Important Notes about Discover Andaman with Neil Island

Ferry schedules between islands can change due to weather or sea conditions, especially during the monsoon. It is best to stay flexible with your travel plans to avoid stress.
Wear light cotton clothes since it is usually hot and humid. Pack swimwear, high-SPF sunscreen, a hat or cap, sunglasses, and comfortable shoes or sandals for walking and beach visits.
Protect nature by refraining from littering and avoiding contact with marine life. Do not take coral, shells, or sea creatures as souvenirs—it is harmful to the environment and also illegal.
Let us know in advance if anyone in your group has health issues or trouble walking, so we can plan better and make your trip comfortable.
Mobile networks may be weak or unavailable on islands like Neil and Havelock. Tell your loved ones beforehand and download offline maps or shows if needed.
ATMs and card machines are not common on smaller islands. Bring enough cash, especially in small notes, for food, transport, or shopping.

Best Time to go for Discover Andaman with Neil Island

The best time to visit the Andaman Islands is from October to May, when the weather is mostly warm, sunny, and pleasant, making it a great time to enjoy the beaches, explore different islands, and try out various water activities. During these months, there is very little rainfall, and the sea remains calm and clear, which is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, diving, and boat rides. This period is ideal for sightseeing as well, as most tourist spots are easily accessible without weather disruptions. On the other hand, the monsoon season, from June to September, brings heavy rains and strong winds, which can often lead to delays or cancellations in ferry services and outdoor plans. So, if you are looking for a smooth and enjoyable trip with fewer weather-related issues, planning your visit anytime between October and May would be the most comfortable and enjoyable option.
