Family Andaman Package 7N/8D — 7 Nights / 8 Days
A 7 nights 8 days Andaman family tour across Port Blair, Neil and Havelock, taking in Ross and North Bay islands, Viper Island, Neil's beaches, Elephant Beach snorkelling, Radhanagar Beach and Mount Harriet.
About this itinerary
A family-paced circuit through the three main islands, opening in Port Blair with a boat trip to Ross, North Bay and Viper islands. From there you cross to Neil for its rock formation and easy beaches, then to Havelock for Elephant Beach snorkelling and Radhanagar.
The trip returns to Port Blair for Kalapathar Beach and a day at Mount Harriet before departure. It balances history, coral and beach time in a way that works for mixed-age groups.

| Neil | 2 | Blue Bird Residency or similar | Deluxe, twin sharing |
| Havelock | 2 | Bowfin Resort or similar | Standard, twin sharing |
Before you travel
- Day 1 stays in Port Blair, so a morning or early afternoon landing works best. Standard hotel check-in in Port Blair is from about 2 PM, with earlier check-in subject to availability.
- Ferry tickets are included and held once your trip is confirmed: the Port Blair to Neil, Neil to Havelock and Havelock to Port Blair ferries. Ferries open bookings 60 to 90 days out and morning slots fill first.
- The Natural Rock Formation at Laxmanpur Beach No 2 on Neil is reachable only at low tide, and the rocks are slippery, so wear footwear with a firm grip.
- The complimentary Elephant Beach snorkelling session cannot be carried to another day and is not refundable if it is unused or if weather prevents it.
- Mount Harriet National Park charges a small entry and camera fee at the gate.
- Breakfast is included from day 2. Any meal not listed for a day is payable directly.
- The island boat trips run subject to weather, sea state and government clearance.
- Water sports beyond the included snorkelling are paid directly at the site. Carry cash, as card and online payments are often unavailable.
