Activities & things to do: as mentioned above

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: try to visit during nov to feb. andaman is hot place, no need heavy stuffs. take quarter , a t shirt and a glasees. thats all you need when you visit andamann.

Port Blair Experience: Port Blair is the Capital City of Andaman Islands. Not too much to do as per the touristic point of view. Weather is either Rainy or Very hot to bear and beaches around are horrible. Everywhere you will find the Boards carrying the warnings of Crocodiles. Just a couple of Water rides and they too are very expensive. But if you wish to Experience the Scuba Diving, Sea Walking & Snorkelling. It is somehow worthy.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Dont try the Food in the Local Markets as it is out of this world. Either the people in Andamans dont know how to cook or they just do not want us to have a nice food. So it will be better if you have the food at your hotel only. Port Blair has Historical Cellular Jail and a Light & Sound Show in the Evenings which is quite good to attend. Apart from this, there are a couple of museums. Rest everything is a matter of killing the time. Shopping is not recommended at the Port Blair because mainly it is the Shell items they sell and that all is Exported from other parts of India. So they do not have anything personal to show case. And because of Exporting, you will find prices of everything on a higher side.

Activities & things to do: Scuba Diving, Snorkelling, Sea Walking, Water Scooter, Sofa Ride, Banana Boat Ride, Speed Boat Ride & a few Picnic spots and nothing else.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Travelling to Andamans is need a lot of research. People there are not much professional, Hotels having Lack of staffs all the times. So choose your Travel Agent very carefully and all you have to do is to push him regularly for better services and with the accuracy of time. One can reach in Andamans by Air from Kolkata, Bhuvaneshwar & Chennai. Air route takes 02.5 hrs to take you at Port Blair. And if you prefer the Sea route, then you can catch the Ships from Kolkata, Chennai & Vishakhapattanam but the services at the ships are not very good and hence it is not recommended since it will take 03+ days to reach at Port Blair and weather conditions can make your journey bitter. Dont forget to keep an Umbrella while packing for Andamans as you may face burning hot sun and rains because these are the only seasons of Andamans round the year. So an umbrella is surely going to be a nice protector for you in both conditions.

Port Blair Experience: The place is worth one visit and may be more. Your heart cries out when you watch; rather experience the light and sound show at the cellular jail - The legendary kala pani for political prisoners. The pristine waters are so calm on the surface and when you look at them intently its as if the water knows you are looking and makes so much noise expressing its pulsating self. Its as if the waves are reaching for the sky. The water sports complex allows so many options of water sports you can't help indulging. Ross island has some architectural remains but its more worth it because of the stories the guide Ms. Roy will tell you. It is surprising how she has conditioned the little creatures on the island. She calls the squirrels 'idhar aao aur sabko lekar aao' and within minutes tens of squirrels and bulbuls and hens assemble behind her. She calls the spotted deers and scholds them 'jab log aate hai to bhook lag jaati hai' and they anyway jump and eat bread that she offers to us so we can feed the deer. there is not much to see on the viper island... skip it if you can... North bay... kill for it... the corals are beautiful to watch from the glass base boats.... go scuba diving if you are a little adventurous and if you're just a little afraid of water... go 'Sea walking'. Its a must do in life and on a vacation to the andamans... what is the most slippery thing on earth?!? slippery than that is the anemone which is the house of the clown fish... touching a live shell is like putting your hand in a vaccume the fish food in your hand vanishes while hundreds of fish come and dash against all over your body while trying to eat the mere spoon ful of fish food you've thrown into the water... visit the museums and aquarium so you'll have some information of these things before you go to see them live... the anthropological museums is a good reminder of the tribes that exist here...

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: food is best at your own resort its not a great idea to go hunting if you're not adventurous.... If you want to eat south Indian food Annapurana cafe is a good restaurant love chat!! 'icey spicy' great place to go to.... Only place to shop is the government place called 'sagarika emporium'

Activities & things to do: SEA WALKING

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: be ready to have fun!! take all your medicines and things of your preferred brands...

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Jolly buoy Island is THE BEST Place you must not miss visit to this place. Crystal clear water you can see tour feet’s into water, can play water games etc. for mid age & old age People glass boat gives the closer view of sea life. If you want to see corals & sea life closer you can do snorkelling. Best place for snorkelling (Even if you are not a swimmer) Like other Trips, Not a single worst experience during this trip. While travelling to Andaman, Sometimes due to bad weather condition your flight may get cancelled so directly you will waste one day from your planned Trip
