Tips

To extend the trip, add a full day on Havelock for a sunrise visit to Kalapathar Beach or a longer scuba session. If you need to shorten it, skip Neil Island and spend the extra day on Havelock’s water sports, reducing ferry costs and accommodation by one night. Booking flights and ferries well in advance secures the best rates, and traveling in the off‑season (October‑November) offers quieter beaches and lower hotel prices.
