Havelock Island

Havelock Island is one of the larger islands in the vicinity of Port Blair. It is a popular spot for multiday trips due to the two beaches, Radhanagar Beach and Elephant Beach, as well as activities like scuba diving. There are a few resorts on the island which provide accommodation.

The Havelock Island is best known for snorkelling, scuba diving and swimming in the shallow waters as well as trekking in the unexplored forest regions. Since the island is small, it can be explored on foot or by hiring small taxis.

The best time to visit Havelock Island is during the first half of the year as the weather is good and the conditions are ideal for scuba diving.

Tickets to and from Havelock Island can be purchased in Port Blair as well as in the island itself. Recently, Pawan Hans helicopter services have been started to ferry passengers from Port Blair to Havelock Island.
