The following post has a list of itineraries for an amazing Andaman Tour that you will remember for your whole life. You can also use the Yatra offers to make it even more affordable.
Day 1 – Arrive at Port Blair and complete the local sightseeing:
It is always good to arrive at a tourist destination in the morning. You can find better places to eat and have the perk of covering some of the local attractions that day itself. After you arrive, you can either hire autos from the airport or get a pick-up service booked from your hotel itself. There are many decent hotels in Junglighat that are located with markets around and lots of local attractions nearby. Visit the museum, Rajiv Gandhi Sports Stadium and Cellular Jail (in the evening preferably, to watch the light and sound show as well).
Day 2 – Ross Island, North Bay Island and Evening Ferry to Havelock:
Rise up early and take the first ferry to the Ross Island and North Bay Island. Watch the Japanese Bunkers and remnants of British Colonial Era; take a dip in waters at the Ross Island for scuba diving; Andaman Dolphin; Snorkelling etc and arrive by late noon ferry back to Port Blair. Go to Havelock the same day via a ferry which is booked via tourist permits and reach Havelock by late evening. You can also book the permits prior going to the Port Blair and apply Makemytrip Coupon code to get decent discounts on the packages.
