About this trip
Six days across Port Blair, Havelock and Neil, built around water. Everyone in the group does a discover-scuba dive with Kavya, who has 600-odd logged dives and a talent for getting nervous first-timers underwater without them noticing. Beyond that it is snorkelling at Elephant Beach, the long sunset at Radhanagar, a bioluminescence kayak if the moon cooperates, and the slow pace that islands enforce whether you like it or not.
- A discover-scuba dive for everyone, no experience needed
- Radhanagar beach at sunset — consistently rated among Asia's best
- Snorkelling at Elephant Beach over live coral
- Bioluminescence kayaking on a new-moon night, when the water lights up
- Cellular Jail and the light-and-sound show in Port Blair
