Fees for Sea Walk in Andaman

Sea Walk in Andaman Price 2026: At a Glance

Typical operator figures for the 2026 season. Both venues are priced the same; what changes is the boat transfer and the marine life you see.

What the INR 3,500 Sea Walk Fee Includes

The standard per-person fee is an all-in price for the activity itself. Most operators include:

Helmet and safety gear: the glass helmet, weight belt and oxygen feed.

Trained instructor guidance: a certified guide stays with you for the full walk.

Entry to the sea-walk zone: the cordoned coral area at North Bay or Elephant Beach.

Pre-session briefing: equipment check, hand signals and breathing practice.

Two things usually cost extra. Underwater photos and video are an add-on with most operators, and the boat or ferry transfer to the island is sometimes bundled into a wider tour rather than the sea-walk ticket. Confirm both when you book so the INR 3,500 figure is the final one.

Best Places & How the Cost Varies

North Bay Island is the default choice. It sits a 15–20 minute boat ride from the Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex in Port Blair, the water is shallow and calm, and the reef is dense, which is why it carries the bulk of Andaman's sea-walk traffic and the steadiest pricing.

Elephant Beach near Havelock is the second venue. It is usually combined with snorkelling on a Havelock day trip, so the sea walk itself is the same INR 3,500–4,000 but you pay more overall for the ferry and the wider activity package.

Season is the other lever. The sea walk runs from October to May, when the seas are calm and visibility is best; operators suspend it through the June–September monsoon. Rates sit at the upper end during the December–March peak and ease slightly in the shoulder months. Booking a group slot rather than a private session is the simplest way to land the lower INR 3,500 figure.

Sea Walk vs Scuba vs Snorkelling: Cost Comparison

How the sea walk price compares with the other two underwater activities in Andaman:

If you are weighing the options, compare the scuba diving cost in Andaman and the snorkelling charges in Andaman. The sea walk sits between them: pricier than snorkelling, similar to a guided intro dive, but the only one of the three that needs no swimming ability at all.

Factors That Affect the Sea Walk Price

Venue & facilities: North Bay and Elephant Beach hold steady rates because of clear water and better support; smaller spots can be cheaper but with thinner reef.

Session length: the standard ~20 minutes underwater is built into the INR 3,500; extended slots cost more.

Group vs private: group batches are the cheapest; a private or couple-only slot carries a premium.

Photography: professional underwater photos and video are an add-on, not part of the base fee.

Season: December–March peak sits at the top of the range; shoulder months trend lower.

Duration, Depth, Age Limit & Who Can Do It

You walk on the sea floor at about 6–7 metres for roughly 20 minutes, with the full experience (briefing, kitting up and the walk) taking around 45 minutes. A glass helmet fed with a constant oxygen supply keeps your head dry and lets you breathe normally, so swimming is never required.

Most operators set the age limit at roughly 8 to 60 years, though the exact band varies, some accept from age 7, others cap higher. Anyone with heart conditions, lung or ear problems, or who is pregnant should check with the operator and a doctor first. The activity suits non-swimmers, families with children, seniors who are fit to participate, honeymoon couples, and travellers short on time who still want to get underwater.

Is the Sea Walk Safe?

Yes, it is one of the safest underwater activities in Andaman. Certified instructors stay beside you throughout, the helmet and oxygen gear is inspected before every batch, and sessions only run in calm, weather-cleared conditions. Because the walk happens in shallow, supervised water with no diving technique involved, non-swimmers and first-timers are well within their comfort zone.

How to Book at the Best Price + Best Time

Pre-book online rather than paying on the spot, confirmed slots avoid peak-day surcharges and sell-outs.

Pick a group batch and an early-morning or late-afternoon slot, when the water is clearest and rates are lowest.

Travel October–May: the activity is suspended in the monsoon, and shoulder months are gentler on price than the December–March peak.

Booking through TravelTriangle keeps pricing transparent with no hidden charges. For the wider experience (what the walk is like, marine life and photos) read the full sea walk in Andaman guide, and check sea walk tips before you go.

Is the Sea Walk Worth the Price?

For beginners, non-swimmers and families, the INR 3,500 sea walk is the best-value way to stand on the ocean floor and watch coral and reef fish up close without any training. It costs more than snorkelling but asks nothing of your swimming ability, and it lands close to a guided intro scuba dive while being far simpler. If your goal is an easy, photo-worthy underwater first, the price is well justified.
