Getting Around in Neil Island
Neil Island is a small place, only about 7 km from one corner to another. Although renting a scooter is possible without any hassle, the small size of the islands makes it one of those places that are best explored on a bicycle.
Most resorts can give you a rented bicycle or scooter almost immediately, while cars might need to be pre-booked. Prices vary (bicycles start from INR 100/day, Scooters from INR 400/day, and cars start from INR 1200/day). If you are renting a scooter, make sure you refill gas before sunset as all the fuel stations on the island close by then.
Auto-rickshaws are also broadly available and they’ll cost you INR 100 from the jetty to any resort.

The kayaking experience was super fun and knowledgeable. Mr.Ali was very friendly and ensured we had a clam and a relaxing paddling experience and enriched us with facts about mangrove trees, it’s ecosystem and Abadman islands and clicked some cool pics 🙂
Ross Island is ideally a two part trip, the morning to evening portion includes going around the island looking at the ruins from the era of the British and Japanese rule. the late evening portion includes a spectacular sound, light & video show (yes you read it correctly!!) which has been created specially for Ross island by Revathi (the actress)
This is a over hyped, and not worth the time and money spent to reach here. It used to be called the “Paris of the East” when the British settled here. But everything is destroyed now.
The only good place here is a beach that is on the other side. You will need to climb down and up a lot of steps to get there.
It was a perfect location for family fun, the erstwhile Ross Island has all the history of a mini Paris, albeit at the cost of all Indian labour and is an example of the British opulence over poverty stricken India. Perfect for taking pics and the picturesque light house was delightful. We took the buggy as we were a large family with kids. There are deer and peacocks too.
