North Bay Islands

The breathtaking natural beauty of its multicolored coral reefs makes North Bay Island a major tourist attraction. Also worth watching is the wide variety of underwater marine life in the waters around the island, which can also be seen riding a glass-bottom boat.

The coral reefs surrounding the islands are a natural wonder and a must-watch. Known for its white-sand beaches, North Bay Island is the ultimate destination for scuba diving and snorkeling. 

It is just 8 kilometers from Port Blair by boat/ferry. So, if you want to visit this place, make sure it has already been added to your Andaman Nicobar tour package.

Havelock Island    /  (Swarajdweep )

Tourists flock to Havelock Island to enjoy its natural beauty and savor its magnificent white sand beaches, be it Elephant beach, Radhanagar Beach, Kalapathar Beach, or Vijay Nagar beach. As a part of Andaman tourist packages, a trip to the island includes enjoying the happening nightlife on the island with its many pubs.

One of the must-do activities in the Andaman Islands is light and sound shows at Cellular Jail and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island.

Baratang Island

Another unique thing to do for tourists in the Andaman Islands is to visit the mud volcanoes at Baratang island. This is a natural phenomenon where mud bursts out due to the formation of gases and liquids in the earth’s interior.

Neil Island

Also known as Shaheed Dweep, Neil Island is one of the most deserted islands in the Andamans. It is famed for its tranquil white-sand beaches, named after various characters from the epic Ramayana, such as Laxmanpur, Ramnagar, Sitapur, and Bharatpur beach. Their fruit and vegetable cultivation is also famous. The island is a great scuba diving and snorkeling destination due to its renowned coral reefs. Along with Havelock Island, Neil Island is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Andaman tour packages.

Ross Island

Ross Island is the third leg of the golden triangle of tourist attractions in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, alongside Neil Island and Havelock Islands. Though small in size, the island is famed for its beaches and rich history.

Tourists visiting Ross Island can see the remains of a penal colony developed during British colonial rule. Most buildings, including a church and offices, are still standing but are now covered with local flora. These were built by prisoners who were mostly freedom fighters against the British colonists. Tourists can also attend a light and sound show on the island held in the evening, especially if it is included in the Andaman tourist packages.
