Which is the best month to visit Andaman?

December and January are the best months to visit Andaman, with the calmest seas, clearest skies and most reliable ferry schedules. They are also the busiest and priciest, so book flights and Havelock/Neil ferries well in advance. For near-identical weather with thinner crowds, choose November or February.

What is the best time to visit Andaman overall?

October to May is the best time to visit Andaman. Seas are calm, skies are clear and all water sports and inter-island ferries run reliably. The July–September southwest monsoon is best avoided due to rough seas and frequent ferry suspensions.

Which is the cheapest month to visit Andaman?

June to September is the cheapest time to visit Andaman, as monsoon-season hotel and package rates fall sharply. If you want low prices with better weather, target late September to early October or the early-May shoulder window, just before and after the monsoon.

What is the best time for scuba diving in Andaman?

The best time for scuba diving in Andaman is October to May, peaking February to May when underwater visibility is at its clearest. Most dive operators suspend trips during the July–September monsoon because of rough seas and reduced visibility.

How many days are enough to see Andaman?

Four to seven nights is the sweet spot. Four to five nights covers Port Blair and Havelock, five to six adds Neil Island, and six to seven lets you add Baratang or a North Andaman leg to Diglipur. Because you island-hop by ferry, anything under four nights feels rushed once travel time is counted.

What is the best time to visit Andaman?

October to May is the best time to visit, with calm seas, reliable ferries, and ideal conditions for beaches, sightseeing, and water sports. The June to September monsoon brings rough seas that can suspend boat services to Jolly Buoy, Barren Island, and the outer islands, though it is also the greenest and cheapest season.

Which islands should I visit in Andaman?

Most trips are built around three islands: Port Blair (the gateway for history and day trips), Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) for beaches and diving, and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) for a quieter pace. Add Baratang for its limestone caves and mud volcanoes, or Diglipur in North Andaman for Saddle Peak, if you have six nights or more.

What is the best time to visit Andaman with family?

December to March is the best time for a family trip to Andaman, offering the most predictable weather and gentle seas that suit first-time snorkellers and children. Calm conditions also mean fewer ferry cancellations, which matters when travelling with kids.

How many days are enough for an Andaman trip?

Five to seven days is enough for a first Andaman trip, covering Port Blair, Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) without rushing. Add two or three days if you want to dive, visit Baratang or include the Nicobar-side islands.

What is the off-season in Andaman?

The off-season in Andaman is June to September, during the southwest monsoon. Expect heavy rain, rough seas and frequent ferry and water-sport suspensions, but also the lowest prices and the fewest tourists of the year.

Best Time To Visit Andaman

Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination

The best time to visit Andaman is October to May, when the seas are calm, skies are clear and ferries to Havelock and Neil run on schedule. December and January are peak season: the most reliable weather and the busiest beaches. March to May stays warm and dry with the year’s best underwater visibility for scuba diving and snorkelling. Avoid July to September, the peak of the southwest monsoon, when rough seas frequently suspend ferries and water sports. The shoulder months, October–November and February–May, balance good weather with thinner crowds and lower prices.

Andaman Month-by-Month: Weather & Crowd Table (Jan–Dec)

Month	Temp °C (high/low)	Sea & weather	Crowd	Verdict
January	29 / 23	Calm, dry, clear skies	Peak	BEST
February	31 / 23	Calm, dry, excellent visibility	High	BEST
March	31 / 24	Warm, dry, top dive visibility	High	BEST
April	33 / 25	Hot, humid, mostly calm seas	Moderate	GOOD
May	33 / 25	Hot; pre-monsoon showers build	Low	GOOD
June	31 / 24	SW monsoon onset, rough seas	Low	AVOID
July	30 / 24	Heavy rain, ferries often suspended	Low	AVOID
August	30 / 24	Monsoon, rough seas, low visibility	Low	AVOID
September	30 / 24	Monsoon easing late month	Low	FAIR
October	31 / 24	Retreating monsoon, seas settling	Building	GOOD
November	30 / 23	Post-monsoon, clear, calm	High	BEST
December	29 / 23	Cool, dry, calmest seas	Peak	BEST

Peak, Shoulder & Off Season at a Glance

Season	Months	What to expect	Best for
Peak	Dec–Jan	Most reliable weather, calm seas, highest prices & crowds	First-timers, families wanting certainty
Shoulder	Oct–Nov & Feb–May	Good weather, thinner crowds, better value; Mar–May = top diving	Honeymooners, divers, value seekers
Off	Jun–Sep	Southwest monsoon, frequent ferry suspensions, lowest prices	Budget travellers comfortable with rain & flexible plans

If your dates are flexible, the shoulder months reward you the most: October–November and February–May deliver near-peak weather without peak crowds or pricing. Lock your Havelock and Neil ferries early for December–January, when seats sell out fastest.

Ready to lock in your dates? plan your Andaman trip.

Best Time by Activity: Scuba, Snorkel, Sea Walk & Ferries

Scuba diving & snorkelling: best from October to May, peaking February to May when underwater visibility is at its clearest. Dive operators suspend most trips during the July–September monsoon.

Sea walking & glass-bottom boats: October to April, when the seas around Havelock and North Bay are calmest and operators run full schedules.

Game fishing & kayaking: November to April for the steadiest conditions; mangrove kayaking is best on the calmer high-tide windows of the dry season.

Inter-island ferries (Port Blair – Havelock – Neil): most reliable October to May; expect cancellations and rescheduling during the monsoon, always keep a buffer day.

For more, see water sports in Andaman and scuba diving in Andaman.

Best Time by Traveller: Honeymoon, Family & Friends

Honeymoon: November to February, calm seas, clear skies and the most romantic beach-and-sunset weather, ideal for private sandbank and candlelight-dinner experiences. See our Andaman honeymoon packages.

Family: December to March, the most predictable weather, gentle seas for first-time snorkellers and the widest choice of kid-friendly boat trips.

Friends & adventure groups: February to May, the best diving and water-sports window, with warm weather and good shoulder-season value before the monsoon.

When to Avoid Andaman: Monsoon, Closures & Festivals

The months to be cautious about are July to September, the peak of the southwest monsoon. Heavy rain and rough seas frequently suspend ferries to Havelock and Neil and pause most water sports, so itineraries can change at short notice. Travel is still possible, prices are at their lowest and the islands are lush and uncrowded, but only if you keep flexible dates and a buffer day. Andaman also sees a milder northeast monsoon spell around November–December, usually short showers that rarely disrupt a well-planned trip. For a closer look, read Andaman in June – weather & is it worth it.

Festivals worth timing your trip around: the Island Tourism Festival (typically held in the dry winter season) and the Beach Festival bring cultural performances, food stalls and water-sports displays to Port Blair and Havelock.

Climate in Andaman

Summer Season in Andaman

The summer season in Andaman and Nicobar Islands lasts from April to June. It is considered the best time to visit Andaman Nicobar. The temperature usually remains between 24 and 36 degrees Celsius during this time. It is the perfect time to dip in the Andaman Sea. For the adventurers at heart, the weather is hugely favourable for water sports like paragliding, surfing, scuba diving, snorkelling, and banana boat rides at this time of the year. Furthermore, most school and college-going youth get a long break in the summer, which is the best time to go to Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Monsoon Season in Andaman

Andaman experiences two monsoon seasons, not one. This means the region receives rainfall twice yearly—once between July and September from the southwest monsoon and again between November and January from the northeast monsoon. The latter is very mild and does not rain much; however, the rainfall is heavy and rough between July and September. The temperatures remain pleasant - between 22 and 34 degrees Celsius. But, due to tropical storms and high tides, beaches can sometimes be closed off. The tourist influx is reduced significantly; thus, monsoon is considered the off-season for tourism. However, if one is looking for the raw & torrential beauty of the tropics, this could be the best time to visit the Andaman Islands. Nature is in full bloom, and lush vegetation surrounds everything.

Winter Season in Andaman

As the region lies close to the equator and sits squat in the middle of the ocean, Andaman and Nicobar Islands do not experience the winter season. Yes, the temperatures are slightly lower, but not by much, remaining within the range of 19 degrees and 30 degrees Celsius. The months of October to March are thus the best time to visit the Andaman and Nicobar Islands if you’re looking forward to various adventure activities and romantic walks by the beach. The weather during this time is virtually identical to the weather in the summer months, except that the temperature is slightly lower, and you might see occasional rainfall.

Jagan's 7 days trip to Andaman

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Testimonial for Peral Andaman Our Andaman trip was truly unforgettable, and all the credit goes to Peral Andaman for their excellent planning and support. From ferry bookings and hotel arrangements to sightseeing and activity coordination, everything was managed professionally and without a

ny hassle. The team was always available to assist us, ensuring our journey was smooth and enjoyable. The ferry travel between Port Blair, Havelock, Neil Island, and Ross Island was well coordinated, and their guidance helped us make the most of our time. The early morning sightseeing, the unique 58 km convoy journey through the tribal reserve, the breathtaking beaches, and the amazing water sports made this trip one of the best vacations we've had. My suggestion to anyone visiting Andaman is to plan at least 6 nights and 7 days to enjoy the islands at a relaxed pace. Thank you once again, Peral Andaman, for your outstanding service, hospitality, and continuous support. We highly recommend your team to anyone planning an Andaman holiday. A big thank you to Peral Andaman for helping make our Andaman trip a wonderful and memorable experience. Everything was very well organized, and your support throughout the journey was truly appreciated. Your excellent coordination, prompt assistance, and friendly service made our vacation completely stress-free. We had an amazing time because of your team's efforts. A few tips for anyone planning an Andaman trip: - Ferry tickets should be booked well in advance, especially for the routes Port Blair → Havelock → Neil Island → Port Blair → Ross Island, to get the best timings and avoid last-minute issues. - Be prepared for early mornings. Most sightseeing starts between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM, and you'll usually return to your hotel only around 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM after a full day of activities. - One of the unique experiences is the 58 km journey through the tribal reserve, where travel is allowed only with a police convoy while going and returning. It is a truly different experience and offers a glimpse of the region's unique environment. - The destinations are absolutely beautiful, and the water sports and adventure activities are fantastic. They are a must-try for anyone visiting the islands. Overall, I highly recommend planning at least 6 nights and 7 days to comfortably explore the major islands and enjoy all the attractions without rushing. Once again, thank you, Peral Andaman, for your outstanding support and making our holiday so special. I highly recommend your services to anyone planning an Andaman vacation!

Mr Jhashobhit

Kolkata

Mr's 5 days trip to Andaman

Overall Experience: While the itinerary ultimately covered all the promised destinations, the first few days of the trip were highly stressful due to poor breakfast service, below-average accommodations, transportation discrepancies, and lack of support from both the booking partner and local agent

s. 1. Breakfast Service (First 2 Days) Day 1: My flight timings changed, and I requested an early breakfast, which was denied. While I understood the policy, it set a disappointing tone. Day 2: We had an early morning checkout to travel to Havelock Island. We were provided a packed breakfast consisting only of low-quality bread, butter, jam, and a packed mango juice. This was highly unsatisfactory. 2. Havelock Island Accommodations & Itinerary Delays Resort Quality: The resort provided on Havelock Island was extremely poor. The rooms felt like below-average huts, resulting in a terrible experience. Service Delay: It took almost an hour of arguing to get our room changed. Lack of Local Agent Support: Because of the room change, our itinerary ran late. The local agent asked why we were running late and insensitively suggested we should have gone on the tour first and changed rooms later. It is unreasonable to expect guests to go out without freshening up first. 3. Transport Issues Havelock Island: We were initially given an Alto to travel to Radhanagar Beach, which did not match what was promised during booking. After confronting the agent, they upgraded us to a Scorpio for the return journey to the resort. Neil Island: The driver on Neil Island was incredibly rushed, constantly forcing us to hurry through our sightseeing because he had another group of guests waiting for his next trip. 4. Discounts and Financial Discrepancies We were promised a 40% discount on water sports activities, but this was not honored. We were forced to pay the full price/whatever rate was quoted on-site, with zero assistance from your team. 5. Booking Partner & Coordinator Support The resort provided on Neil Island was very good, and the final legs of the trip went smoothly. However, the travel partner we booked through provided almost no assistance during the trip. It felt like we had to figure everything out on our own, and we were left entirely at the mercy of the local agent. Conclusion The lack of coordination, poor initial accommodations, and unhelpful local support made the first few days of our vacation incredibly uneasy and stressful. I expect a formal response regarding the unhonored discounts and the standard of service provided
