Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to visit the Andamans?

October to May. Seas are calm, visibility for diving is at its best between December and April. The monsoon from June to September brings rough crossings and frequent ferry cancellations, which is why we do not sell fixed itineraries then.

Do I need a permit?

Indian nationals need no permit for Port Blair, Havelock or Neil. Baratang and a few other areas need a day permit, which we arrange. Foreign nationals get a Restricted Area Permit on arrival.

Can I scuba dive if I have never dived before?

Yes. A Discover Scuba dive takes you to about 12 metres with an instructor holding you throughout, no certification needed. You should be able to swim and have no heart, lung or sinus condition.

What happens if a ferry is cancelled?

It happens, mostly in rough weather. We rebook you on the next sailing, adjust the hotel nights, and refund anything the delay makes you miss. Do not book a same-day onward flight out of Port Blair for this reason.

Is there mobile network and internet?

Port Blair is fine. Havelock and Neil have working but slow data. Baratang and North Andaman are patchy. Resort wifi exists but should not be relied on for work.
