The Andaman Islands are located in the Bay of Bengal, off the East coast of India. If you are planning on visiting, plan your trip ahead because once you get there, you’ll have a hard time finding internet access.

Here’s a guide to the best things to do on the islands.

Harbor Cruise

Taking a harbor cruise is an effective way to explore the islands. It will take you around Port Blair, North Bay Island, Ross Island, and Viper Island.

Watch The Sunset at Chidya Tapu

Chidya Tapu is a beautiful biological park. Taking a stroll here during the day is lovely but the sunset view is something else.

Scuba Dive

Snorkeling around the islands is a magical experience. You will encounter all sorts of marine life, particularly around Chidya Tapu.

Watch Turtles Nest

In addition to enjoying the beautiful beaches of Karmatang or Ramnagar, you can watch turtles nest here. Be sure to wake up early though if you want to watch them make their way to the sea from the shore.

Take a City Tour

Port Blair contains many British colonial buildings and museums. If you want to see it all, the best way is to take a city tour. The highlight is the evening light show at Cellular Jail.
