Neil Island In Andaman

Firstly, the good part of the trip - response to booking issues from Travel Triangle was good. Shiraj, the driver at Port blair was really good and amicable. He was just amazing- would recommend him for a stress free travel. The place itself is awesome. Cellular jail at Port blair was awesome: gets you closer to a significant part of the freedom struggle. Ross island is also a good visit. Another one that you should include is the Tiranga Memorial - the place where the first tricolor was hoisted in 1943. The best part is havelock Island - good place to do scuba diving (far better than North bay island - which according to us was a waste of time..more to come later in this review), amazing beaches ( Kalapathar and RadhaNagar). Things that could have been better: Initial response from Travel Triangle was poor. I had to follow up and request them as we had not received any quotes. After escalation, things were smooth. I would also expect the exec assigned to manage our booking also reaches out to check if all's going well. That way it's comforting to know you are being taken care off. Coming to Da Oceans world, as said earlier, the driver assigned at Port Blair was really good. But they surely need to plan and co-ordinate well. We had difficulty in reaching out to them prior to our trip as there was no response to our calls, which was really frustrating. We had not received details of the driver and other contact coordinates Even here, after escalation, things fell in place. Our itinerary was planned 15 days in advance and day we reached we were told to accommodate change in itinerary. We reached on Tuesday morning and had planned visit to local beach and cellular jail on that day and next day was reserved for Ross Island and North bay island. The day we reached we were asked to do Ross Island and North bay as suddenly they realised that on Wednesday North bay island will not have much of water sports. This was sheer negligence from Da Oceans, this could have been handled well. We hadn't slept on Tuesday night and here we were asked to do water sports on the same day and that too on the spot. We weren't even carrying change of clothes. On the jetty, where you catch the boat to Ross island and North bay, they take you to a vendor who'll do the booking for the sports activities. Here you have to pay in advance for the activities. At north bay you'll find many a vendors for scuba diving, and the vendor (Divine Paradiso) assigned for us was over booked, he kept asking us to come back later. They were rude and it felt as if they were doing us a favour. Ultimately, at the end we had to cancel and ask for a refund. The only highlight at North bay was the semi submarine drive which takes you a little deep in the water and you can see the coral reef and marine life. There are no good restaurants at North bay, so you end up compromising on the food too. So all in all, day 1 was pretty bad and frustrating. Day 2, local beach carbyns cove was good.Here you get to do jet ski and also shop for some sea shells. On the same day we did visit cellular jail as well in the evening. This apart, the driver really took care of us. After reaching havelock, the guy who was assigned to manage our trip was not there at all. Instead we head somebody else to pick us up, which again according to me shows lack of planning and coordination. Once we reach the hotel, at the reception, we were told that they can't find our booking. The receptionist after attending to all the people, did some few calls and was then able to confirm our booking. Day 1@ havelock, after we checked into the hotel, a new driver gets assigned to pick us up and drop us at a sporting venue for scuba diving, which was not that far from the hotel ( Havelock Island beach resort). Dive Mantra is the vendor here and they are really good. We surely recommend them. After scuba dive, there are no signs of the driver and since our hotel was close by, we chose to walk. Every time we had to step out, we got a new driver. We had to call them everytime and plan our visits, which was expected to be handled by Da Oceans world. In the evening, we did visit Kalapathar beach which is very clean and neatly maintained. Note: connectivity is a big issue here, we recommend all visitors to carry a pre paid bsnl sim. Coming to the visits at Havelock Day2, Elephanta beach was again a sheer waste as they had similar activites as in port Blair except for para gliding. Note: You'll have to catch a boat to reach elephanta beach from havelick jetty, which is around 15-20mins boat ride. After we reached back, we had to wait for about an hour for our driver and guess what again it was again a new driver this time. In the evening we headed toto Radhanagar beach. RadhaNagar beach is a must visit @ Havelock. I must admit, its one of the best beaches we have ever visited. All in all there were few glitches in planning and coordination which can be improved by Da Oceans World. I must admit, the staff at Da Oceans World were quite amicable and responsive, just that proper planning will add to the delight.

thank u for arranging such a nice trip for us. natural bridge Haywizz resort sea shell resort And all the beaches

Hi overall trip was excellent. I faced problem only during pick up in Havelock and Neil island as i have to wait for them .Plus i had the network problem so couldn't call anyone and i had to borrow someone's mobile to contact respective agent in Havelock and Neil. Plus all the driver never wait for us with playcards with name in jetty to help us who came to pick us up. I asked for guide also but none of the drivers came with us as guide and also we had to call them to click out pictures wenevee they available. Drivers used to fdrop us and go somewhere else. Otherwise everything went well. Best moment i had in Havelock while Scuba diving . Nice conversation with the agent Ashif and driver Shakir with good conversation. Thank you travel triangle for arranging the wonderful trip.

Gold India beach resort in Havelock is very worst, no room service. Hotel Aries in Port Blair is super. Cab driver super. Package mentioned areas covered but this is not worth able for my money. Peace Tours Travels is good and Guidance is super especially Radha mam is continuously touching for entire trip. But little worst service is Flight tickets booking. All is good. Superb trip.

Trip was excellent. well coordinated,well executed. Dreamgateways holidays organised it very well. Only downside was Hotel on first day (Coral Cove) was bit iffy.

Naveens travel make was really professional with their guide. Selvam, who was our driver for 4 days did an excellent job. Totally satisfied! Best memory will be the baratang island and the Havelock scuba diving

overall every thing is very good & well managed by lazy yatra. hotel is good on port blair & neil island, but hovelock holiday beach resort is not good.

Thanks for the travel triangle for Making over honeymoon trip unforgettable.... most important think is choosing the travel agency Jublinat travels . heart full thanks for Mrs. Anitha and her team with their hard work and great experience make our trip very safe ,, lovely and enjoyable.... I loved thier way of planning our trip in anadaman.... All the resort are very different and beauty full. its total 200% money worth trip to andaman once again thanks for jubilant travel giving the most memorable trip.....

Had a wonderful time with family and friends. However it would be great if your operators suggest the tourists about best places for water sports. We spent a lot of money in Havelock only to know later that Neil island is better for such sports. If we were told before we would have spent in Neil island instead of Havelock. Scuba diving and water sports in Havelock and Neil island.

The whole trip was awesome...... all the travel coordinators, drivers and hotel staff were very cooperative and very punctual The Baratang trip
