Itinerary
Upon your arrival, you will be warmly received by our airport representative, and they will assist in transferring you to your designated hotel or resort. In the evening, you'll have the opportunity to explore the historic Cellular Jail, followed by an engaging Light & Sound Show. It's important to note that we will drop guests off at a parking area near the jail, and there will be a brief 200-meter walk involved, to be retraced after the show concludes. Guests are required to exit the premises after visiting the jail and re-enter for the Light & Sound Show. During the free time between the jail visit and the show, guests are welcome to enjoy a leisurely stroll along the bay side. The Light & Sound Show is scheduled between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM, subject to availability. Should you find time, you can also explore the pleasant and vibrant Corbyn Cove Beach. Your overnight stay will be comfortably arranged in Port Blair.
We will arrange for your hotel pickup and transfer to the Port Blair Jetty for your onward voyage to Havelock. If you are catching a morning ferry, you can request a packed breakfast from your hotel (subject to their policies). Upon arrival in Havelock, our local representative will extend a warm welcome and assist you in transferring to your pre-booked hotel or resort. In the afternoon, take the opportunity to visit the esteemed "Radhanagar Beach," which boasts a Blue Flag certification. Here, you can indulge in swimming and relaxation. Remember to carry a change of clothes and a towel, as boarding the vehicle with wet clothing is not allowed; your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Your overnight stay will be conveniently arranged in the inviting environment of Havelock.
In the morning, relish a delicious breakfast before embarking on a journey to the renowned "Elephant Beach," also referred to as Coral Beach. Elephant Beach is celebrated for its snorkeling opportunities and various water-based activities like Jet Ski rides, Banana Rides, and Sea Walk. You'll access Elephant Beach by boarding a small boat at the jetty, which accommodates up to 11 passengers on a sharing basis (10-15 minutes boat ride). Following this adventure, make your way to Kalapathar Beach. Stretching out with its expanse of white velvety sand and sizable black rocks juxtaposed against the azure sea, Kalapathar Beach is located at one corner of Havelock and extends from Beach No. 5. While it may become a bit bustling during the high season, a serene escape can be found by strolling southward. A narrow path through lush greenery, once an elephant training camp, leads to this hidden shoreline (15-20 minutes' walk). Your accommodations for the night await in the captivating realm of Havelock.
Following breakfast, you will be transferred to the Havelock jetty for your onward journey to Neil Island. Upon arrival at Neil Island, our team will facilitate your transfer to the pre-booked hotel or resort. In the afternoon, embark on a journey to explore the following attractions:

- Natural Bridge: Also referred to as Howrah Bridge, this bridge has naturally formed through the formation of corals. It is best observed during low tide.
Your night's stay is arranged on the captivating island of Neil.
Start your day with a hearty breakfast, complete the check-out formalities, and then head to the jetty for your voyage back to Port Blair (approximately 1.5 hours). Upon reaching Port Blair, you will be transferred to your designated hotel. As part of your itinerary, a visit to Chidiyatapu, situated 30 kilometers from the city, is planned.
