Where the Money Goes: Ferry, Stay, Food, Transport and Activities
Hotel and activities are the two lines that move your total the most; ferry and food stay fairly steady.
1. Ferry: Port Blair to Havelock
Cost: From ₹1,600 per person each way, so about ₹3,200 return
Fares depend on the operator and the class you pick (premium and luxury classes cost more). Book early in December and January, when popular sailings sell out. The ferry takes roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the vessel.
Insider tip: Check the latest fare and timing with us before booking, as operators revise schedules often.
2. Stay
Cost per room per night: ₹2,000 (budget), ₹3,500 (mid-range), ₹8,000 (luxury)
For 3 nights that is ₹6,000, ₹10,500 and ₹24,000 per room, or ₹3,000, ₹5,250 and ₹12,000 per person when two share. Beach-facing and Radhanagar-side properties sit at the higher end of each band.
3. Food
Cost: About ₹2,000 per person per day
This covers three meals at cafes and restaurants, with seafood and a coffee break. Local thalis cost less; resort dining costs more. Over 3 days, plan ₹6,000 per person.
4. Local Transport
Cost: Scooter or bike from ₹500 per day; private cab from ₹2,400 per day
A scooter suits couples and solo travellers on a budget. A cab is easier for families and for the Radhanagar and Kalapathar run. Our totals assume one cab day for mid-range and a cab plus extra rides for luxury.
5. Activities
| Activity | Cost per person |
|---|---|
| Scuba diving | ₹2,500 to ₹3,500 |
| Snorkeling | From ₹1,000 |
| Sea walk | From ₹3,500 |
| Glass-bottom boat or semi-submarine | From ₹1,000 |
| Jet ski, parasailing and similar | ₹1,000 to ₹2,500 |
| Kayaking | ₹1,500 to ₹3,500 |
| Dolphin or bird watching | ₹2,500 to ₹8,000 |
| Elephant Beach boat (round trip) | About ₹1,000 |
We budget ₹2,000 for a light plan (snorkeling and one ride), ₹5,000 for mid-range (scuba or sea walk plus extras) and ₹13,000 for a full luxury plan with several activities.

Cost of Each Extra Night
Each extra night adds about ₹3,000 per person on a budget, ₹3,750 mid-range and ₹6,000 in luxury. That is half the room rate plus ₹2,000 for meals.
Adding a Day Trip to Neil Island
A Neil Island day trip adds roughly ₹5,000 to ₹6,000 per person, mostly for the ferry and sightseeing. Read our comparison of the two islands before you decide.
Peak Season vs Off-Season
December and January bring the highest hotel rates and the fullest ferries, so book 3 to 4 weeks ahead. Outside those months, rooms are easier to find and often cheaper. During the monsoon, some water sports and ferries can pause because of weather, so keep a spare day.
Ways to Save Money
- Travel outside December and January for lower room rates.
- Share a room between two or more people, since the room is your biggest single cost.
- Rent a scooter instead of a cab if you are comfortable riding.
- Pick one big activity, such as scuba, and add low-cost ones like snorkeling.
- Eat at local cafes for lunch and keep resort dining for one evening.
- Book ferry and stay together through our andaman tour packages to lock in prices.
