After settling in, take a relaxed stroll to Sagarika Government Emporium to pick up island snacks and handicrafts, then walk along the waterfront to the historic Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island (Ross Island) viewpoint from the jetty area for a quick photo stop and island history primer. Finish with a light local breakfast at Annapurna Restaurant or a popular tea stall near Aberdeen Bazaar, sampling fresh coconut water and egg rolls while soaking in Port Blair's laid-back rhythm.
Spend a relaxed afternoon exploring the waterfront market and sampling local street food at Aberdeen Bazaar-try fresh fruit chaat and kingfish fry from small vendors while watching ferry traffic. Then visit the quiet cultural spot Anthropological Museum to get a concise, budget-friendly introduction to island tribes and ecology, finishing with a peaceful stroll and sunset view at Corbyn's Cove viewpoint before dinner.
As the day winds down, enjoy a relaxed dinner at New Lighthouse Restaurant for affordable seafood and local curries, then take an easy post-meal stroll along the lit promenade near Aberdeen Jetty to watch ferries glide by and feel the sea breeze. Finish with a casual drink or dessert at Cafe Delta (many stay-open options) while planning tomorrow's visit to the Cellular Jail-this keeps the evening low-cost, close to your lodging, and sets up a timely start for the next day.
Start early with a guided tour of Cellular Jail to catch the quiet morning light and hear the moving stories at the memorial and museum galleries, then attend the short audio-visual presentation for historical context. Afterward, walk to nearby Chatham Saw Mill for a quick look at one of Asia's oldest and still-functional mills and grab a budget-friendly coastal breakfast at Light House Canteen-fresh bread, chai, and omelettes-before heading to Corbyn's Cove for a relaxed beach hour of swimming and shoreline exploration.
After a moving morning, wander through the bustling lanes toward Aberdeen Bazaar's food street for a budget-friendly seafood lunch-try a spicy fish thali or prawn fry at a small local eatery-then stroll to Anthropological Museum Annex (local craft stalls nearby) to browse affordable tribal handicrafts and pick up souvenirs. Finish with a relaxed late-afternoon at Bharatpur Beach for shallow snorkeling and shell-hunting; rent a simple mask from a beach vendor and watch fishermen bring in their catch while the light softens toward sunset.
After a day of history and beach time, head to Chatham Point for a relaxed seaside walk and chance to watch local fishermen mend nets as the sky cools; stop at The Lighthouse Café nearby for an affordable masala chai and king-sized bun while enjoying harbor views. Later, catch the evocative light show at Light & Sound Garden (if available) or, if you prefer quieter company, head to Jolly Buoy Viewpoint for star-gazing and a laid-back seafood dinner at a small beachside stall-both keep you close to lodging and set up an easy start for tomorrow's market run or ferry plans.
Catch an early ferry from Port Blair jetty and, on arrival at Havelock, drop bags at a budget guesthouse then rent a bicycle or shared scooter to explore-stop first at Vijaynagar Beach for a quiet shoreline walk and tidepool exploration. Next, pedal to Kalapathar Beach for striking black-rock contrasts and excellent snorkeling from the shore; finish the morning with a fresh coconut and a seafood thali at the small beachside eatery Shri Ganesh Bhojnalay to fuel the afternoon's adventures.
After a relaxed morning at Vijaynagar Beach and Kalapathar Beach, rent a shared auto or cycle toward the island's quieter west side and stop at Govt. Jetty Market (Havelock Bazaar) to pick up fresh snacks and chilled coconut water for the afternoon. Continue to Radhanagar viewpoint (upper deck) for a pre-sunset stroll along shaded trails, then explore the nearby shallow lagoon at Beach No. 7-rent a snorkel set from a local vendor, look for colorful reef fish close to shore, and finish the afternoon with a simple seafood snack from Madras Cafe before positioning yourself for the famous sunset at Radhanagar Beach.
After the Radhanagar sunset, drift into a relaxed island evening by heading to Sundowner Cafe (Beach No. 7 lane) for chilled tender coconut mocktails and a simple seafood grill while listening to local acoustic music. Later, wander the lantern-lit path toward Vijaynagar Night Market (small stalls that open in high season) to sample sweet coconut pancakes and pick up handmade shell trinkets, then finish with a quiet walk under the stars back to your guesthouse, enjoying the soft sound of waves and island breeze.
Start with a sunrise snorkel trip from Havelock Jetty (shared glass-bottom boat options keep costs low), landing at Elephant Beach to swim among shallow coral gardens and spot parrotfish and butterflyfish with a rented mask and lifevest. After water time, head to Beach No. 5 (Laxmanpur stretch) for a peaceful shoreline walk, tide-pool exploration and a budget-friendly breakfast of fresh coconut and fried local fish at a small beach stall, setting you up for an easy afternoon at Kalapathar later in the day.
Pedal or take a shared auto to Vijaynagar Beach for a lazy snorkel from the rocky headland and tidepool spotting-watch for small reef fish and crabs while enjoying a chilled coconut from a beach vendor. Later, head to Beach No. 3 (Govind Nagar stretch) to kayak a short distance along the shoreline, rest on quiet sandbars, and finish with a simple thali at Madras Cafe Extension while soaking in a warm, late-afternoon light before the evening Radhanagar plans.
Wind down the day's water adventures with a slow twilight visit to Beach No. 4 (Govind Nagar stretch) for shell-collecting and watching fishermen bring in their evening catch, then pop into Full Moon Cafe nearby for a budget-friendly grilled fish platter and chilled lime soda while enjoying live acoustic music. Finish with a peaceful, lantern-lit walk to Ramnagar Jetty viewpoint to watch bioluminescent shimmer (season permitting) and plan a relaxed early start for tomorrow's return trip to Port Blair.
After an easy ferry back to Port Blair, head to Chatham Bazar for a lively local morning-browse fresh catch at the fish market, pick up ready-to-eat steamed rice dumplings and khichdi from a roadside vendor, and grab chilled coconut water to refresh. Then walk to Sagarika Boat House area to book any last-minute boat or museum tickets, snap a few final harbour photos from the jetty, and stop at New Lighthouse Canteen for a hearty budget-friendly breakfast thali before checking luggage and moving toward your departure preparations.
Take a relaxed afternoon exploring Aberdeen Bazaar's side lanes for last-minute bargain hunting of shell jewellery and local spices, then pop into Sagarika Emporium Annex (different stalls from the morning jetty area) to compare souvenirs and pick up boxed sweets for the journey. After shopping, enjoy a budget-friendly seafood lunch at Hotel Shompen's canteen or a nearby dhaba, followed by a short, calming visit to Chidiyatapu viewpoint (if time allows) for one final panoramic shoreline view before returning to your guesthouse to collect bags and head to the airport or ferry terminal.
Spend a relaxed evening strolling through Marine Hill Road where small cafés and bakeries serve inexpensive snacks-stop at Bharat Bakery for fresh buns and filter coffee while watching locals unwind. Afterward, visit the lively M.G. Road Night Market to pick up last-minute affordable handicrafts and spice packets, then finish with a quiet, budget-friendly dinner of crab curry at Gagan Restaurant before a final walk along the calm Aberdeen Jetty promenade to watch the lights on the harbor and prepare for an early transfer.
