Go2Andaman Tips – Neil Island Jetty

• Bharatpur Beach is right next to the jetty—if you arrive early, take a short beach stroll or dip before departure.
• Cell reception can be very weak at the jetty, so inform your hotel/driver of your ferry’s ETA beforehand.
• Early morning departures offer a great sunrise view from the jetty walkway—perfect for some quick photos.
• Shops near the jetty sell local handicrafts at slightly better prices than those at tourist hotspots.
• If you have time, look for coral-viewing glass-bottom boats near the jetty—they often run on the spot.
  
• Neil is smaller and quieter—treat it as a slow travel destination and don’t rush your itinerary.
