Start with a hearty South Indian or continental breakfast at a popular Aberdeen Bazaar café so you have energy for museum visits and the day. Most cafes in Aberdeen open from about 7:00am and serve local seafood and vegetarian options.
Visit the Cellular Jail complex to learn about India’s colonial history and freedom fighters; the museum galleries give excellent context. The complex is generally open roughly 8:30am–5:30pm; plan 1.5–2 hours.
Enjoy fresh local fish or a coastal thali near Aberdeen Bazaar to taste Andaman seafood—popular restaurants are open from late morning to late evening. Good chance to try local crab, fish curry or vegetarian options.
Return for the evening Light & Sound show (usually around 6:00pm to 6:30pm) which dramatizes the jail’s history — check showtime on arrival as it can vary seasonally.
Early light breakfast before transfer to the ferry terminal; many hotels provide early breakfasts for ferry passengers. Aim to be at Phoenix/Wharf 45–60 minutes before departure.
Take a fast ferry (government/passenger or private) to Havelock; typical fast-ferry time is ~1.5–2.5 hours depending on vessel. Book tickets in advance during peak season.
Spend the afternoon at world-famous Radhanagar Beach for swimming, lounging and the iconic sunset; beach is open all day but lifeguard hours vary, so swim in daylight.
Enjoy fresh seafood, salads and coastal plates at this popular Havelock café near Radhanagar; typically open from breakfast into the evening (check seasonal hours).
Evening dinner at a well-liked Havelock café—great for relaxed meals and local desserts. Many cafés run until late but check closing times in low season.
Boat transfer to Elephant Beach for snorkelling and coral viewing; boats usually operate 8:00am–2:00pm and require pre-booking. Snorkelling sessions last ~1–2 hours with equipment provided.
Simple, fresh meals near the beach—seafood thalis and coastal curries are common. Many beach shacks open midday but confirm availability during monsoon season.
Early breakfast then a short ferry (around 30–60 minutes depending on service) to Neil Island; ferries run several times a day but book ahead in peak months.
Neil is perfect for cycling; pedal to Laxmanpur for wide sands, tide pools and the famous sunset viewpoint. Beaches are open all day and are tranquil compared with Havelock.
Take an evening ferry back to Port Blair (schedules vary); if you prefer, you can return to Havelock then Port Blair—plan your connections to avoid late-night travel.
Little Andaman is reached by passenger ship or charter boat from Port Blair; departures are infrequent so an early start and confirmed booking are essential. Allow time for check-in and luggage checks.
The sea crossing can take 3–6 hours depending on vessel and weather—book a reliable operator and check for seasonal cancellations. Expect scenic open-ocean travel.
Most dining options on Little Andaman are at resorts; have a relaxed lunch at your property and get guidance on local excursions (waterfalls, surf spots).
Butler Bay is Little Andaman’s main surf and beach stretch — surfers and beach walkers will enjoy the long sandy shoreline and beginner waves (surf schools operate in season). Beach open all day.
Visit the island’s waterfalls and freshwater pools — excellent for a cool dip and rainforest scenery; access times depend on tides and local roads so go with a guide (usually available from 8:00am).
Take a scenic drive to the lighthouse area and coastal viewpoints—great for birding and photos. Roads can be rustic; guided drives usually run in the afternoon.
If conditions allow, try a surf lesson (seasonal) or enjoy a quiet beach evening at Butler Bay; surf lessons and rentals depend on local operators and tides.
Pack and have an early breakfast to catch the passenger ship or return transfer to Port Blair — check your boat schedule the night before as services can change with weather.
If time permits, take a short half-day boat trip to Ross Island (historic ruins) or North Bay (snorkel/underwater sea walk). Ross Island usually open ~9:00am–4:00pm; book boats from Aberdeen Wharf.
Head to Veer Savarkar International Airport or relax at a hotel if your flight is next day. Confirm pick-ups and allow time for security checks at the airport.
