4-day Andaman Islands family trip itinerary

Kid-friendly pacing, short drives and rest built into every day. Built for Andaman Islands, at a relaxed pace.

Almost every Andaman itinerary runs Port Blair, Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep), joined by ferries that must be booked in advance. Ferry timings, not distances, dictate the plan — a missed sailing costs you a day.

The 4-day plan

Day 1

Arrive and settle in. Keep the first day light so the rest of the trip has a base.

  • Radhanagar Beach, Havelock
  • Elephant Beach snorkelling

Day 2

Main sightseeing day, weighted toward short drives and afternoon rest.

  • Bharatpur Beach, Neil Island
  • Cellular Jail light and sound show

Day 3

Main sightseeing day, weighted toward short drives and afternoon rest.

  • Scuba diving at Nemo Reef
  • Ross Island

Day 4

Keep the last day short and close to your stay so the return journey is not rushed.

  • Radhanagar Beach, Havelock
  • Elephant Beach snorkelling

Timings, the driving distance between each stop and the cab cost for the day are calculated for your actual dates when you open this in the app — the order above is the starting point, not a fixed schedule.
