Planning Your Trip
Best season, trip length, permits and how to reach Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair) for your Andaman holiday.
What is the best time to visit Andaman? +
October to May is the best season for Andaman travel packages — clear skies, calm seas, and ideal beach weather. December to February is peak season with the highest demand for honeymoon and family tours. Monsoon months (June—September) offer significantly lower prices, though some water activities may be restricted.
How many days should I plan my Andaman trip? +
A typical Andaman holiday package is 5 to 7 days — enough to cover Sri Vijaya Puram sightseeing, Havelock Island beaches, and Neil Island. For Baratang limestone caves or Diglipur in North Andaman, we recommend 8—10 days.
Do I need a permit to visit Andaman? +
Indian citizens need no special permit for the main tourist islands (Sri Vijaya Puram, Havelock, Neil, Baratang). Foreign nationals require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP), which we help arrange. Tribal reserve areas are strictly off-limits to all visitors.
How do I reach Andaman? +
Fly directly to Veer Savarkar International Airport in Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair) from Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad (2—2.5 hours). We can book your flights as part of the package. Ships from Chennai/Kolkata take 3—4 days but are budget-friendly for cost-conscious travellers.
Packages & Pricing
How Andaman holiday packages are priced, customised and what meal plans mean.
Can we customise our tour package? +
Yes! Every Andaman tour package can be tailored to your dates, hotel preferences, activities, and budget. We specialise in holidays, honeymoons, adventure trips, and group tours — including flights, resorts, vehicle rentals, and activities.
What does the Andaman tour price include? +
Most Andaman holiday packages include accommodation, airport transfers, inter-island ferry tickets, guided Sri Vijaya Puram sightseeing, monument entry fees, breakfast (and sometimes all meals), and selected activities. Airfare, personal expenses, and optional water sports are usually extra. We provide a detailed breakdown before you book.
What are EP, CP, MAP and AP hotel meal plans? +
Hotels offer different meal plans — EP (room only), CP (room + breakfast), MAP (room + breakfast + one main meal), and AP (all meals). We help you choose the right plan for your Andaman stay. See our hotel meal plan guide for details.
What is generally the size of a tour group? +
Group sizes typically range from 10—30 people for standard packages, up to 60+ for large corporate groups. Private/customised tours are available for couples, families, and small groups of any size.
Is there any refund against cancellation? +
Cancellation attracts certain charges depending on how close to the travel date you cancel. Ferry tickets and hotel bookings have their own cancellation policies. See our full Cancellation & Refund Policy or call 9434262060.
Are there Andaman travel deals for budget travellers? +
Yes. Shoulder-season dates (late September–October and April–May), EP or CP meal plans, and shorter Sri Vijaya Puram–Havelock circuits keep costs down without skipping key sights. Ask us for current Andaman travel deals and a clear budget quote before you book.
Do you arrange group and corporate Andaman tours? +
We regularly plan school, college, corporate offsite, and large family group tours across the Andaman Islands. That includes block hotel bookings, private transfers, ferry coordination, and a dedicated on-ground coordinator. Share your headcount and dates for a tailored group quote.
Activities & Experiences
Scuba diving packages, water sports, honeymoon nights and senior-friendly options.
Is scuba diving safe for beginners? +
Absolutely. Havelock Island offers excellent beginner-friendly dive sites with PADI-certified instructors. A Discover Scuba Diving session (no certification needed) lets you explore coral reefs up to 12 metres deep. Certified divers can access deeper sites.
Can scuba diving be added to Andaman packages? +
Yes. We can add scuba diving packages to most honeymoon, family and adventure itineraries — from a Discover Scuba session at Havelock to certified dives at deeper sites. Tell us your experience level when you enquire and we'll include timing and pricing in your quote.
What water sports are available? +
North Bay Island and Elephant Beach offer snorkelling, sea walk, jet skiing, banana boat rides, and glass-bottom boat tours. Scuba diving is best at Havelock. We include or arrange activities based on your package selection.
Are Andaman packages suitable for senior citizens? +
Yes! We offer senior-friendly packages with comfortable resorts, easy-paced sightseeing, and accessible ferry options. Many of our senior citizen groups return year after year. We can adjust the itinerary pace to suit mobility needs.
Is Andaman good for a honeymoon? +
Andaman is one of India's top honeymoon destinations. Our packages include beachfront resorts, candlelight dinners, private beach time at Radhanagar, couples' spa sessions, and sunset cruises — everything for a romantic escape.
How many nights are ideal for an Andaman honeymoon? +
Most couples prefer 4 to 6 honeymoon nights — typically Sri Vijaya Puram plus 2–3 nights on Havelock, with an optional Neil Island stay. Shorter 3-night Havelock escapes work for long weekends; longer stays suit slow beach days and scuba. We'll match nights to your dates and budget.
Practical Information
Packing, connectivity, payments and how to book with Heaven Tours.
What should I pack for Andaman? +
Light cotton clothes, swimwear, sunscreen (SPF 50+), hat, sunglasses, flip-flops, comfortable walking shoes, insect repellent, and a light rain jacket (if visiting during monsoon). Carry your ID proof and any medications you need — pharmacies are limited on smaller islands.
Is mobile network available on the islands? +
BSNL has the widest coverage across Andaman. Jio and Airtel work well in Sri Vijaya Puram and Havelock but may be patchy on Neil Island and remote areas. Most resorts offer Wi-Fi. We recommend downloading offline maps before travelling.
What currency is used? Are cards accepted? +
Indian Rupees (INR) are used throughout. ATMs are available in Sri Vijaya Puram and Havelock but can be unreliable on smaller islands. Carry sufficient cash for local purchases, tips, and small vendors. Most hotels and restaurants accept UPI and cards.
