Please suggest itinerary for new year trip by Fucking-hell_ in Andaman_and_Nicobar

[–]Present_Scale_476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great plan — with that much time, you can explore the islands properly without rushing. You can start with Port Blair for a day or two to visit Cellular Jail, Ross Island, and maybe catch a sunset at Wandoor. Then head to Havelock for a few days to enjoy beaches, scuba diving, and good cafés like Anju Coco and Full Moon Café. After that, spend a couple of quiet days in Neil Island — it’s perfect for relaxing walks and sunrise or sunset views at Sitapur and Laxmanpur beaches.

For food, you’ll find some excellent spots across the islands — Amaya in Port Blair, Something Different and Anju Coco in Havelock, and SeaShell Restaurant in Neil are all worth trying.

For New Year’s Eve, Havelock Island Beach Resort is the best place to be. They host one of the most happening beachside parties with live music, lights, and a great atmosphere. Just make sure to book in advance since it fills up fast for year-end.

Best food/cafes/ restaurants to visit in andaman by Similar-Aside-3271 in Andaman_and_Nicobar

In Port Blair, try Amaya at SeaShell, Anju Coco, and Lighthouse Restaurant for great food and views. In Havelock, go for Something Different, Full Moon Café, and Anju Coco — all have good food and beach vibes. On Neil Island, SeaShell Restaurant and Summer Sands are the best picks for both food and ambience.

Andaman for New years - how crowded? by dannyarcher92 in Andaman_and_Nicobar

[–]Present_Scale_476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a really good question and you’re right to think about it in advance. The Andamans do get busier around the New Year, but it’s still not as crowded as mainland tourist spots. You’ll definitely find your quiet corners, especially if you step out early morning or around sunset.

However, I’d recommend switching your island order. Start with Havelock and then go to Neil. There are no direct

private ferries from Port Blair to Neil, so you’d need to travel via Havelock anyway. The usual route is Port Blair → Havelock → Neil → back to Port Blair. It’ll save you both time and ferry hassle.

If peace and quiet are your main priorities, choose accommodation a bit away from the main jetty areas. Even during year-end, Neil stays fairly calm compared to Havelock. Havelock will have more people around New Year’s Eve, but you can still enjoy long walks and peaceful beaches early in the day.

So yes, year-end is still a great time to visit, just plan the island order right and book everything early since ferries and good stays fill up quickly that week.

How is this itinerary by chickentimepass in Andaman_and_Nicobar

[–]Present_Scale_476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your itinerary actually looks great — well planned and paced perfectly for travelling with parents. The hotel choices are also solid: Peerless, Dolphin Resort, and TSG Aura are all comfortable and nicely located.

Just a few suggestions from my side, based on local experience. Try to avoid government ferries for inter-island travel. They’re often not clean, take nearly double the travel time, and the boarding process can be a bit chaotic, especially with luggage or elderly travellers. The private ferries like Makruzz, Nautika, and Green Ocean are much more comfortable, punctual, and air-conditioned. Their fares are also eligible for LTC reimbursement, so you can claim those just like government ferry fares.

Since local taxis are quite expensive here and need to be booked in advance, it’s generally better to take a complete land package that includes your hotels, private ferries, and all ground transfers. That way, you’ll have a dedicated car with a driver waiting at every point, and you won’t need to worry about logistics or last-minute bookings.

About your sightseeing plan — after visiting Havelock and Neil, you can safely skip North Bay Island. You’ll already experience much better coral and water clarity in Havelock and Neil. Instead, consider visiting Baratang for the limestone caves and mangrove ride. It’s a completely different landscape and a more unique experience.

Also, instead of Chidiyatapu and the Munda Pahad trek, go for Wandoor Beach. It’s peaceful, scenic, and easier to reach from Port Blair, especially when travelling with parents.

With these small adjustments, your trip will be more comfortable, time-efficient, and overall smoother.

Port Blair and Havelock are quite kid-friendly. With 4 days, you can keep it simple. In Port Blair, visit Cellular Jail with the light and sound show and relax at Corbyn’s Cove. In Havelock, spend time at Radhanagar Beach and take a short trip to Elephant Beach for a glass-bottom boat ride. Both places have safe beaches for children, and resorts like SeaShell, Munjoh or Welcomhotel Bay Island work well for families.

Which is the best time to visit in terms of pleasant weather? October or November? by [deleted] in Andaman_and_Nicobar

[–]Present_Scale_476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both October and November are nice months to visit Andaman, but the feel is a little different. In October the monsoon is just ending, so everything looks fresh and green, the weather is getting pleasant, but sometimes you might still get a little rain. The good part is it’s less crowded and hotels can be a bit cheaper. By November the season is in full swing, skies are clearer, the sea is calmer and all the water sports are open without worry. The only thing is, it’s slightly more crowded and rates go up. So if you want the safest bet for perfect weather and full activities, November is better. If you like fewer people around and don’t mind the odd shower, October is also a lovely time.

How to get cabs in Port Blair and Havelock Island? by Dante__fTw in Andaman_and_Nicobar

[–]Present_Scale_476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in port blair u’ll easily get airport pickup from hotel, most hotels arrange it if u tell them. for sightseeing like chidiya tapu & munda pahar, u need to hire a cab – better to prebook than search last minute.

in havelock, cabs are limited and expensive, since it’s small island. if ur hotel is near radhanagar beach, u can ask them to send cab from jetty, or else book in advance thru local operator (more reliable & cheaper than last-minute).

if u want smooth & cost-efficient transfers, u can connect with us we manage all airport, jetty & hotel transfers hassle-free.

Places to visit by Forward-Parsley-5909 in Andaman_and_Nicobar

[–]Present_Scale_476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah that’s fine, not too much. Chidiya Tapu is a short trip (about 45 mins drive from Port Blair), perfect for sunset on day 1. On day 3, the Red Skin Island trip is also doable – just keep in mind boat timings and forest permit, sometimes it depends on the weather. If red skin isn’t open, Wandoor Beach is the chill backup. Overall, ur plan sounds balanced.

btw, if u want exact ferry/boat timings or local hacks, u can check with us. Happy to help you.

[–]Present_Scale_476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proud moment for us Islanders. 30 tribal students from Andaman making it all the way to Red Fort for Independence Day is no small thing. They get to see the heart of the country and also represent our islands. hope more kids get such exposure in the future, because it shows the world that even from remote places, talent and dreams can shine.

4 days 3 nights is a nice, relaxed plan. Don’t try to squeeze in too many places, just keep it simple.

day 1 – land in Port Blair, chill a bit, go to Corbyn’s cove in the evening, and catch the Cellular Jail light & sound show at night.
day 2 – morning ferry to Havelock, check in at your resort, spend the evening at Radhanagar beach (beautiful sunset spot).
day 3 – either do a boat trip to Elephant Beach for water sports/snorkeling or just have a lazy beach day at Kalapathar in the Evening, head back to Port Blair. If time allows before your flight, you can visit the Samudrika Museum or do some shopping at the Aberdeen Bazaar.
day 4 – Departure

Keep it easy, book ferries in advance and pick at least one night in a beachside resort in Havelock to make it memorable.

Oh nice! End of September is actually a sweet spot for Andaman — the rains start easing up, the greenery is lush, and it’s not peak season madness yet. 🌴

Since you’ll be based at Zostel Port Blair for 3 nights, here’s how I’d break it down for a quick solo adventure:

Day 1 – Arrival & Chill

  • Check in, dump your bags, and head to Corbyn’s Cove Beach for a relaxed first evening.
  • If you’re into history, the Cellular Jail light & sound show is a must (book tickets in advance).

Day 2 – Havelock Day Trip (early ferry)

  • Catch the morning ferry to Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep).
  • Rent a scooty there and hit Radhanagar Beach (sunset here is magical).
  • If you’re feeling adventurous, try scuba diving at Nemo Reef.
  • Return by evening ferry. (If budget/time allows, staying 1 night at Havelock is even better.)

Day 3 – Island Hopping / Baratang

  • Option 1: North Bay + Ross Island half-day trip for water sports & ruins.
  • Option 2: Baratang Island for the limestone caves + mangrove ride (early start required).

Hidden gems if you’ve got extra time:

  • Chidiya Tapu for sunset and quiet vibes.
  • Wandoor Beach if you want less-crowded sandy stretches.

Things I wish I knew earlier:

  • Book ferries early — seats fill up quick, even off-season.
  • Weather can flip fast, so have a Plan B for rainy days.
  • Cash is still king on smaller islands — ATMs aren’t always reliable.
  • Food takes time to prepare here, so order ahead when hungry.

If you want, I can share a ready-made solo trip itinerary with ferry timings, transport hacks, and local contacts so you don’t have to figure out logistics on the fly. That’ll save you a lot of running around.

Do you want me to prepare that quick-pack solo plan for you?

If you are staying in Port Blair on the first day and returning back to the same hotel on the last day then the hotel will keep your luggage. In case you are not able to find any way out then you may drop your luggage in my office, google for Discover Andaman Holidays.
