Day 1 in full

Your driver meets you inside the arrivals area at Veer Savarkar airport holding a name board, so there is no hunting around outside. Transfer to the hotel takes roughly fifteen minutes. Most flights land mid morning, which leaves the afternoon free for Cellular Jail. We time the visit so you finish the museum wings before the light fades, then move to Corbyn's Cove for sunset. The Light and Sound Show begins after dark and runs about an hour, and the English show fills up first, so we book it in advance.

Day 2 in full

Ferries to Havelock leave early, so expect a pickup around two hours before departure. Government ferries are cheaper but slower, private cruises take around ninety minutes and are far more comfortable in choppy water. We book the private option in this package. Once you land, the hotel is a short drive from the jetty. Radhanagar is at its best in the last two hours before sunset, when the crowds thin out and the light turns gold across the sand bar.

Day 3 in full

Elephant Beach is reached by a twenty minute boat ride from Havelock jetty. The reef sits close to shore, so snorkelling here suits people who have never done it before. Instructors are certified and life jackets are provided. You will have around three hours at the beach before the boat returns. After lunch we move you to the jetty for the afternoon crossing to Neil Island, which takes about an hour.

Day 4 in full

Neil is small enough to cover comfortably in a day. Bharatpur is calm and shallow, good for swimming and glass bottom boat rides. Laxmanpur faces west and is the sunset stop. The Natural Bridge is only reachable at low tide, so the order of these three shifts depending on the tide chart for your dates. Your driver will know the timings on the morning itself.

Day 5 in full

Mount Harriet is the part most operators skip. It involves an early start and a vehicle ferry crossing, but the view over the archipelago from the top is the one people remember. Back in Port Blair, the Anthropological and Samudrika museums are both compact and worth an hour each, particularly if you want context on the indigenous communities of the islands.

Day 6 in full

Checkout is at eleven, and we schedule the airport drop around two hours before your flight. If you have a late departure we can hold your luggage and arrange a short city stop, or extend the room for a few hours at a reduced rate. Just tell us your flight time when you book.
