October to May brings dry days, calm seas and crystal-clear water
The short answer is October to May, when the Andamans are dry, the seas are calm and the water is at its clearest for snorkelling and diving. The June to September monsoon brings rough seas and occasional ferry cancellations, so most travellers avoid it. December and January are the glorious peak, sunny and lively, while the shoulder months offer the same beauty with fewer crowds. Here is how the year unfolds so you can pick your perfect window.
Plan your arrival between October and May for calm seas. Start in Port Blair with the Cellular Jail show.
Cruise to Havelock for Radhanagar's sunset and clear-water snorkelling at Elephant Beach.
Ferry to Neil for the Natural Bridge and Laxmanpur, easy in the gentle dry-season seas.
Cruise back to Port Blair with calm crossings and fly home.

The Andamans have a tropical climate that is warm year-round, so it is the sea, not the temperature, that decides the best time. Dry-season calm from October to May makes ferries reliable and water clear, while the monsoon churns the sea and disrupts island-hopping.
These are the months to aim for. Skies are mostly clear, crossings are smooth and underwater visibility is superb. December and January are the peak, so book early; the shoulder months of October, November, February and March offer the same conditions with fewer crowds.
The southwest monsoon brings heavy showers, rough seas and occasional ferry cancellations. The islands are lush and hotels cheaper, but island-hopping becomes unreliable, so we generally steer beach-and-water holidays away from these months.
Book flights, hotels and ferries well ahead for the December–January peak. Carry cash as ATMs are limited on Havelock and Neil, and expect patchy mobile signal on the outer islands (BSNL and Airtel work best).
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
