Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
A tiny, unhurried island of jungle trails and the secluded Lalaji Bay Beach.
Long Island is one of the Andamans' best-kept secrets, a small, car-free island where daily life moves gently and tourism stays low-key. Its prize is Lalaji Bay Beach, a secluded curve of white sand reached by a forest trek or a short local boat. With just a handful of stays and no crowds, Long Island suits travellers craving genuine peace and quiet. Reached by government ferry via Rangat, it is an offbeat detour for Indian travellers, who need no permit.
Fly to Port Blair and travel north towards Rangat to catch the ferry to Long Island.
Take the ferry across, check into a simple stay and explore the village and nearby shore on foot.
Trek or boat to Lalaji Bay for a day of swimming, snorkelling and quiet on the sand.
Join a boat to the stunning Merk Bay sandbank on North Passage Island for pristine water.
Ferry back towards Rangat and Port Blair for onward sightseeing or your flight home.

Long Island is for travellers who want the Andamans without the crowds. Car-free lanes, friendly villagers and the untouched Lalaji Bay Beach make it a genuine escape from the mainstream trail.
Long Island is reached by government ferry, usually via Rangat in Middle Andaman, so it takes some planning to include. We help arrange the road and ferry connections in your itinerary.
Lalaji Bay is the island's headline beach, reached on foot through forest or by a short local boat. From here you can also day-trip to the spectacular Merk Bay sandbank on nearby North Passage Island.
Indian nationals need no permit for Long Island. Facilities are basic, so it best suits travellers happy with simple stays in exchange for solitude.
October to May brings calm seas for the ferries and boat trips. Monsoon months can disrupt the government ferry schedule, so shoulder and peak season are safest.
There are no ATMs and limited shops, so carry cash and essentials. Mobile signal is patchy, ferry timings are limited, and stays are simple rather than luxurious.
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.
