8 Nights 9 Days Andaman Itinerary at a Glance

Day 1: Arrival in Port Blair and Cellular Jail

Your Andaman trip starts in Port Blair.

After arriving at the airport, complete your hotel check-in and take some time to settle in. Depending on your arrival time, you can visit Corbyn's Cove Beach before heading to Cellular Jail.

Places to Visit on Day 1

Corbyn's Cove Beach

Corbyn's Cove is one of the closest beaches to Port Blair and is an easy first stop after your arrival.

Cellular Jail National Memorial

The Cellular Jail is one of the most important historical sites in the Andaman Islands. The former colonial prison is closely connected with India's freedom struggle.

Light & Sound Show

The evening Light & Sound Show at Cellular Jail tells the history of the prison and the freedom fighters associated with it.

After sightseeing, return to your hotel and rest for the night.

Overnight: Port Blair

Day 2: Port Blair to Havelock and Radhanagar Beach

After breakfast, head to the jetty for your ferry to Havelock Island, officially known as Swaraj Dweep.

The ferry journey is an important part of the Andaman experience. Once you reach Havelock, check in to your hotel and get ready for the evening.

Radhanagar Beach

Radhanagar Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Havelock and is known for its clear water, white sand, and beautiful surroundings.

Spend the evening at the beach and enjoy the sunset before returning to your hotel.

Overnight: Havelock

Day 3: Havelock to Neil Island

After breakfast, travel from Havelock to Neil Island, officially known as Shaheed Dweep.

Neil Island has a quieter atmosphere compared with Havelock and is a good place to slow down and enjoy the island surroundings.

Depending on the ferry schedule and available time, you can explore some of the island's popular spots before checking into your hotel.

Spend the evening relaxing and exploring the local area.

Overnight: Neil Island

Day 4: Neil Island to Port Blair

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before leaving Neil Island for Port Blair.

Once you reach Port Blair, check into your hotel.

The rest of the day can be kept relatively relaxed after the ferry journey. You can use the time to rest, explore the local market, or enjoy a quiet evening.

Overnight: Port Blair

Day 5: Port Blair to Diglipur

Day 5 takes you away from the usual Port Blair-Havelock-Neil route and towards Diglipur in North Andaman.

The journey to Diglipur takes a significant part of the day, so it is best to start early.

Diglipur is known for its natural surroundings and access to attractions that are different from the more commonly visited parts of Andaman.

After reaching Diglipur, check into your hotel and rest.

Overnight: Diglipur

Day 6: Ross and Smith Islands

This is one of the most memorable days of the itinerary.

After breakfast, head out for the Ross and Smith Island tour.

Ross and Smith are two islands connected by a natural sandbar. The appearance of the sandbar changes with the tide, making the landscape particularly interesting to see in person.

Spend time exploring the islands, relaxing by the beach, and enjoying the natural surroundings.

After the tour, return to Diglipur.

Overnight: Diglipur

Day 7: Diglipur to Port Blair

After breakfast, begin your journey back to Port Blair.

The drive takes time, so keep the day focused on the return journey rather than trying to fit in too many sightseeing stops.

Once you arrive in Port Blair, check into your hotel and relax.

Overnight: Port Blair

Day 8: Ross Island and North Bay Island

Your final full day is reserved for two popular attractions around Port Blair.

Ross Island

Ross Island, now known as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island, is known for its historical remains and old colonial-era structures.

It offers a different experience from the beaches and water activities that dominate most Andaman itineraries.

North Bay Island

North Bay is popular for its coral reefs and marine activities.

Depending on the weather and availability, travelers can explore the marine environment through activities offered at the destination.

Return to Port Blair after sightseeing.

Overnight: Port Blair

Day 9: Departure from Andaman

After breakfast, check out from your hotel.

Your driver will transfer you to the airport according to your flight schedule.

Your 8 nights 9 days Andaman trip comes to an end.

What Is Included in an 8 Nights 9 Days Andaman Package?

• Private sightseeing vehicles

For couples or families with different requirements, a customized itinerary may be a better option.

Is 9 Days Enough for an Andaman Trip?

Yes.

Nine days gives you enough time to combine the major attractions around Port Blair and Havelock with Neil Island and the less-explored Diglipur region.

However, this itinerary involves some long road journeys, particularly between Port Blair and Diglipur. If you prefer a slower holiday with more beach time, you may want to reduce the number of destinations.

If your priority is to see more of Andaman during one trip, the 8 nights 9 days itinerary works well.

Who Is This Andaman Itinerary Best For?

This itinerary works well for:

Couples and Honeymooners

You get beaches, island transfers, sunsets, and enough time to explore multiple destinations.

Families

The itinerary covers the major attractions without requiring you to change hotels every day.

First-Time Andaman Visitors

It combines popular destinations such as Havelock with less-explored places like Diglipur.

Travelers Looking for More Than Beaches

The itinerary also includes historical attractions such as Cellular Jail and Ross Island.

Why Book an Andaman Tour Package Instead of Planning Everything Yourself?

Planning an Andaman trip involves more than booking hotels.

You need to coordinate ferry schedules, airport transfers, sightseeing vehicles, hotel check-ins, permits, and island transfers.

A local travel company can handle these arrangements together, which can make the trip easier, especially when traveling between multiple islands.

At Andaman Discover, our team handles the major travel arrangements so you can focus on enjoying the trip.

Our packages can include accommodation, transfers, sightseeing, ferry tickets, and local assistance based on the selected itinerary.
