1. 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.

2. 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. So, 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.

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 the jetty at least 1 hour prior to your sailing time.
4. Check-in your luggage and take your allotted seats.
5. Set sail to your next destination (Neil, Havelock or Port Blair), and enjoy the beautiful views of the sea. Snacks will be served on board.
6. Reach your destination in or over 90 minutes.

The pricing is higher than government ferries but the journey is more comfortable here. Nautika Ferry booking is relatively easy as schedules are easily available on their website and can be easily booked.

If you want a hassle-free & stress-free holiday, we suggest you to not opt for govt. ferries. Government ferries are primarily aimed at transporting locals and are not recommended for tourists. Go2Andaman does not book govt. ferry tickets.

You can buy the tickets when you arrive in Havelock. Do note that queues for tickets start early in the morning, are usually long and if you are at the far end of the queue, seats might get filled by the time your turn comes.

Are Private Ferries worth the price?

Private ferries from Havelock to Neil Island cost a little more but they are worth the price. They run on time, are clean and well organized with ferry staff to assist you at all points. You can compare fares & timings for all ferries and book tickets for any of the ferries with us. We’re a one-stop shop for all your ferry needs.
