Tips

For a shorter 4‑day trip, skip Neil Island and spend the extra day on Havelock for more diving or a day‑trip to nearby islands. To extend to 6 days, add a day at Port Blair for a full‑day excursion to Baratang Island’s limestone caves and mangrove creek, or enjoy an additional leisure day on Havelock for extra water‑sports. Book flights and ferries well in advance, especially during peak season (October‑March), to secure the best rates.
