The best, and only option to travel today to the island of Havelock is by either the Private or government ferries. They connect Port Blair, Havelock, Baratang and Neil island. A one-way trip takes about 60 to 90 minutes to reach the respective islands. Though expensive, ferries are the most convenient and preferred modes of transport in Andamans. Today we head over to the Port Blair Ferry terminus to board our ferry to the Havelock Island. On arrival you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Post check in refresh, get into your swim wear and head over to the beach. 

After  lunch we recommend a stroll at Radhanagar Beach (Beach no. 7) rated as the best beach in Asia with its pristine white sand and turquoise blue waters. Here you can enjoy water sports like boating, parasailing, and scuba diving or just relax on the beach. We head over later to Beach No 2 where you have an option to dine at the Beach side Café.

Another free day today for some R&R or more fun at the beach. We recommend an optional tour to the Kalapathar beach, today should you be interested to visit. Kalapathar beach is a long stretch of white silky sand with big black rocks beside the blue sea. It is situated on one corner of Havelock and is a continuation of beach No. 5. The beach can get a bit crowded in high season, but if you walk further to the south, you’ll find yourself completely alone. The water is deep enough to swim but there are rocks and corals there so caution is advised. Since there are no eateries there, we recommend you carry a small picnic basket with you.

If you choose to hang around at the hotel this morning, then perhaps head out for lunch and explore Fat Martin’s a popular open-air cafe with a good selection of Indian dishes and some particularly impressive dosas (paper-thin lentil-flour pancakes) including paneer tikka and Nutella.

From the highest point of the pinnacle, one can get a wonderful perspective of the Port Blair city, the Ross Island and the Havelock Island. Mount Harriet, positioned at 55 km by street and 15 km by ship from Port Blair.

Option 3: Visit Barren Island Volcano the only active volcano chain from Sumatra to Myanmar and also, the only active volcano in India.

In addition, no one is allowed to land on Barren Island and No night stay are permitted. To explore this wonder it is advisable to take an early morning trip to the island, starting at around 3 or 4 a.m. as it takes nearly 4 to 5 hrs to reach the island.
