How an Andaman trip actually fits together
An Andaman holiday is a chain of connected decisions: flight arrival, first Port Blair night, ferry sectors, island stays, sightseeing, marine activities and final airport buffer. The most reliable way to plan is route first, hotels second and activities third.
The classic first-trip circuit
Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair) is the gateway. Swaraj Dweep (Havelock) is the main beach and marine-activity base. Shaheed Dweep (Neil Island) adds a quieter island rhythm. Longer trips can add Baratang, North Bay, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island, Chidiya Tapu or North/Middle Andaman.
Use both old and current names
Travellers still search Port Blair, Havelock and Neil Island, while official names are Sri Vijaya Puram, Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep. Andaman Now uses both so ferry and hotel planning stays clear.
