There are some ships that leave from Kolkata, Chennai and Visakhapatnam that you can opt for. We recommend to travel by flight as ships can take 4-5 days to reach Andaman.
How many days are sufficient to visit Andaman and Nicobar Island?
Sufficient days to visit the island can differ from person to person as to where they want to go and what activities they want to do but 5-7 days are ideal to visit Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
How do you get to Havelock Island from Port Blair?
There are three ferries that ply between Port Blair and Havelock on a daily basis. All incoming flights arrive in Port Blair in time for travellers to catch a ferry, allowing you to reach Havelock on the same day.
Travellers can choose between the slower, cheaper government ferry and the faster, more expensive new catamaran depending on their arrival time in Port Blair as well as their budget.
Please note however that getting tickets on the ferry can be very hard and tiresome with long queues. Depending on the rush it can be extremely hard and even impossible to procure tickets last minute and hence we urge you to allow us to organise your ferry tickets for you in advance.
You will need to factor in sufficient time to get the appropriate ferry. Please note that boarding stops 15 minutes before sailing. For the catamaran ‘Makruzz’, please ensure that your flight arrives in Port Blair before 0800hrs as travellers on later flights will not be able to make it on time for this boat.
From Port Blair to Havelock:
Government Ferry: 0600hrs and 1400hrs, Duration: 2.5 hrs
Catamaran (Makruzz): 0900hrs, Duration: 90 minutes
Kindly note that there is a government ferry that departs from Port Blair at 1230 hrs but it visits another Island before reaching Havelock and the total time taken to reach Havelock is 4 hrs. Hence we do not recommend the same.
From Havelock to Port Blair:
Government Ferry: 1400hrs and 1630hrs Duration: 2.5 hrs
Catamaran (Makruzz): 1600hrs Duration: 90 minutes
*The above timings can be changed by the administration at short notice and we would request you to recheck the timings a few days before arrival. All sailings are subject to weather conditions.
