Andaman Islands

Havelock Island Tour Packages

Officially Swaraj Dweep, still universally called Havelock, and the reason most people fly to the Andamans. Radhanagar beach on the west coast is the one that appears on lists of the best beaches in Asia and, unusually, deserves it — wide, white, and backed by forest rather than concrete. The diving is the other draw: warm water, good visibility from December, and a set of dive schools that range from excellent to indifferent. Three nights is right, because the ferry eats most of your arrival and departure days. Book ferries well ahead in season; they sell out and there is no alternative route.
