Andaman family tour package FAQs
How many days are enough for an Andaman trip with family?
Five nights and six days is enough for a first family trip. It covers Port Blair, Havelock and Neil with one free day, so children and older parents aren't rushed. With 4 nights you would have to drop Neil Island or the free day on Havelock.
What is included in this Andaman tour package for family?
The package covers hotel stays, daily breakfast, Makruzz ferry tickets for all three crossings, a private cab for airport, jetty and sightseeing transfers, and the sightseeing listed in the itinerary. The Elephant Beach boat, water sports, entry tickets and lunches or dinners are paid separately unless your quote says otherwise. Flights to Port Blair are booked by you.
Is Andaman good for a family holiday with kids?
Andaman works very well for children. Radhanagar Beach has shallow water and lifeguards, Corbyn's Cove is an easy walk from the car, and the glass-bottom boat at Elephant Beach lets small kids see coral without getting wet. Most drives on the islands are under 30 minutes.
What is the best time to visit Andaman with family?
October to May is the best time, when the sea is calm and the ferries run on schedule. November to February has the most comfortable weather and is the busiest season, so book early. June to September is monsoon, when some ferries and water sports can be cancelled.
Is this tour comfortable for elderly parents?
The tour suits most older travellers. The ferries have air-conditioned seating, the cab takes you close to each beach, and the plan has rest time built in. Jetties do involve a short walk and a few steps, so let us know about any mobility needs and we'll plan around them.
How long are the ferry rides between the islands?
Port Blair to Havelock takes about 1.5 hours on Makruzz. Havelock to Neil is shorter, about an hour, and Neil back to Port Blair is around 1.5 hours. Carry snacks and motion-sickness tablets for children who feel queasy on boats.
Can children do water sports at Elephant Beach?
Children can join some activities. The glass-bottom boat is fine for all ages, while snorkelling and sea walking have minimum age and health rules set by the operators. Our team will tell you what each child can do before you go.
Do Indian families need a permit for Port Blair, Havelock and Neil?
Indian citizens don't need a permit for Port Blair, Havelock or Neil Island. Carry a photo ID for every adult, as it is checked at the airport and the ferry jetties. Children should carry an Aadhaar card or a school ID.
Can we change hotels or add a day to this family package?
You can change it. Choose Standard, Deluxe or Premium hotels, add a night in Port Blair or Havelock, or add trips like Ross Island and North Bay. We'll send a revised price for your group.
How early should we book an Andaman family package?
For travel between mid-December and mid-January, book two to three months ahead, since hotels and Makruzz seats fill up fast. For other months, four to six weeks is usually enough.
