Tips

For a more relaxed pace, consider extending the stay by a day on Havelock or Neil Island to enjoy additional beach time or a full‑day island‑hopping tour. If you need to shorten the itinerary, you can combine Day 2’s Ross Island visit with a quick morning snorkel at North Bay and skip the evening walk in Port Blair, saving a few hours while still experiencing the highlights.
