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.
How to Reach the Andaman Islands
Fly to Port Blair, then hop between islands by cruise ferry
Getting to the Andamans is simpler than many expect. You fly into Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ), with direct flights from Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Delhi taking roughly two to five hours. From there, you reach Havelock and Neil by cruise ferry, best booked ahead. There is no sea route for tourists worth considering, so flying is the way in. Here is exactly how the journey works.
Top things to see & do
Suggested itinerary
Take a direct flight to Veer Savarkar Airport (IXZ) and transfer to your hotel to begin your trip.
Board a cruise ferry from Port Blair to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), around 1.5–2 hours across calm dry-season seas.
Hop by ferry to Neil (Shaheed Dweep), a short crossing to this quieter island.
Cruise back to Port Blair and connect to your onward flight home.

Flying to Port Blair
All air travel funnels through Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ). Direct flights operate from Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Delhi, taking roughly two to five hours depending on origin. We help you find sensible connections and morning arrivals so you can start island time sooner.
Inter-island ferries
Once in Port Blair, you travel to Havelock and Neil by ferry. Private cruises such as Makruzz and Nautika are comfortable and air-conditioned, while government ferries are cheaper and reach more islands but are slower. Both sell out fast, so we book your ferries in advance and align them with your flights.
Permits (Indians usually none)
Indian nationals need no permit for Port Blair, Havelock or Neil, so arrival is straightforward with valid photo ID. A few areas such as Baratang's tribal reserve need a forest permit arranged locally, which we organise. Foreign nationals register on arrival.
Getting around each island
- Taxis and auto-rickshaws for point-to-point trips.
- Hired cars with drivers for sightseeing days.
- Scooter and bicycle hire on Havelock and Neil for the independent-minded.
Travel tips
Book flights 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, with BSNL and Airtel the most reliable networks.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
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.
