Andaman Trip Cost: 6-Day Port Blair & Havelock Budget Breakdown

The short answer

For four adults travelling 6 days and 5 nights, an Andaman trip is estimated at ₹1.1 lakh to ₹1.6 lakh in total — roughly ₹28,000 to ₹40,000 per person, whichever city you fly from (flights to Port Blair are priced similarly across India). All figures are estimates for planning only.

Where the money goes

Andaman is an island economy — several costs are fixed no matter your budget:

• Return flights to Port Blair: often the single biggest line, and they rarely drop below ₹8,000–₹12,000 per person round trip.
• Inter-island ferries: Port Blair–Havelock–Neil catamaran tickets are per person and sell out in peak season.
• Stay: 2 rooms × 5 nights. Port Blair is cheaper; beach resorts on Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) cost a premium.
• Activities: scuba diving is per person, glass-bottom boat and snorkelling trips are usually per person too.
• Food and local cabs: simple and fairly priced, but Havelock cab rates are higher than Port Blair.

How to save money in Andaman

A few decisions make the biggest difference.

• Book flights 6–8 weeks ahead — Port Blair fares climb fast close to travel dates.
• Stay two nights in Port Blair and two on Havelock instead of switching hotels every night.
• Take the government ferry instead of the private catamaran where the timing works — it is a third of the price.
• Limit scuba to one or two divers; snorkelling at Elephant Beach gives much of the experience for a fraction of the cost.

Plan the days, not just the money

Ferry timings shape the whole trip: most itineraries lose a half-day to each crossing. Build your plan around two ferry days, one Port Blair sightseeing day (Cellular Jail, Ross Island) and two full Havelock beach days — then the budget falls into place naturally.

Andaman trip cost for couples, honeymoon and groups

For a couple, an Andaman trip costs a little more than half the four-person total, because ferries and flights are per head while cabs and some rooms are shared. An Andaman honeymoon with a sea-view resort in Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) costs noticeably more than a beach hut or guest house, so the stay type is the biggest choice after flights.

Adding Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), Baratang or a scuba dive changes the total by ferry tickets and activity fees. Put your exact travellers and nights into TripSahay to see an Estimated total before comparing Andaman tour packages.

Cheapest time to visit Andaman and how to save

October to May is the main season for an Andaman trip; Christmas, New Year and summer holidays bring the highest flight and resort prices. Late September, early October and May weekdays are usually better value, though sea conditions can affect ferries.

Save by booking Port Blair flights early, choosing government or standard ferries over premium ones where available, staying in Havelock guest houses away from the main beach, and renting a scooter instead of daily cabs.
