First thing that comes to your mind when somebody says Andaman Islands is lying lazily on the beaches and swimming in the shallow waters. But we have a totally different scenario in our off-beat expedition. We explore several non-touristy islands and hidden beaches, ride through the thick forests for swim in the fresh waterfalls, sail to different island by private and government ferry, private boat and huge titanic type ship, small speed boat and even fishermen Dungi to give you the best of experience in the Andaman Islands. This is not a luxury trip for honeymooners, but exhausting and exhilarating expedition for explorers at heart.

Day 02 – Port Blair to Neil Island + Snorkeling / Scuba Diving + Natural Arch
Early morning wake up call to catch the first ferry of the day to Neil Island. It’s a completely laidback island with its natural beauty still intact. Once we reach the jetty, we collect our mopeds and head to our beachside shacks to check in and freshen up. Get ready for the best part of Andaman’s crystal clear waters and vibrant marine life – Scuba Diving. After the mesmerizing visual treats in the deep ocean, we head to the Natural Arch during low tide to witness nature’s architect. We head back to our shacks for spectacular sunset at the adjacent beach. Some fun activities and chill by the beach side.
Day 03 – Sitapur Beach + Bhanga Dungi + Lesuire Time/ Snorkeling
To witness something extraordinary, we have to get up at extraordinary hours in the morning! Wake up call at 0400hrs and we head to Sitapur beach for the most colourful sunrise. Post early breakfast, with our packed lunch and snorkel kits, we start our hike towards the hidden beach – Bhanga Dungi. After almost an hour, we finally reach the isolated beach best for snorkeling. We will swim our hearts out in the vast ocean and start hike back by late noon. Leisure time for everyone to explore the small island by themselves on moped.
Day 04 – Long Island + Lalaji Bay Beach
Like a true explorer, we go on sailing expedition to another isolated Island on our private boat. With very few inhabitants, Long Island is a perfect retreat for backpackers. It will be a long sail from Neil Island and we finally reach the island by noon and check into our guest house. Post lunch we head to Lalaji Bay Beach by the only taxi in the whole island. We play and snorkel around in yet another beautiful deserted beach until sundown. Then we get picked up by a large Dungi for a surreal night sail back to the guest house.
Day 05 – Havelock Island + Radhanagar Beach
Our day starts before the dawn and we watch the sunrise as we start our sail back to Neil Island. We reach Neil Island just in time to catch our ferry to Havelock Island. This island is the most happening place in Andamans. You will find a lot of lively tourists and bustling cafes at several places in the island. In the evening, after our ride to the Asia’s best beach – Radhanagar Beach, we go on café hopping and retire for the day.
Day 06 – Elephant Beach + Port Blair
After consecutive early morning alarms since the start of the tour, we wake up leisurely for a lazy morning. Post breakfast, we go on a beautiful hike to Elephant Beach and then return by lunchtime. We take the evening private ferry back to Port Blair. Then quickly run to another jetty to board our huge ass ship to another distant Island. Overnight sailing
Day 07 – Little Andaman + Lighthouse + White Surf Waterfalls
After 10 hours of sailing, we finally reach Little Andaman. This is one of our favourite destinations – a paradise for adventurers and beach lovers. After checking into our shacks, we get on our mopeds and head south to the lighthouse. Enroute we visit Nicobari Bastis and then maneuver our two-wheelers through dense forest. The view from above the lighthouse is breathtaking. On our way back, we stop at White Surf Waterfalls for a refreshing swim in the freshwaters and return to our stay for a good rest after a tiring day.
Day 08 – Krishna Nalla Waterfalls
Today is the best of the entire tour as we go on a wonderful ride and hike through the dense thorny woods to visit Krishna Nalla Waterfalls – our favourite destination in Little Andaman. After about 2 hours of riding and hiking, we finally reach the pristine turquoise pond and waterfalls that you will never forget your entire life.
