Destination guide
Know before you go
Popular for White sand beaches, snorkelling and the cellular jail history
What you can do
- See Cellular Jail and stay for the evening light and sound show
- Take the ferry to Swaraj Dweep for Radhanagar beach, best at sunset
- Snorkel or try a discovery dive at Elephant beach or off Shaheed Dweep
- Book the government ferry or a private catamaran early, seats sell out in season
Food to try
Seafood is the point: grilled fish, crab and prawns, with a South Indian and Bengali base to most menus. Port Blair has the widest choice, and the islands are simpler, so keep expectations modest and the fish fresh.
Culture & customs
The islands carry two histories, the colonial prison that held Indian freedom fighters, and the indigenous tribes whose reserved areas are legally closed to visitors. Respect the restrictions completely and do not attempt contact.
Best time to visit
October to May
Seas are calmest and clearest from November to April, which is also when ferries run most reliably. May to September brings monsoon swell and cancelled crossings.
