach for swimming and snorkeling; glass-bottom-boat rides are available roughly 8:00am–5:00pm (confirm locally).
Visit the Natural Rock Bridge (best at low tide; open generally 8:00am–5:00pm) and spend the evening watching the dramatic sunset at Laxmanpur Beach — a stunning spot for photos and solitude.
Have lunch at a comfortable Port Blair restaurant close to the harbor; this is a good spot to sample different seafood specialties or continental dishes.
Take a short boat ride (boat services until about 3:00pm–3:30pm) to Ross Island to roam colonial ruins, peacocks, and scenic views; boats typically run 9:00am–3:00pm—confirm local timings.
Baratang day trips depart very early (pickup ~3:30–4:00am) because it’s a long drive to the jetty; the full day includes mangrove boat ride, limestone caves, mud volcano and return to Port Blair late evening.
Travel by small boat through dense mangroves to reach the limestone caves; boat runs in morning hours and is subject to weather — the caves are usually accessible 9:00am–4:00pm.
Visit the nearby mud volcano site and enjoy a packed or roadside lunch arranged by the tour operator; note that heavy rain can affect accessibility during monsoon.
Complete the drive back to Port Blair arriving in the evening; expect a long day (12+ hours), so rest on the way back. Keep contingency if roads are affected by monsoon.
Enjoy a final breakfast and pick up souvenirs (shell crafts, local spices, honey) at Aberdeen Bazaar; many shops open from ~9:00am so plan accordingly for flight time.
Arrive at Delhi and conclude your 6-night, 7-day Andaman trip with memories and photos — if you have evening plans in Delhi, plan airport transfer time accordingly.
