5 Nights 6 Days Andaman Tour Package — Port Blair, Havelock & Neil Island
Our most complete island-hopping itinerary — colonial history at Cellular Jail, Asia's best beach at Radhanagar, snorkelling at Elephant Beach, the coral gardens and natural rock bridge of Neil Island, and a golden sunset at Chidiya Tapu. Three islands, one seamless journey.
Trip Overview
What this 5N/6D Andaman package is all about
This 5 Nights 6 Days Andaman tour package is our most complete island-hopping itinerary — designed for travellers who want to see all three of Andaman's headline islands without ever feeling rushed. You'll begin in Port Blair, the historic capital, where the solemn Cellular Jail and its evocative Sound & Light Show bring India's freedom struggle to life. A relaxed afternoon at Corbyn's Cove Beach sets the tone for the days ahead.
On Day 2, you'll sail by inter-island ferry to Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) — home to Radhanagar Beach, famously rated "Best Beach in Asia" by TIME Magazine. Day 3 takes you to Elephant Beach for a guided snorkelling experience over live coral reefs, reached by a traditional wooden dunghi boat.
Day 4 adds the highlight most short itineraries miss — a ferry across to Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), a triangular island of paddy fields and banana plantations. You'll explore Bharatpur Beach with its glass-bottom boat rides, the striking Natural Rock Bridge at Laxmanpur, and the sunset shores of Laxmanpur Beach.
You'll return to Port Blair on Day 5 with a visit to Chidiya Tapu — the "Bird Island" at the southern tip of South Andaman, renowned for its sunset point. Day 6 is your departure, with a comfortable transfer to the airport.

Arrive at Veer Savarkar International Airport, Port Blair in the morning, where our representative will meet and greet you. You'll be transferred to your hotel for check-in and a short rest. After lunch, set off for Corbyn's Cove Beach, located about 9 km from the city — a beautiful coconut-palm-fringed beach that is ideal for swimming, sun-bathing, and simply soaking in the island breeze.
Later in the afternoon, proceed to the Cellular Jail Museum — the infamous "Kala Pani" where India's freedom fighters were once imprisoned. In the evening, attend the moving Sound & Light Show at the jail, where the heroic saga of the Indian freedom struggle is brought vividly to life against the backdrop of the historic prison walls.
Early in the morning, you'll be transferred to the Phoenix Bay Jetty for your inter-island ferry to Havelock Island — approximately 57 km by sea from Port Blair. The cruise itself is a highlight, with open-deck views of the Andaman Sea and passing islands.
On arrival at Havelock, check in to your hotel and enjoy a relaxed afternoon at the world-famous Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7). Named the "Best Beach in Asia" by TIME Magazine in 2004 and a recipient of the prestigious Blue Flag Certification, Radhanagar offers powder-soft white sand, calm turquoise water, and one of the most spectacular sunsets in the Indian Ocean.
After breakfast, proceed to the jetty for a short speedboat / dunghi ride to Elephant Beach, located near the eastern coast of Havelock Island. The boat ride itself passes through mangroves and is a memorable part of the experience.
At Elephant Beach, enjoy an adventurous snorkelling session — a leisure water sport where you swim on the surface wearing a face mask and view the vibrant underwater coral gardens teeming with tropical fish. Life jackets and snorkelling gear are provided, and instructors guide beginners throughout. Elephant Beach is also excellent for swimming, sunbathing, and photography.
Please note: Carry your own snacks or packed lunch, drinking water, and a change of clothes. Return to your hotel by late afternoon.
After breakfast, check out from your Havelock hotel and sail by ferry to Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) — a beautiful, triangular-shaped island with plenty of marine life, lush green surroundings, paddy fields, banana plantations, and tropical trees. Its laid-back pace makes it a favourite with travellers who want a quieter side of the Andamans.
Visit Laxmanpur Beach, where you can see the remarkable Natural Rock Bridge — a coral formation shaped over centuries by the sea, best viewed during low tide. Later, head to Bharatpur Beach, ideal for snorkelling and glass-bottom boat rides, where you can see beautiful corals and underwater life without even getting wet. The pristine sandy shores of Bharatpur and Laxmanpur are among the best beaches in the islands to simply explore and unwind.
After breakfast, check out from your Neil Island hotel and board the return ferry to Port Blair. On arrival, you'll be transferred to your hotel for check-in and a short rest.
Later in the afternoon, visit Chidiya Tapu — literally the "Bird Island" — situated at the southernmost tip of South Andaman, around 35 km from Port Blair. Surrounded by lush green mangroves, dense forest cover and numerous chirping birds, the Sylvan Sands and Munda Pahar beaches make it an ideal picnic spot and a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers. The sunset from Chidiya Tapu's rocky shore is widely regarded as one of the finest in the Andaman Islands. Return to your hotel by evening.
The morning is free for packing, last-minute souvenir shopping, or personal activities. Depending on your flight schedule, you'll be transferred to Veer Savarkar International Airport for your onward journey.
As you fly out over the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, you'll carry home memories of historic prisons, Asia's finest beaches, coral reefs, quiet island villages, and sunsets that linger long after you've landed.
