Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to visit Andaman is between October and May when the weather is pleasant and the sea is calm. Monsoons (June-September) should be avoided as many water activities are restricted and ferry services may be canceled due to rough seas.
How to reach Andaman Islands?
Port Blair is connected by flights from major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. There are also passenger ships from Chennai, Kolkata, and Vishakhapatnam, but these take 3-4 days. We recommend flights for convenience.
