Satvinder's 6 days trip to Andaman

We recently booked an Andaman trip through TravelTriangle, hosted by Andaman Great Holidays, for a mother and son duo, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Everything was well taken care of — from the clean, comfortable rooms to the seamless transfers and activity planning across different islands. A special mention goes to Mr. Surjit, the Logistics Manager, who truly made a difference. He was highly accommodating, even with our last-minute requests, and ensured we got the best deals on activities. His planning was spot on — very thorough with timelines, which helped us stay relaxed yet never miss out. What stood out the most was Mr. Surjit’s honest and insightful feedback on each activity. He guided us on what’s worth doing and what could be skipped if it felt repetitive, which helped us make the most of our limited time and energy. Overall, a smooth, thoughtful, and safe experience — especially important when traveling with family. Highly recommend both TravelTriangle and Andaman Great Holidays for anyone planning a trip to the islands.
