Why Travel to Havelock Island?
Havelock Island which is now referred to as Swaraj Dweep is among the best places to visit in India. It is dotted with white sandy beaches, turquoise blue waters, lush mangrove forests and exotic corals. Relax on the secluded beaches of this Island or put on your swimming gear and explore the rich aquatic life inhabiting these waters. You could also lace up your boots and trek across the tranquil wilderness at Havelock Island.
With the world coming to grips with the COVID-19 pandemic, people are beginning to step out of their houses and looking to travel by adhering to the new safety measures. Governments across the world are also gradually opening their economies, permitting businesses and are looking to revive the tourism sector.
So, you can now experience Andamans as we first found it: pristine and untouristed. Make the most of this unique opportunity to have the Best Beach in Asia, Radhanagar Beach, all to yourself.
How to Reach Havelock Island?
Havelock Island is only accessible by sea. The nearest airport where you can alight is Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair. From there, you can either board a government-operated ferry or a privately operated one. We recommend taking a private ferry as there are fewer lines and the booking is a hassle-free experience. The average travel time to Havelock Island from Port Blair is around 2 hours.
Travellers from the Indian mainland can take a direct flight from cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, New Delhi and Kolkata to Port Blair. From the airport in Port Blair, the jetty to board the ferry to Havelock is about 15-20 minutes away. Generally, you have to be present at least one hour before the departure of the ferry. Therefore, kindly ensure there is a sufficient gap between your flight arrival time and ferry departure time.
Safety Protocols at Port Blair:
Being in a remote corner and without direct connection to the mainland, the Andaman Islands have among the lowest number of COVID-19 cases in India. Additionally, there are rapid antigen tests conducted on passengers who arrive at Port Blair.
The results of this test are available within 20 minutes and only those travellers who test negative for the infection will be allowed to proceed further. Upon testing negative for the infection you will receive a certificate stating the same which you will have to produce when you alight at Havelock Island.

The peak season to visit Havelock Island is between October and April. You could also visit during mid-May if you are looking to soak up some sun. If you are looking to explore the serendipity of nature and engage in activities like coral reef exploration, scuba diving and kayaking, it is best to visit during the months of June through September when the monsoon is in full swing.
