Chidiyatapu Sunset Beach Escape 3N/4D — 3 Nights / 4 Days
A 3 nights 4 days Andaman beach escape through Port Blair and Havelock, with the Cellular Jail, Elephant Beach snorkelling, Radhanagar at sunset and a Chidiyatapu evening.
About this itinerary
Three nights that pair the two main islands with one quieter corner most short trips skip. Port Blair holds the first and last nights for the Cellular Jail and the Light and Sound show, with a Havelock night in between for the beaches.
You snorkel the shallow corals off Elephant Beach and catch the sunset at Radhanagar, then on the way back to Port Blair drive out to Chidiyatapu for its birds and a sunset over the mangroves. The pace stays easy, and the water sports stay optional add-ons.
