Overview

The Andaman Islands have four distinct snorkelling environments within range of a five-day circuit — the North Bay reef inside Port Blair harbour, the Cinque Island reef inside the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park protected from boat traffic and the turbidity that affects the harbour-adjacent sites, the Elephant Beach reef at Havelock where the coral formations run from 2 metres to the deeper sections and the fish diversity is among the highest accessible without a certification in Indian waters, and the Neil Island reef edge at Laxmanpur where the natural rock bridge sits above coral formations visible at snorkelling depth at low tide. Each of these four sites is different enough from the others that the andaman snorkelling package is not repetitive across its five days — the water clarity at Cinque is different from the water at North Bay, the fish assemblage at Elephant Beach is different from the reef edge at Neil Island and the experience of floating over the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park reef is different from the experience of snorkelling in a bay with water sports operators on the shore. This package covers all four.

Bon Voyagers manages the complete ground programme from Port Blair Airport arrival. Day 1 covers Port Blair, the Cellular Jail and the North Bay first snorkel. Day 2 is the Cinque Island marine park excursion from Chiriya Tapu. Day 3 takes the ferry to Havelock for the afternoon Elephant Beach snorkel. Day 4 is the full Elephant Beach morning session and Radhanagar Beach afternoon. Day 5 crosses to Neil Island for the reef edge snorkel before the return ferry to Port Blair and the departure. Private ferry tickets, all boat tickets and permits, vehicle transfers and MAP meals throughout are included. Snorkelling equipment hire at each site is paid locally to registered operators.

Itinerary

The andaman snorkelling package begins at Port Blair Airport where the Bon Voyagers representative meets the group on arrival. The afternoon is the Cellular Jail — built between 1896 and 1906 across seven radiating wings where political prisoners from across India were held. The evening light and sound show runs approximately 45 minutes after dark. North Bay Island in the late afternoon is the first snorkelling site of this andaman snorkelling package — a 15-minute boat from Aberdeen Jetty to the reef closest to Port Blair. The North Bay reef carries parrotfish, angelfish and clownfish in the anemone sections at snorkelling depth in calm conditions. It is the most accessible reef snorkelling in the Andaman Islands and it serves on this andaman snorkelling package as the calibration dive — the first time the mask goes on and the face goes in the water, before the more demanding and more rewarding sites of the following days. Snorkelling equipment hire paid locally. Overnight in Port Blair.

Best Time to Visit

The andaman snorkelling package is best booked between October and May when water visibility at all four snorkelling sites is at its seasonal best. The Cinque Island marine park opens only in this window — the park closes during the June to September monsoon when rough seas make the Chiriya Tapu boat crossing unsafe. Elephant Beach at Havelock is most productive in the early morning hours of the October to May season when the water is calmest and the fish are most active. North Bay visibility improves significantly in the October to May window when monsoon runoff reduces. Neil Island’s Laxmanpur reef is accessible year-round but the snorkelling quality follows the same seasonal pattern. December through February is the peak demand window when all four sites are simultaneously at their best.
