Equatorial 6 Days Mayabunder Andaman Package | Wavering
Overview
Most people who have been to the Andaman Islands have not heard of Interview Island. It sits off the western coast of Middle Andaman, accessible by a boat ride of approximately one to one and a half hours from Mayabunder harbour, and it has no permanent human population. What it does have is a population of feral elephants — descendants of animals brought to the island during the British period for timber extraction work and left there when the operations ended. The island is a designated wildlife sanctuary. The elephants are wild, the forest is dense and a sighting on any given day depends on where the animals have moved. This is not a zoo visit with a guaranteed result at the end of it. It is a boat ride to an uninhabited island where wild elephants live and the experience of being in that place — regardless of whether an elephant appears on the path — is unlike anything else the Andaman Islands offer. This mayabunder andaman package is built around that specific fact.
Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme from Port Blair Airport arrival. The six days move north in two stages — Rangat on Day 1, then Mayabunder on Day 2 with the Karen village visit and Karmatang Beach in the afternoon. Day 3 is the Interview Island full day excursion. Day 4 continues north to Diglipur for the Ross and Smith Islands sandbar in the afternoon. Day 5 is the long return drive to Port Blair. Day 6 is the departure. Private AC Ertiga or Xylo class vehicle covers all road transfers throughout. Boat tickets for Interview Island and Ross and Smith Islands, forest department permit for the wildlife sanctuary and all entry charges are included. Daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis at all hotels throughout.

Best Time to Visit
The boat crossing from Mayabunder harbour to Interview Island Wildlife Sanctuary is most reliably safe between October and May when the Andaman Sea is calmer and the sea conditions in the channel between Mayabunder and the island are manageable. The monsoon from June through September brings rough seas that frequently prevent the Interview Island crossing entirely and the sanctuary excursion cannot proceed when conditions are unsafe. The best overall window for this mayabunder andaman package is October through April, with the winter months of November through February offering the clearest weather for both the island crossing and the Karmatang Beach turtle nesting season which runs from October to March. The Karen village visit and the Ross-Smith sandbar excursion at Diglipur are accessible year-round but the boat-dependent elements require favourable sea conditions.
