Havelock Neil Adventure 2N/3D — 2 Nights / 3 Days
A fast 2 nights 3 days island-hopper across the two most visited islands. One night on Havelock for Radhanagar Beach, one night on Neil for Bharatpur and the Howrah Bridge, with three ferry legs over the trip.
About this itinerary
This one trades slow mornings for coverage. In two nights you touch both of the popular islands, Havelock and Neil, moving by ferry on all three legs. It is the most beaches and rock formations you can fit into three days, but it is a full schedule, not a lazy one.
Day 1 crosses to Havelock for a Radhanagar sunset and its easy nightlife. Day 2 hops to Neil for Bharatpur Beach, the Howrah Bridge at low tide and a Laxmanpur sunset. Day 3 returns to Port Blair for the flight. It suits groups and active travellers who would rather see more than linger.
Day-by-day itinerary
Every day below can be moved, shortened or swapped. Replanning is free — you only pay the difference in what you change.

Arrival in Port Blair and Transfer to Havelock Island

Hotels on this package
Rooms are held on twin sharing with daily breakfast. Switch the category to see the properties it puts you in — the tab you pick here also sets the price shown at the top of the page and on the enquiry form.
The base category — comfortable, well-run properties in walkable locations, picked for reliable power, water and staff more than for the view.
| Island | Nights | Standard category | Room |
|---|---|---|---|
| Havelock | 1 | Bowfin Resort or similar | Standard, twin sharing |
| Neil | 1 | Blue Bird Residency or similar | Deluxe, twin sharing |
Before you travel
- Arrive at Veer Savarkar Airport, Port Blair by 12 PM on Day 1, preferably by a morning flight, to catch the ferry to Havelock. The last ferry departs at 1:30 PM. After that there are no ferries to Havelock from Phoenix Bay.
- On Day 3, ferries from Neil to Port Blair operate from 9:00 AM onwards. Book a return flight at 1:00 PM or later so the transfer is unhurried.
- This is a fast-paced itinerary with a ferry every day. Inter-island sailings are fixed and limited, so the day plan follows the ferry times. If tight timings worry you, a 3 night version with a night each on Havelock and Neil is calmer.
- The Howrah Bridge on Neil is reachable only at low tide, and the rocks are slippery, so the exact timing on Day 2 depends on the tide. Wear shoes with a strong grip, ideally waterproof.
- Water sports at Bharatpur (diving, banana boat, sofa ride and similar) are payable directly or can be taken as add-ons and depend on weather and sea conditions.
- Breakfast is included on Day 2 and Day 3. Any meal not listed is payable directly.

Questions about this package
Yes, but it is a fast trip with a ferry every day. You get a Radhanagar sunset, Bharatpur Beach and the Howrah Bridge, with little idle time. For a calmer pace, a 3 night version adds room.
Three: Port Blair to Havelock on Day 1, Havelock to Neil on Day 2, and Neil to Port Blair on Day 3. All three are booked and held on confirmation.
Only at low tide, so the exact time on Day 2 depends on the tide that day. The rocks are slippery, so wear shoes with a strong grip.
It is better suited to groups and active travellers. The daily ferry moves can tire very young children or elderly guests, who may prefer a single-island trip.
Diving, banana boat, sofa ride and similar activities, all payable directly and weather-dependent. The shallow, coral-rich water also suits snorkelling and non-swimmers.
October to May, when seas are calm and ferries run reliably. June to September raises the chance of cancellations, which hits a three-leg trip harder.
