A holiday in Andaman is incomplete without a trip to the exotic islands of Havelock and Neil. Both these places are the most visited islands on the Andamans. Naturally, everyone going for an Andaman island experience spends 2-3 days in Havelock & Neil. For this, they take a 90 minutes ferry from Port Blair.

Green Ocean 1 and Green Ocean 2 are some of the many ferries operating from Port Blair to Havelock Island and Neil Island. Green Ocean 1 and Green Ocean 2 make for a relaxed ferry experience. The ferry is designed in such a way that it not only offers a comfortable seating space but also an open area for passenger movement. This allows guests to enjoy the scenic beauty in and around the Andaman islands. The Green Ocean 1 and Green Ocean 2 ferries to Havelock and Neil Island can be booked online through their website or through authorized partners like Go2Andaman.

Things to note while booking your Ferries

  • If you are booking your ferry on the day of arrival in Port Blair, make sure there is a time gap of 1.5 hours to 2 hours between your flight arrival and ferry departure time. You will need to be present at the jetty at least 1 hour before the ferry departure time. 
  • Book your ferries in the sequence of your travel. An example: if you are going from Port Blair to Havelock to Neil & then back to Port Blair, book your ferry for Port Blair to Havelock first, then Havelock to Neil & then Neil to Port Blair. 
  • Please enter all your details correctly. If there is any change in title, name, age or gender then tickets will need to be canceled and reissued. This will incur cancellation charges as per our cancellation policy.
  • Your tickets would be issued 3-4 working hours after payment during working hours (9 am to 6 pm IST, Mon to Sat).

GO2ANDAMAN Insider Tips

  • Always book ferry tickets before confirming hotels. We cannot stress on this enough. We have a number of people approaching us every season with a booked hotel at Port Blair (with a strict refund policy) looking to somehow get a ferry ticket from Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) to Port Blair. Unfortunately, once the tickets are sold out, it becomes impossible to get a ferry for that day.
  • Do not leave ferry bookings to the last minute. Andaman islands have become tourist hot spots in the last couple of years leading to a shortage of ferries on all routes, whether it is Havelock to Port Blair or Havelock to Neil Island, during the peak holiday season. Hence ferry tickets get sold out weeks before the scheduled departures. We advise you to book your ferry tickets online as soon as your plan to visit the Andaman Islands is finalized.

Ferry Journey Timeline

  1. After booking your tickets online, you will be sent an email asking for Name, Age, and Gender of all passengers
  2. On providing details, receive your confirmed ticket in an email. Print this out, as soft copy tickets are not accepted. 
  3. Reach Port Blair jetty at least 1 hour prior to your sailing time.
  4. Check-in your luggage and take your allotted seats.
  5. Set sail to Havelock, and enjoy the beautiful views of the sea. Snacks will be served on board.
  6. Reach Havelock jetty in 2 hours.
