The Real Stops Along the Way
2 of your 4days — the full day-by-day plan follows below.
Day 2 · Havelock Island
Radhanagar Beach — Once Named Asia's Best
A full day at Radhanagar Beach, on Havelock's western shore. Time magazine named it Asia's best beach in 2004, and it has kept its Blue Flag certification for cleanliness and safety since. The sand runs pale and fine, backed by dense island forest that stays green right down to the shoreline. Late afternoon is the best time to be here, as the light turns gold before sunset over the water.
Day 3 · Havelock Island
Elephant Beach — Snorkeling & Reef Diving
A boat ride to Elephant Beach, reachable only by water — there's no road in. The reef just offshore is one of the healthiest in the Andamans, with clear, shallow water that suits first-time snorkellers as well as certified divers. Boat operators provide snorkeling gear as part of the trip. The afternoon is left free for the beach itself, generally quieter than Radhanagar.
Also On This Trip — Inter-Island Ferry
Getting Between the Islands
A high-speed catamaran connects the islands on this route, with reserved seating booked as part of your trip.
Port Blair → Havelock Island · Makruzz
Port Blair to Havelock Island Ferry
Makruzz has run high-speed catamaran ferries through the Andamans since 2009 — the largest such fleet in the islands, with three vessels covering more than ten daily connections between Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island. The Port Blair to Havelock crossing takes roughly ninety minutes to two and a half hours depending on the vessel and sea conditions, covering open water between Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair's official name since 2023) and Swaraj Dweep, as Havelock Island is now officially known. Air-conditioned cabins, assigned seating, and an onboard snack counter make the crossing comfortable rather than a logistics chore — for most travellers, this ferry is the only way to reach Havelock's beaches at all.

4 Days, In Full
Every day, start to finish — including the transfers the sightseeing chapter above skipped.
Port Blair → Havelock Island
Arrival & Fast Transfer to Havelock Island
Private airport pickup on arrival in Port Blair, then straight onto a ferry bound for Havelock Island. This route skips Cellular Jail and the city's other sights, trading them for more time on the water. The crossing takes around ninety minutes by fast ferry. By afternoon you're checked into your Havelock resort, with the rest of the day free to settle in or walk the beach. No fixed schedule — just an early start and a fast finish to Port Blair's arrival formalities.

Havelock Scuba Diving — The Andamans' Dive Hub
Havelock Island is the Andamans' main PADI diving hub, and this day is built around it. Dive sites here include Nemo Reef, Tribe Gate, The Wall, and Dixon Pinnacle, each with its own reef structure and marine life. A private dive operator handles equipment and briefing, with options for certified divers and first-timers doing an introductory dive. Two dives is the typical day, with a surface break between them. Non-divers can snorkel the same waters from the boat instead.
