Tips

If you’d like to extend the trip, consider adding a day on Neil Island to explore its quiet beaches and lighthouse, or a day‑trip to Baratang Island for its limestone caves and mangrove forests. To shorten the itinerary, you can skip the Ross Island visit and combine the Port Blair sightseeing into a single half‑day, flying out directly from Port Blair after the New Year’s Eve celebration on Havelock.
