Andaman Complete – Three Islands Escape (5N/6D)

Arrival at Veer Savarkar International Airport → Hotel Check-in → Cellular Jail → Light & Sound Show → Corbyn's Cove

Your Andaman holiday begins with your arrival at Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair, the principal air gateway to the Andaman Islands. After completing the arrival formalities, meet your representative/driver and proceed towards your hotel.

The first day is designed to introduce you to both the history and coastal character of Port Blair. After check-in and some time to freshen up, proceed for a visit to the historic Cellular Jail, one of the most important landmarks associated with India's freedom struggle.

The Cellular Jail, popularly known as Kala Pani, was constructed during the British period and became associated with the imprisonment of Indian freedom fighters. The architecture and surviving cells provide an insight into the difficult conditions experienced by political prisoners during the colonial era.

In the evening, attend the Cellular Jail Light & Sound Show, an experience that uses narration, lighting and music to present the history of the prison and the freedom struggle. Thrillophilia's current Andaman package information also highlights the Light & Sound Show as a key Port Blair experience.

After the show, depending on the operating schedule and available time, continue towards Corbyn's Cove Beach, one of the easily accessible beaches near Port Blair. Enjoy a relaxed walk along the coast and take in the tropical surroundings before returning to your hotel.

The evening can be kept relaxed after your flight, allowing you to rest before the early ferry journey to Havelock the following morning.

Later in the afternoon, proceed towards Radhanagar Beach, one of the most celebrated beaches on Havelock Island. The beach is known for its broad stretch of white sand, tropical vegetation and clear blue waters.

Havelock → Elephant Beach Excursion → Snorkelling & Optional Water Sports → Leisure

After breakfast, prepare for one of the most exciting days of your Andaman Island tour with an excursion to Elephant Beach.

Elephant Beach is known for its clear coastal waters, coral-rich marine environment and opportunities for water-based experiences. It is particularly popular among travellers interested in experiencing the underwater side of the Andaman Islands.

Depending on the operational arrangements and sea conditions, Elephant Beach can be accessed by boat or through an alternative local route. The boat journey itself adds to the island experience, with open sea views and the opportunity to appreciate Havelock's tropical coastline.

Once at Elephant Beach, spend time relaxing by the shore or participate in optional activities.

Optional Water Activities

Snorkelling:

One of the most popular experiences at Elephant Beach is snorkelling. With appropriate local guidance and suitable sea conditions, travellers can explore shallow marine areas and observe coral and tropical fish. Thrillophilia currently identifies Elephant Beach as a major snorkelling location in Havelock.

Jet Skiing:

Travellers looking for a more energetic experience can opt for jet skiing, subject to local availability and weather conditions.

Banana Boat Ride:

A fun group activity suitable for travellers looking for a short adventure on the water, subject to operator availability.

Sea Walk / Other Marine Experiences:

Additional marine activities may be available depending on the day's operating conditions and government/local regulations.

After enjoying the beach and selected activities, return to Havelock and proceed back to your hotel.

The evening is deliberately kept free. Relax at the resort, explore the nearby beach or enjoy a quiet dinner after your day of island activities.

Approx. Boat Journey: Around 20–30 minutes each way, subject to boarding point and sea conditions

Approx. Excursion Duration: 3–5 hours depending on activities

Note: Water sports are optional and generally subject to additional charges, weather conditions, safety restrictions and local operator availability.

Overnight: Havelock Island

Meals: Breakfast

Begin your morning with a relaxed breakfast at your hotel or resort in Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep). After breakfast, complete the check-out formalities and prepare for your onward journey to Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), one of the quieter and more scenic islands in the Andaman archipelago.

Proceed towards the Havelock jetty for your scheduled ferry to Neil Island. The ferry journey usually takes around 1–2 hours, depending on the ferry operator, sailing schedule and sea conditions. As the boat moves across the Andaman Sea, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding waters and smaller islands. Ferry schedules are subject to weather conditions and operational changes, so the confirmed sailing time should be checked in advance.

Upon arrival at Neil Island, meet your local transfer representative and proceed towards your hotel or resort. Complete the check-in formalities and, depending on the arrival time, take some time to freshen up before beginning your island sightseeing.

Visit Natural Bridge

Your island exploration can begin with a visit to the famous Natural Bridge, also known as the Howrah Bridge. This naturally formed rock structure is one of Neil Island's most distinctive attractions and has been shaped over many years by coastal erosion and the movement of the sea.

The area around the Natural Bridge is particularly interesting during low tide, when the rocky shoreline becomes accessible and visitors can observe the natural formations more clearly. Depending on the tide and sea conditions, you may also see small marine creatures, colourful shells and other forms of intertidal life around the rocks.

Take some time to walk along the shoreline, enjoy the coastal landscape and capture photographs of the unique rock formation. Since the rocks can become slippery, comfortable footwear and caution are recommended, especially around the water's edge.

Visit Bharatpur Beach

Continue to Bharatpur Beach, one of the most popular beaches on Neil Island and a beautiful place to enjoy the island's clear turquoise waters and sandy coastline. The beach is known for its relatively calm surroundings and scenic views, making it ideal for a relaxed afternoon by the sea.

Depending on the season, weather and operational availability of local activity providers, visitors may have the opportunity to enjoy optional water-based activities such as glass-bottom boat rides, snorkeling or other marine experiences. These activities are generally subject to sea conditions, local regulations and availability on the day of the visit.

If you prefer a slower experience, simply relax on the beach, enjoy the sea breeze and take in the peaceful island atmosphere. Bharatpur Beach is also a wonderful location for photography, particularly when the sunlight creates different shades of blue across the shallow coastal waters.

Relax by the Beach

After sightseeing, keep the remainder of the day comparatively relaxed. Neil Island is known for its laid-back atmosphere, and this is a good opportunity to slow down after the previous days of island exploration and ferry travel.

Spend some leisure time at the beach, return to your resort for relaxation or explore the nearby surroundings at an easy pace. You can enjoy the sunset, sit by the shoreline or simply unwind at your hotel while experiencing the quieter side of the Andaman Islands.

The evening is free for personal activities. Guests can enjoy a relaxed dinner at the resort or explore a nearby local restaurant, depending on the location of the hotel and available dining options.

This day combines a scenic inter-island ferry journey with some of Neil Island's most recognizable natural attractions, while still allowing sufficient time to enjoy the peaceful coastal environment without rushing from one activity to another.
