Ross Island Coral Escape 3N/4D — 3 Nights / 4 Days
A 3 nights 4 days Andaman trip that starts straight on Havelock for Radhanagar Beach, then bases in Port Blair for Ross Island and the corals of North Bay.
About this itinerary
Three nights that put the beaches first. You cross to Havelock on arrival for a night by Radhanagar, one of Asia's best-rated beaches, before heading back to base in Port Blair.
From Port Blair, a harbour boat runs out to Ross Island for its colonial ruins and to North Bay for snorkelling, a glass-bottom boat and the reef. The order keeps the long beach day early and the island hopping relaxed, which suits first trips and anyone short on time.
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.
