Coral Coast Havelock Escape 4N/5D — 4 Nights / 5 Days
A 4 nights 5 days Andaman escape that begins on Havelock with Radhanagar, then settles in Port Blair for Ross Island, the North Bay corals and Chidiya Tapu.
About this itinerary
Four nights built for an easy pace, with Havelock up front so nobody spends day one travelling to the beach. The island opens the trip, and Radhanagar fills the next morning before the crossing back.
Port Blair holds the last three nights with a gentle rhythm: a harbour-boat morning at Ross Island and the shallow corals of North Bay, and a late-afternoon run to Chidiya Tapu for the birds and the sunset. The short days and calm water suit families and first-timers.
Day-by-day itinerary

| Havelock | 1 | Bowfin Resort or similar | Standard, twin sharing |

- Breakfast is included as per itinerary. Any meal not listed for a day is payable directly.

Havelock for the first night, then Port Blair for three. You see Radhanagar on Havelock and Ross Island, North Bay and Chidiya Tapu around Port Blair.
Flights land at Veer Savarkar Airport (Sri Vijaya Puram), direct from some metros and connecting from others, usually via Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi or Kolkata. Day 1 begins in Port Blair, so a morning or early afternoon landing fits the plan.
Yes. The days are short, North Bay has shallow corals and a glass-bottom boat for non-swimmers, and starting on Havelock keeps the long ferry out of the tiring end of the trip.
Yes. The Port Blair to Havelock and Havelock to Port Blair ferries are booked and held once your trip is confirmed.
A full Havelock day for Radhanagar plus the easy coral stop at North Bay, with Chidiya Tapu for the sunset. It is relaxed rather than packed.
