BeachesIslandsScuba DivingNature

The Andaman Islands are India's tropical frontier — powder-white beaches, glassy turquoise lagoons and some of the country's best coral reefs, scattered across the Bay of Bengal. Radhanagar Beach on Havelock regularly ranks among Asia's finest, and the diving and snorkelling here are world-class.

Best time to visit Andaman & Nicobar

October to May is the best time to visit the Andamans, with calm seas, clear water and sunny skies ideal for beaches and diving. The monsoon (June–September) brings rougher seas and more rain, though it's greener and quieter.

Top things to do in Andaman & Nicobar

  • Relax on Radhanagar Beach, Havelock — regularly rated Asia's best
  • Scuba dive or snorkel over living coral reefs
  • Take the glass-bottom boat and sea walk at North Bay
  • Learn the poignant history at the Cellular Jail, Port Blair
  • Snorkel and sunbathe at Elephant Beach
  • Island-hop to Neil (Shaheed Dweep) for a slower pace
  • Catch the light-and-sound show at the Cellular Jail

Getting between the islands

You'll fly into Port Blair, then take a ferry to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) — the two most beautiful islands. We pre-book the faster private ferries so you don't lose a day to logistics.

Diving for beginners

You don't need a licence to try scuba here — introductory 'discover scuba' dives let first-timers experience the reef with an instructor. Certified divers get access to some superb deeper sites.

Insider tip: Book Havelock's ferries and top resorts well ahead — the island is small and the best stays sell out fast in peak season.
