Introduction
How to Reach Andaman from Chennai
By Air (recommended):
Chennai (MAA) has direct flights to Port Blair / Sri Vijaya Puram (IXZ), flight time is roughly 2 hours. Because Port Blair’s airport operates a daytime-only window, take an early-morning Chennai departure to reach the islands with the day still ahead of you.
By Sea:
Chennai is one of only three mainland ports (with Kolkata and Visakhapatnam) running government passenger ships to Port Blair, the crossing takes roughly 60 hours. It is a slow, budget alternative; for almost every traveller the direct ~2h flight is the practical choice.

Best Time to Visit Andaman from Chennai
October to mid-May is the best window to visit Andaman from Chennai, with calm seas, reliable ferries and clear water for diving. The shoulder months (October, November, March, April) pair good weather with softer fares, while December–January is peak, so book the direct Chennai flight 3–4 weeks ahead before the seats fill. The southwest monsoon (June–September) brings rougher seas and the odd ferry cancellation, but also the cheapest package prices from Chennai, so it is a good-value window if you stay flexible.
| Window | Weather / sea | Best for | From-Chennai note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct–Nov (shoulder) | Calm, fresh post-monsoon | Diving, beaches | Good fares, fewer crowds |
| Dec–Feb (peak) | Cool, dry, best seas | Honeymoon, families | Book direct flights early |
| Mar–mid-May (shoulder) | Warm, calm, great visibility | Watersports, scuba | Value before summer |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Rough seas, ferry risk | Budget trips | Lowest prices, stay flexible |
Places to Visit
From Chennai, most itineraries route Port Blair to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) to Neil (Shaheed Dweep). Port Blair is where the history sits, with the Cellular Jail and Ross Island. Havelock is the beach stop, home to Radhanagar for sunsets and Elephant Beach for snorkelling and try-scuba. Neil is the quiet one, with Bharatpur, Laxmanpur and the Natural Bridge. Adventure-seekers add scuba at Havelock, sea-walking at North Bay, and a Baratang limestone-cave day. The Nicobar group is largely a protected/restricted zone, so an “Andaman & Nicobar package from Chennai” covers the Andaman islands of the Union Territory.
