Pro Travel Tips

From experienced Andaman travellers

Book Early

Secure the best seats and avoid last-minute scrambles — especially during peak season (Oct–May)

Morning Departures

Choose early morning ferries — seas are generally calmer and you arrive with a full day ahead

Travel Light

One bag + carry-on makes boarding faster and the open deck experience far more enjoyable

Essentials in Hand

Keep medications, valuables, and camera in your carry-on — checked bags go in the hold

Download E-ticket

Save your ticket offline — Havelock and Neil jetties have patchy cellular coverage

Dress for the Deck

Bring a light jacket for the open deck — the sea breeze is refreshing but can be chilly
