What Makes Andaman Package Prices Go Up or Down
- Travel Season - The preferred travel season for an Andaman trip from Chennai is the October to March window. During this period, travellers often find that flights and hotels are priced higher than usual. Budget travellers, however, can opt for the off-season window of May to September. During this time, you can find better rates at beachfront hotels, though some water activities may be closed, depending on the weather conditions.
- Accommodation - Thrillophilia recommends handpicked hotels ranging from 3 to 5 stars. Budget hotels around Havelock Island are a good choice for budget travellers, as they are comparatively more affordable than hotels in Port Blair. Luxury travellers tend to opt for beachfront resorts, which significantly increase the overall cost.
- Flight Booking - For travellers choosing an Andaman tour package from Chennai including flight, airfare often forms a major portion of the total trip cost. Booking flights in advance can significantly reduce overall package expenses. Last-minute bookings for Port Blair can push flight fares up by around 10% or more
- Water Activities – Numerous activities and water sports are already included in the Andaman package from Chennai. However, adding more activities or multiple rounds of scuba diving, sea walking, parasailing, etc. will increase the budget of your Andaman trip from Chennai.
Best Places to Visit in Andaman
- Cellular Jail, Port Blair: One of the most important historical attractions in Andaman, Cellular Jail offers a closer look at India's freedom struggle through preserved prison cells, galleries, and exhibits. Visit after 3 PM so you have enough time to explore the complex before attending the popular Light and Sound Show in the evening. Since the attraction is located in Port Blair and usually visited on the arrival or departure day, it is a key inclusion in most tour packages from Chennai to Andaman. Entry tickets to the Cellular Jail start from around INR 30 per person.
- Radhanagar Beach, Havelock Island: Known for its white sand shoreline and clear blue waters, Radhanagar Beach is often included in almost every Andaman tour package from Chennai due to its scenic beauty and easy accessibility from Havelock Island. Sunset is the best time to be here, when the sky changes colours and temperatures are more comfortable. Swimming is usually safe in designated areas, although sea conditions should always be checked locally.
- Elephant Beach, Havelock Island: Famous for its shallow coral reefs, Elephant Beach is among the best places in Andaman for snorkelling and water activities. Many visitors choose a morning visit when water visibility is generally better. You can spot colourful reef fish, corals, sea cucumbers, and occasionally sea turtles close to the shore.
- Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island): Once the British administrative headquarters in Andaman, the island is now known for its colonial-era ruins, old churches, and historic buildings gradually reclaimed by nature. Most travellers combine it with a half-day excursion from Port Blair due to its short ferry distance.
- Natural Bridge, Neil Island: Also called the Howrah Bridge, this naturally formed rock arch is best visited during low tide when the surrounding reef bed becomes accessible. The area is known for tidal pools where visitors can often spot starfish, crabs, sea cucumbers, and other marine species.
Things to do in Andaman
- Watch the Light and Sound Show at Cellular Jail: Held in the evening at Cellular Jail, this show narrates stories from India's freedom struggle using lights, sound effects, and historical accounts. It remains one of the most recommended experiences for first-time visitors to Port Blair on their Andaman trip from Chennai.
- Spot thousands of parrots at Parrot Island: Reach the island by boat during the late afternoon and stay until sunset to witness thousands of parrots returning to the mangroves. The sight of large flocks arriving together is what makes this experience special.
- Go scuba diving at Dixon's Pinnacle: Located near Havelock Island, this is one of Andaman's most recognised dive sites for experienced and beginner divers alike. The site is known for healthy coral formations, schools of reef fish, and excellent underwater visibility during much of the diving season.
- Explore Neil Island on a bicycle: Since most attractions on Neil Island are located within short distances, cycling is one of the easiest ways to explore the destination and is often recommended in an Andaman tour package from Chennai for a relaxed sightseeing experience. Beaches, local villages, viewpoints, and natural rock formations can all be covered comfortably in a day.
- Experience bioluminescence kayaking at Havelock Island: On selected moonless nights, naturally occurring microorganisms cause the water to glow when disturbed. Evening kayaking tours offer an opportunity to witness this rare phenomenon, which is usually best observed between November and April. This unique activity is increasingly becoming one of the most sought-after experiences included in tour packages from Chennai to Andaman, particularly among couples and honeymoon travellers.
Insider Tips
- If you are planning an Andaman trip from Chennai around peak months, it is advised to book early during Pongal and school holidays to avoid high prices and low availability.
- The biggest advantage for travellers from Chennai heading to the Andaman Islands is the language familiarity. There are many Tamil-speaking guides and easy availability of South Indian food options on the major islands.
- Always try to choose an early morning departure from Chennai for seamless travel and a better organised plan.
Best Time to Visit Andaman from Chennai: Month by Month
Deciding on the right Andaman package from Chennai involves much more than just booking flights and hotels. Weather plays a crucial role in making the overall experience. Andaman is best enjoyed during the sunny, dry season when the sea is calm and most suitable for water sports. Here’s a month-by-month guide to help you plan more effectively based on your personal preferences and travel style
- October to November (24°C to 31°C): The islands welcome the return of pleasant weather after the monsoon season. Clear skies, greener landscapes, and improving sea conditions make this a great time for sightseeing and water activities.
- December to January (25°C to 30°C | Peak Season): This is when Andaman sees its highest tourist footfall. Pleasant temperatures, calm waters, and festive celebrations make it one of the best periods for beach holidays, island hopping, and water sports.
- February to March (24°C to 31°C): Many travellers consider this the sweet spot for visiting Andaman. The weather remains comfortable, sea visibility is excellent for scuba diving and snorkelling, and crowds are generally lower than during the year-end holiday season.
- April to May (27°C to 33°C): Despite warmer temperatures, these months remain popular among families travelling during school vacations. Water sports continue to operate, and travellers can often find better accommodation availability than during peak winter months.
- June to September (26°C to 32°C | Transition Period): Rainfall becomes more frequent, and rough sea conditions can occasionally affect ferry services and outdoor activities. While the islands are quieter and greener during this period, it is generally not the preferred season for first-time visitors.
Major Festivals and Events in Andaman - Month by Month
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are home to many tribal communities and a rich maritime history. The islands' calendar is packed year-round with carnivals and traditional fairs.
