Elephant Beach is Havelock's action beach, a shallow, coral-fringed bay that is the island's favourite spot for snorkelling and water sports. Reached by a short boat ride or a jungle trek from the main road, it offers vivid coral just off the sand, plus sea walking, jet-ski and glass-bottom boat rides. It is the perfect place to meet the Andamans' underwater world without diving deep. Indian nationals need no permit for Havelock.

Why visit Elephant Beach

Elephant Beach packs the Andamans' underwater colour into easy, shallow water, making it perfect for snorkelling and water sports. It is the ideal spot to try sea walking or ride a jet-ski between reef sessions.

How to reach

From Havelock, the beach is reached by a short speedboat ride from the jetty or an adventurous jungle trek from the main road. We arrange your Havelock stay and activities so the day runs smoothly.

Snorkelling & water sports

The shallow reef is ideal for beginners, with snorkelling gear, sea walking, glass-bottom boats and jet-skis all available. Non-swimmers can still meet the marine life via sea walking or a glass-bottom boat.

Permits for Indian travellers

Indian nationals need no permit for Havelock or Elephant Beach. Foreign nationals register on arrival on the island.

Best time to visit

October to May brings clear, calm water ideal for snorkelling and reef trips. Monsoon months can reduce visibility and occasionally halt boat services.

Good to know

Boat trips can pause in bad weather, so keep the day flexible. Carry cash for activities, protect the coral by not touching it, and book popular water sports ahead in peak season.

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.

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.
