Andaman Family Tour from Bangalore 6N/7D — 6 Nights / 7 Days
A 6 nights 7 days Andaman family holiday from Bangalore through Port Blair, Havelock and Neil, built around safe swimming beaches, a glass-bottom boat ride and light water sports the whole family can enjoy.
About this itinerary
Six nights planned for families, moving at an easy pace from Port Blair's history to the islands' calmest beaches. You start with the Cellular Jail and Corbyn's Cove, then a boat day to Ross Island and North Bay, where a glass-bottom boat lets children see the coral without stepping into the water. A relaxed afternoon follows at Chidiyatapu, the quiet southern tip known for its birdlife and sunsets.
From there you cross to Havelock for Radhanagar and an Elephant Beach outing, then finish on Neil with the gentle sands of Bharatpur and Laxmanpur. Sightseeing days are short, swimming spots are shallow and supervised, and the ferries between islands are booked for you. It suits parents travelling with young children, and grandparents too.
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.
