Things to Do in Andaman

Andaman & Nicobar Islands is much more than a beach destination. From exploring colourful coral reefs and scuba diving in clear tropical waters to walking through historic colonial ruins, watching spectacular sunsets, kayaking through mangroves and exploring limestone caves, the islands offer experiences for almost every type of traveller.

Whether you are planning a family holiday, honeymoon, adventure trip, solo journey or relaxed beach vacation, there are plenty of things to do in Andaman.

The best part is that you don't have to choose between adventure and relaxation. You can spend one morning underwater, visit a historic monument in the afternoon and finish the day watching the sunset beside the sea.

This guide covers the best things to do in Andaman, including water sports, beaches, sightseeing, island hopping, adventure activities, nature experiences, historical attractions and family-friendly activities.

1. Go Scuba Diving in Andaman

Scuba diving is one of the best things to do in Andaman if you want to experience the underwater world.

The waters around the islands are home to colourful coral reefs and a variety of marine life. Beginners can take introductory or discover-diving experiences with certified operators, while experienced divers can explore more advanced dive sites depending on conditions and operator availability.

Popular areas for diving include:

• Swaraj Dweep (Havelock)
• Shaheed Dweep (Neil Island)
• North Bay
• Other authorised dive locations

Is scuba diving suitable for beginners?
Yes. You don't necessarily need previous diving experience for a beginner or discover-scuba session, but you should follow the operator's medical, age and safety requirements.

Tip: Don't schedule your flight immediately after diving. Follow the dive operator's recommended surface interval before flying.

2. Try Snorkelling

If scuba diving feels too adventurous, snorkelling is one of the easiest ways to experience Andaman's marine environment.

With a mask, snorkel and life jacket, you can observe shallow-water marine life and coral areas under suitable sea conditions.

Popular areas include:

• Elephant Beach
• Bharatpur Beach
• North Bay
• Other designated snorkelling locations

The official tourism department lists snorkelling among the major water activities available in Andaman.

3. Experience an Underwater Sea Walk

Sea walking is another unique activity for visitors who want to see marine life without learning scuba-diving techniques.

You wear specialised underwater equipment and walk along the seabed while observing fish and coral formations.

North Bay Island is among the destinations associated with sea-walking experiences. The official tourism website also lists Sea Walk as an Andaman activity.

Best for:

• Families
• First-time visitors
• Non-swimmers, subject to operator requirements
• Travellers looking for an unusual underwater experience

4. Go Kayaking

Kayaking in Andaman is an excellent way to explore the quieter side of the islands.

Instead of speeding across the water, kayaking allows you to move slowly through coastal and mangrove environments while enjoying the surrounding nature.

Depending on the location and operator, experiences may include:

• Day kayaking
• Mangrove kayaking
• Sunset kayaking
• Night kayaking
• Bioluminescence-focused kayaking

Bioluminescence experiences are naturally dependent on conditions such as water clarity, weather, moonlight and the presence of bioluminescent organisms, so they should never be treated as a guaranteed spectacle.

5. Visit Radhanagar Beach

Radhanagar Beach on Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island) is one of the most famous beaches in the Andaman Islands.

The beach is known for its:

• White sand
• Turquoise water
• Tropical vegetation
• Beautiful sunsets
• Relaxed atmosphere

The official tourism itinerary includes Radhanagar Beach as one of the key attractions of Swaraj Dweep.

If you are visiting Havelock for the first time, Radhanagar should be high on your list.

6. Explore Elephant Beach

Elephant Beach is one of the most popular places for water activities in Havelock.

Depending on weather and operating conditions, activities may include:

• Snorkelling
• Sea activities
• Boat rides
• Jet skiing
• Banana rides
• Other water sports

The official tourism itinerary specifically recommends Elephant Beach for snorkelling and water sports.

7. Visit Kalapathar Beach

Kalapathar Beach is a quieter coastal destination on Havelock.

It is particularly popular among travellers looking for:

• Peaceful beach walks
• Photography
• Sunrise views
• Fewer crowds
• Relaxation

It is a good alternative when you want to experience Havelock beyond the better-known Radhanagar Beach.

8. Explore Neil Island – Shaheed Dweep

Shaheed Dweep (Neil Island) is ideal for travellers looking for a slower and quieter island experience.

Popular places include:

• Bharatpur Beach: Known for its shallow coastal waters and opportunities for marine activities.
• Laxmanpur Beach: A popular place to enjoy the sunset and explore the rocky coastline.
• Natural Bridge: The Natural Bridge is a distinctive rock formation that is best explored around suitable low-tide conditions.

The official tourism itinerary includes Bharatpur Beach, Lakshmanpur Beach and the Natural Bridge as key attractions of Shaheed Dweep.

9. Visit Cellular Jail

A trip to Andaman is incomplete for many visitors without visiting Cellular Jail.

Also known historically as Kala Pani, the former colonial prison is an important part of India's freedom struggle.

Visitors can explore:

• Prison cells
• Central tower
• Historical exhibits
• Freedom movement displays
• Memorial areas

The official tourism information currently lists general visiting hours of 8:30 AM–4:00 PM, with the Sound & Light Show scheduled from the evening onwards.

10. Watch the Cellular Jail Light & Sound Show

The Cellular Jail Light & Sound Show combines narration, lighting and sound to tell the story of the prison and the freedom struggle.

It is particularly popular with first-time visitors.

Tip: Check the current show schedule when planning your visit because show timings and availability can change.

11. Visit Ross Island

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep, historically known as Ross Island, offers a fascinating combination of history and nature.

The island was once an important British administrative centre.

Today you can explore:

• Colonial ruins
• Old buildings
• Church remains
• Nature trails
• Historical structures
• Island wildlife

The official tourism itinerary combines Ross Island with North Bay as a popular day trip from Sri Vijaya Puram.

12. Explore North Bay Island

North Bay is particularly popular for marine activities and coral viewing.

Activities may include:

• Snorkelling
• Scuba diving
• Glass-bottom boat rides
• Sea walking
• Coral viewing

The official tourism itinerary specifically recommends glass-bottom boat rides and optional snorkelling/scuba diving at North Bay.

13. Take a Glass-Bottom Boat Ride

Don't want to swim or dive?

A glass-bottom boat ride can be a comfortable alternative.

The transparent section of the boat allows passengers to observe underwater coral and marine life without entering the water.

It is especially suitable for:

• Families
• Children
• Senior travellers
• Non-swimmers

14. Explore Baratang Island

If you are looking for something different from beaches, consider a trip to Baratang Island.

Baratang is known for its:

• Limestone caves
• Mangrove forests
• Boat journeys
• Mud volcano
• Natural landscapes

The official tourism itinerary currently includes Baratang's limestone caves, mud volcano and mangrove boat ride in its multi-day Andaman itinerary.

Important: Baratang trips can involve an early start and several hours of travel. It is therefore better suited to travellers who have enough time rather than those on a very short 3–4 day holiday.

15. Visit the Mud Volcano

The Mud Volcano is one of the unusual natural attractions in the Andaman Islands.

Instead of hot lava, mud volcanoes release gases and mud from underground geological processes.

It is often combined with a Baratang excursion.

16. Take a Mangrove Boat Ride

The mangrove journey around Baratang is an experience in itself.

Travelling through narrow waterways surrounded by mangrove vegetation provides a completely different perspective of the islands.

The mangrove ecosystem is also important for coastal protection and biodiversity.

17. Visit Chidiya Tapu

Chidiya Tapu is a popular nature and sunset destination near Sri Vijaya Puram.

It is known for:

• Sunset views
• Birdwatching
• Coastal scenery
• Forest surroundings
• Photography

The name itself is associated with birds, making it an interesting destination for nature lovers.

18. Enjoy Parasailing

For adventure lovers, parasailing offers the opportunity to see the coastline from above.

You are lifted above the water while attached to a parasail and boat.

The official tourism portal currently lists parasailing among the available adventure activities in Andaman.

Always follow the operator's safety instructions and weather restrictions.

19. Ride a Jet Ski

Jet skiing is one of the more exciting ways to experience the Andaman coastline.

It is popular among travellers looking for a short, high-energy water activity.

Availability depends on:

• Weather
• Sea conditions
• Location
• Local operator
• Government regulations

20. Try a Banana Boat Ride

Banana boat rides are particularly popular with groups and families.

Several passengers sit on an inflatable banana-shaped boat pulled behind a speedboat.

It is usually a short activity but can be a lot of fun for groups travelling together.

21. Try a Sofa Ride

A sofa ride is another group water activity in which participants sit on a large inflatable tube pulled by a speedboat.

It is best suited to people comfortable with fast-moving water activities.

22. Try a Submersible Scooter

Submersible scooters allow participants to explore underwater surroundings using specialised equipment.

The official tourism portal currently lists Submersible Scooter among Andaman's activities.

Availability can vary by destination and operating conditions.

23. Visit Samudrika Naval Marine Museum

The Samudrika Naval Marine Museum is a good choice for travellers interested in marine life, island history, geography and culture.

You can see exhibits related to:

• Marine life
• Corals
• Seashells

• History
• People of the islands
• Marine environment

It is particularly suitable for families and children.

24. Visit the Anthropological Museum

The Zonal Anthropological Museum provides an introduction to the indigenous communities and cultural history of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

It is a good educational stop for visitors who want to understand the islands beyond beaches and water sports.

Important: Visitors should never attempt to enter protected tribal areas or make unauthorised contact with indigenous communities. Andaman tourism authorities explicitly state that entering tribal reserves, meeting or photographing protected tribes is prohibited.

25. Explore Chatham Government Saw Mill

The historic Chatham Government Saw Mill is another interesting Port Blair attraction.

Established in 1883, the sawmill provides insight into the island's forestry and industrial heritage.

• Aquatic life of the region

It can easily be combined with other Port Blair museums.

27. Explore Wandoor

Wandoor is a beautiful coastal destination and an important gateway to marine attractions in the region.

The surrounding area is known for:

• Beaches
• Marine ecosystems
• Boat trips
• Nature
• Forest landscapes

It is also associated with the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park area.

28. Enjoy Beach Hopping

If you don't want to spend your holiday doing activities every day, simply explore different beaches.

Some popular beaches and coastal destinations include:

• Radhanagar Beach
• Elephant Beach
• Kalapathar Beach
• Bharatpur Beach
• Laxmanpur Beach
• Sitapur Beach
• Corbyn's Cove
• Wandoor Beach
• Chidiya Tapu

Each beach has a different atmosphere, so beach hopping is an easy way to experience the variety of Andaman's coastline.

29. Watch an Andaman Sunset

You don't need an expensive activity to enjoy Andaman.

Sometimes the best experience is simply sitting beside the sea and watching the sun disappear below the horizon.

Good sunset locations include:

• Radhanagar Beach
• Laxmanpur Beach
• Chidiya Tapu
• Other west-facing beaches depending on local conditions

30. Enjoy Sunrise

Early risers can explore sunrise locations such as:

• Sitapur Beach

Sunrise is also a good time for photography because the beaches can be quieter and temperatures are usually more comfortable.

31. Go Birdwatching

Andaman's forests and coastal habitats support a variety of bird species.

Chidiya Tapu is particularly associated with birdwatching and nature experiences.

Carry binoculars if birdwatching is one of your interests and avoid disturbing wildlife.

32. Enjoy Stargazing and Astro Tourism

The official Andaman tourism website currently lists Astro Tourism & Stargazing among its experiences.

Away from bright urban areas, island evenings can offer opportunities for observing the night sky when weather and visibility are favourable.

For organised stargazing activities, check local availability and schedules.

33. Go Island Hopping

One of the biggest advantages of visiting Andaman is that you don't have to stay on one island.

Depending on your itinerary and ferry availability, popular combinations include:

• Port Blair + Havelock: Best for first-time visitors.
• Port Blair + Havelock + Neil: Best for travellers who want beaches, water activities and a quieter island.
• Port Blair + Baratang: Best for travellers interested in nature and adventure.
• Port Blair + Havelock + Neil + Baratang: Better suited to longer holidays where travel time can be accommodated.

34. Explore Local Markets and Handicrafts

Don't leave Andaman without exploring the local shopping scene.

Look for:

• Coconut-shell handicrafts
• Wooden crafts
• Local souvenirs
• Shell-themed products from authorised sources

• Island-themed gifts

Sagarika Government Emporium is one of the established places to explore local handicrafts and souvenirs.

Important: Avoid buying products made from protected wildlife, coral or illegally collected shells.

Try local and coastal cuisine, including:

• Fresh seafood
• Fish curry
• Prawns
• Crab preparations

Best Time for Water Activities in Andaman

Water activities depend heavily on sea conditions, weather, visibility and local safety decisions. Even during the generally popular tourist season, individual activities can be cancelled or postponed because of weather. For scuba diving and snorkelling, underwater visibility can vary from day to day.

Before booking an activity, check:

• Weather & Sea conditions
• Activity availability & Operator instructions
• Age restrictions & Medical requirements
• Ferry schedule & Cancellation policy

Never enter the sea simply because an activity was advertised online. Follow local authorities and certified operators.

Andaman Water Sports Safety Tips

Before participating in water activities:

• Always wear the required safety equipment: Life jackets and other equipment should be used as instructed.
• Listen to your instructor: Especially for scuba diving, sea walking and kayaking.
• Don't enter restricted areas: Marine parks, beaches and islands may have specific restrictions.
• Don't touch coral: Corals are living organisms and can be easily damaged.
• Don't feed marine animals: Feeding wildlife can alter natural behaviour.
• Don't collect coral or marine life: The tourism authorities advise visitors against collecting corals, shells and marine organisms.
• Respect the sea: Never underestimate changing sea conditions.

Responsible Tourism in Andaman

Andaman's beauty depends on its fragile marine and forest ecosystems. As a responsible traveller:

• Avoid single-use plastic where possible.
• Don't litter.
• Don't damage coral.
• Don't remove shells or marine organisms.
• Don't disturb wildlife.
• Use authorised operators.

Responsible tourism is particularly important in the Andaman Islands because many natural and cultural areas require protection.

There is no single answer.

• 3 Days: Good for a short Port Blair + Havelock experience.
• 5 Days: Good for a first-time beach and activity holiday.
• 6–7 Days: Ideal for combining Port Blair, Havelock and Neil Island.
• 8–10 Days: Better for adding Baratang and spending more time relaxing.

For most first-time travellers, 6–7 days is a good balance.

Final Thoughts

The best things to do in Andaman are not limited to water sports or beaches. The islands offer a combination of coral reefs, marine life, tropical forests, historical landmarks, indigenous cultural heritage, adventure activities and peaceful island experiences.

If you are visiting for the first time, don't try to see everything. Instead, build your itinerary around three experiences:

• 🌊 Experience the Sea: Scuba diving, snorkelling, sea walking, kayaking and coral viewing.
• 🏝️ Experience the Islands: Radhanagar, Elephant Beach, Neil Island, sunsets and island hopping.
• 🇮🇳 Experience the History: Cellular Jail, Ross Island, Chatham Saw Mill and Port Blair's museums.

That combination will give you a much more complete Andaman travel experience than simply rushing from one attraction to another.

Andaman is best experienced at a relaxed pace—leave some time to simply sit beside the sea, watch the sunset and enjoy the islands.
