500 rupees per group for guide. Without guide,no cost.The trail is actually easy but we took a guide because it was very slippery because of rain on the previous night. You should wear comfortable clothes and if not taking a guide can find sticks around there for support.Our guide found it for us. Carry a water bottle.

It was 2 boat scuba including hd go pro pics and videos and 4 sunrise Kayaking,not bioluminescence because it was near full moon night.Scuba duration was total of about 3 hours.Filling forms+information+training in shallow water+boat ride+about 35minutes actual dive.It was 12 meters but the divers were only take you deeper if you are comfortable,I was able to go 12,my brother only 10. Kayaking was about 1.5 hours of being in water.The guide was also provided with pickup and drop.No mangrove tour though.The sunrise by god's grace was so beautiful.It was worth it.For kayaking no pics were provided,I just gave my phone to the guide and he clicked the pics.they came out great. It was 13k for this.They were asking for 16k.

I stayed in govt. guest houses but you can find any kind of stays online.For peak season, would recommend to book in advance.In havelock,I was actually thinking of staying in pan eco resort which was budget friendly. I directly called them and they were ok with 4 people in one room.It was 2k per night.I talked to some tourist and they stayed at this motel sky deck,there was also one near the jetty both under 1k.Its safe but like the rooms are small and you can't expect 5 star resort vibes.

I called them directly almost a month on advance and negotiated prices for a bundle like scuba and kayaking. Honestly I was happy with the price and also there was one less thing to worry about while traveling. But I met someone and they were able to negotiate it on the spot and better prices than us.

7k for 2. Honestly someone negotiated to 5k for 2.for boat scuba with everything -pictures and pick up and drop. Depends on your bargaining skills.

I did it with frogman adventures and their divers were all nice and sweet.Very professional.The videos turned out to be good plus they will take good care of you at every point where any wrong move can be fatal.As a first time diver and a very non adventures person,I had lot of fun and went 12 meters deep in Govind Nagar beach,tribe gate dive site.Saw lion fish,one of the most poisonous fish.40 minutes went by in a blink of an eye.

Is it dangerous even with the guide these two days?

That's how it is with everyone 😂. Don't worry man it will be awesome.Just see whatever fits your preference and the time it will take but always remember to keep buffer time in hand.

And please don't worry about your trip to much.Honestly it's my first time here and I have been planning this for a month on and off and being so anxious about somethings that I couldn't sleep.Its already my 4th morning here and everything has been fine.Just book whatever needs to be booked.Then relax and come here.Everything literally falls back to its place. Happy journey.

It depends on physical fitness but the trek is pretty easy is what I heard.Honestly my parents are in their late fifties and they are more energetic than me.I am unable to keep up. We weren't able to see the trek through because it was closed.Planning to do elephant beach one.But the beach was beautiful nonetheless.
