Step 1
<p>Your trip begins at the Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex (Aberdeen Jetty) in Port Blair, where you board a shared boat. In about 15 to 20 minutes, you reach Ross Island, also called Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island. Here you get around 1.5 to 2 hours to walk through old British buildings, churches and bunkers wrapped in giant banyan roots, and enjoy sea views from the cliffs. Deer and peacocks often walk right beside you. You then return to the same boat and sail to North Bay Island, which takes about 30 to 40 minutes. At North Bay, enjoy the beach, view the famous lighthouse and try optional water activities like sea walking, snorkelling or a glass bottom boat ride. After your time at North Bay, the same boat brings you back to Port Blair. The full trip takes about 5 to 6 hours.</p>
