Step 1
<p>Your day begins with a scenic 45-minute drive from Port Blair to Wandoor Jetty. After a quick permit and baggage check by the forest department, you board your boat and sail through the calm, clear waters of Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park. In about 35 to 50 minutes, you reach Jolly Buoy Island or Red Skin Island, depending on which island is open on your travel date. Step onto a clean, peaceful beach with soft white sand and turquoise water. The water is calm and shallow, with colourful corals and fish close to the shore, making it great for swimming and snorkelling. Relax under the trees, enjoy the quiet surroundings and take beautiful photos. After about 2 to 3 hours on the island, the same boat brings you back to Wandoor Jetty. The full trip from Wandoor takes about 5 to 6 hours.</p>
