Day 1 — Arrive Port Blair: Corbyn’s Cove & the Cellular Jail Light-and-Sound Show

Fly into Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) at Port Blair, officially renamed Sri Vijaya Puram in September 2024. Most mainland flights land by early afternoon, so keep Day 1 light. Check in, then drive 7 km to Corbyn’s Cove, Port Blair’s closest beach, for a quiet coconut-palm walk. In the evening, watch the Light and Sound show at the Cellular Jail — the freedom-struggle narration projected onto the colonial prison walls is genuinely moving and a memorable first night out. The show runs in the evenings; the jail and show are closed on Mondays, so if you arrive on a Monday swap this with a North Bay or Ross Island half-day. End the night with dinner by the water.

Day 2 — Cruise to Havelock & Sunset at Radhanagar Beach

After breakfast, transfer to the jetty for the morning cruise ferry to Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), roughly 1.5 to 2 hours across about 38–40 km of open sea. Book a private air-conditioned catamaran (Makruzz, Green Ocean or Nautika) in advance — seats sell out in peak season. Check into your Havelock resort and spend the afternoon at Radhanagar Beach (Beach No. 7), named Asia’s Best Beach by TIME magazine in 2004. Time it for sunset: the wide white-sand bay with almost no construction behind it is the single most romantic spot in the islands. This is the classic honeymoon-photo evening.

Day 3 — Havelock: Elephant Beach Snorkel/Scuba, Kalapathar & a Couple’s Spa

Give yourselves a full second day on Havelock rather than rushing on. Take the short boat ride to Elephant Beach for snorkelling over shallow coral, or book a beginner scuba dive — no certification needed, and intro dives stay at a gentle 10–12 metres with a personal instructor (ignore the “200 ft” myth that circulates online). In the afternoon, unwind at Kalapathar Beach on the quieter eastern shore, lined with black rock and forest. Most Havelock resorts offer in-room or beach couple’s spa treatments — a good way to spend the warm midday hours before another sunset.

Day 4 — Ferry to Neil Island: Natural Bridge & Laxmanpur Sunset

Sail on to Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep), the smallest and most laid-back of the three honeymoon islands, about 40 minutes to 1.5 hours from Havelock by ferry. Neil is for couples who want to do very little, beautifully. Visit Bharatpur Beach for calm-water snorkelling or a glass-bottom boat, then walk to the Natural Bridge (locally called Howrah Bridge), a coral-rock arch best seen at low tide — check the tide chart so you don’t miss it. Close the day at Laxmanpur Beach, Neil’s west-facing sunset beach, where the long low-tide sandbar makes for a slow barefoot evening walk.

Day 5 — Back to Port Blair: Ross Island, Chidiya Tapu Sunset & Shopping

Take a morning ferry back to Port Blair (about 1.5–2 hours from Neil). Use the afternoon for a half-day boat trip to Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep) with its photogenic British-era ruins and tame deer, or drive to Chidiya Tapu, the “sunset point” at the island’s southern tip, for the last big sky of the trip. Squeeze in some shopping at Aberdeen Bazaar and the Sagarika emporium for shell craft, pearl jewellery and wood — Andaman’s shopping is limited, so set expectations and buy what you love when you see it.

Day 6 — Departure

Enjoy an unhurried breakfast and, if your flight is late, squeeze in one last walk before the transfer to IXZ. Most mainland flights leave by early afternoon, so confirm your pickup the night before. Six days is enough to leave the islands relaxed rather than rushed — which is exactly what a honeymoon should feel like.

The whole itinerary hinges on three ferry hops. Private air-conditioned cruise ferries are the comfortable choice for couples; book online in advance, especially December to February.

Government ferries are cheaper but harder to book and less predictable; for a honeymoon, the private cruises are worth the extra. Keep at least a 2-hour buffer between your Day 6 ferry/return and your flight in case of sea-state delays.

Best Time For An Andaman Honeymoon

The Andamans are a year-round-warm tropical destination, but the honeymoon sweet spot is the dry, calm-sea window. The peak season runs October to May; for the best mix of clear water, good ferry reliability and golden sunsets, November to February is ideal. Monsoon (June to September) brings lower prices and lush green islands but rougher crossings and a higher chance of a cancelled ferry.

The real couple whose June trip inspired this guide found the islands humid by day but with pleasant, breezy evenings perfect for beach walks — proof that off-season can still work if you stay flexible on ferry days.

Beyond the itinerary, these are the experiences couples rate highest — most can be arranged through your hotel or trip planner.

• A private candlelight dinner on the beach or by the pool — on our reference trip, the Port Blair hotel surprised the couple with one on their last evening; most honeymoon properties offer it on request.
• Sunset at Radhanagar Beach (Havelock) — the signature honeymoon photo of the islands.
• A beginner scuba dive or sea-walk for two at Elephant Beach or North Bay (no swimming skills needed).
• A couple’s spa session at your Havelock resort during the warm midday hours.
• A glass-bottom boat ride at Bharatpur (Neil) over the coral gardens.
• A quiet low-tide walk to Neil’s Natural Bridge, then Laxmanpur sunset.

Six days (5N/6D) is the most popular Andaman honeymoon length because it covers all three islands without back-to-back ferries. Here is how it compares so you can pick the trip that fits your leave and pace.

Follow these steps in order and the whole trip falls into place in an afternoon.

1. Lock the flights. Book flights to Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ), Port Blair, first — fares drive the rest of the budget and direct seats are limited.
2. Fix the island nights. Five nights splits best as Port Blair (1) → Havelock (2) → Neil (1) → Port Blair (1). Two nights on Havelock is the key to a relaxed honeymoon.
3. Book the ferries early. Reserve private cruise ferries (Makruzz / Green Ocean / Nautika) for all three hops as soon as dates are set — they sell out in peak season.
4. Choose romantic stays. Pick honeymoon resorts on Havelock (near Radhanagar) and Neil; ask about candlelight dinner and couple’s spa add-ons when booking.
5. Reserve activities. Pre-book the experiences that have limited slots — scuba intro dives, glass-bottom boats and any private beach dinner.
6. Sort permits & ID. Indian citizens need no permit for the main islands; foreign nationals register on arrival at the airport. Carry photo ID for ferry boarding.
7. Pack smart. Pack light cottons, swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and any motion-sickness tablets for the crossings.

Match your hotel to each island’s mood — lively-but-convenient in Port Blair, beach-romantic on Havelock, barefoot-quiet on Neil.

• Port Blair: city-edge hotels and beach resorts near Corbyn’s Cove keep you close to the airport and the Cellular Jail show. The reference couple stayed at a Port Blair resort that arranged their surprise candlelight dinner.
• Havelock (Swaraj Dweep): the honeymoon heart of the trip — resorts range from boutique beach cottages to luxury names like Taj Exotica and Symphony Palms near Radhanagar. Spend two nights here.
• Neil (Shaheed Dweep): smaller, quieter stays close to Laxmanpur and Bharatpur for couples who want stillness on their last island night.

Costs vary widely by season and hotel tier, so treat these as planning bands, not quotes. They are land-only per couple for 5N/6D (Port Blair–Havelock–Neil) and exclude flights to Port Blair.

The couple whose trip shaped this guide spent around ₹72,500 for two on a June (off-season), land-only 5N/6D package — a useful real-world reference point in the premium band.

Six days in the Andamans gives a couple exactly what a honeymoon should: two slow Havelock nights, a Neil island to themselves, Radhanagar sunsets and a candlelit dinner — all without a single rushed morning. Plan the flights and ferries first, keep the pace gentle, and the islands do the rest.
