What to do and see in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Andaman and Nicobar Islands: The Best Islands

August 5, 2021 Agatha Simes

Sparsely-populated beaches that give way to an ocean brimming with interesting marine life and coral gardens are just one of the reasons to visit the beautiful Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Ghandi Park, Sippighat Farm and the century-old Cellular Jail (now a pilgrimage destination) provide glimpses into the past and present of these peaceful islands with a mysterious and multicultural past.

Ross and Smith Island

Reviewed By gogoipj - Tinsukia, India

Ross and Smith Islands,  a real treat to eyes. Waw...you beauty! A mesmerizing beauty with greenish blue sea on one side and light blue sea on other side of the white sand bar. More beautiful then Radhanagar in it's own way. Less crowded with adequate amenities. One is allowed to stay upto maximum of 3 hours, afterward Rs 400 charged on hourly basis(too much!!). But 3 hours is not sufficient to enjoy the beauty upto fullest. No one is allowed to stay here overnight. One can stay here upto 3pm, as water level increasses after 3pm and subsequently sand bar submerges under water.  Visiting Ross and Smith is the best part of my whole Andaman tour. I strongly recommend to accommodate Ross and Smith into your itinery if possible. Formalities to visit Ross and Smith islands are too irritating as same entries need to be made 5 times i.e. at boat association office, govt permit office, entry gate, police check post and permit to visit Ross island seperately along with payment for 3 times at different locations i.e. for the boat, gate fee and permit for Ross Island. Hope concerned authority will look into the matter and rectify the procedure in a tourist friendly manner. Lastly, thanks to Mr. Babu (+919933272757, visit2andaman.com) and Mr. Venkatesh who helped and guided us for whole Andaman tour without whom our tour could not have been a comfortable and successful one.

Ross Island

Reviewed By AryaaaaaZ

It was a thrilling experience seeing the ruins of the island and how beautifully nature has taken charge. The highlight was the Guide Ms. Anuradha Rao who is a 4th gen Ross island inhabitant and truly a pleasure to listen to. The deer, peacocks, squirrels and rabbits followed her as she has taken care of them.

Jolly Buoy Island

Reviewed By bachani420 - Ajmer, India

It's a wonder on earth n thanks to the status of wildlife park, its preserved in most natural conditions Jolly buoy is 30 min drive from port Blair and overall half day visit. You take boat from wandoor jetty to jolly buoy island They have glass bottom boats at the island to give u a tour of corals, fishes in their natural habitat. The variety of coral types is mesmerizing n if u are lucky, u can spot octopus n Andaman turtles(very large) with star fish, sea cucumber n scores of other fishes. Infact water is so transparent That u can see fishes swimming On the beach, u can swim in crystal clear water. It's a litter free zone n non commercial so u have to carry sm food Other places in Andaman ar north bay, Havelock n elephanta, corals are bleached due to human activities, so only place to see thriving marine n coral life is Jolly buoy

Little Andaman Island

Reviewed By toyalillie61 - Oslo, Norway

We stayed in Hawa 10 days in March 2020, longer than planned because the corona blocked the rest of the trip. But far away from waisted time! We would have stayed longer if not our prime- minister demanded: Come home! Hawa is a family- run resort/ home- stay. Clean and nice, and with lovely food! They gladly discuss the next meal with you, and it was always tasty, fresh and good. Our room in a twin cottage had AC, but we only used the fan. Private toilette and shower, nice and clean. The owner has motorbikes for rent, but there are also a buss and cheered jeeps to take. They also arranged guide for us throw the jungle to the big waterfall, recommended! The beach is just on the other side of the tiny road, 50 m throw the green jungle, and there it is, the largest and untouched beach I have seen, just clean and beautiful. When we were there; no big waives, the surfers went to the other side of the island for day- trips. No problem swimming either on high or low tide. A motorbike- trip to the lighthouse, as far as you are (almost) aloud to go into the tribes- aria is also a lovely day- trip. You can climb to the top and see the huge untouched jungle whom cowers the island. This was only a lovely clean island and a lovely place. So relaxed and Indian, well- coming and including. No begging no problems, (except the corona ; )
