Andaman family tour packages, from ₹32,000 per person
Booked direct with the Port Blair team that runs the trip — no middlemen, no aggregator margin. Our family trip is a 6-night Port Blair — Havelock — Neil route built around children: calm beaches, a glass-bottom boat, easy snorkelling, all ferries and transfers handled, and a spare day before your flight so weather cannot strand you. The honest part first — with kids, an unhurried pace beats a packed schedule every time.
What the family trip includes
The 6N/7D Family Holiday, from ₹32,000 per person. It is a starting point we shape around your family — dates, ages and budget — not a fixed menu.
Route & pace
A 6-night Port Blair — Havelock — Neil trip built for children: fewer moves, private transfers, and time to actually be at the beach rather than rushing to the next one.
Ferries
Inter-island crossings booked in the right class and sequence, with seats held together — the part that trips up self-planned family trips.
Hotels
Family rooms matched to your budget and the right island split, picked for things that matter with kids: short walks, shade, and hotels that will do baby food on request.
Transfers & activities
Airport pickups, jetty transfers and cabs, plus the listed sightseeing with permits and timings handled — someone waiting at every arrival so tired children never wait around.
Flights to Port Blair are usually arranged separately — we advise on the calmest timing and city routes so you are not landing with over-tired children. Personal spends, optional activities, and anything marked extra sit outside the package price; we tell you what is in and what is not, in writing, before you pay.
The pledge that matters most to parents
Every trip is priced in one itemised written quote — hotels, ferries, transfers and inclusions line by line, held for seven days. If it is not on the quote, ask us to add it before you pay; the quote is the trip. Families book earliest and have the most riding on what was promised, which is exactly why the promise is in writing. All three of our booking pledges are on the about page.
The honest bit: go slow, and keep the buffer day
Families do best on an unhurried plan, not a packed transfer schedule. With children, the two rules we hold to on every trip matter even more. First, you land in Port Blair on day one and stay the night rather than racing a same-day ferry with tired kids and luggage. Second — the one we will not bend on — you keep a buffer day in Port Blair before your flight home.
Here is why the buffer matters more with a family. Return ferries from Havelock and Neil can be cancelled on a rough-sea day. If that is also your flight day, a cancelled ferry means a missed flight — and a missed ferry with hungry, over-tired children is exactly the thing to avoid. Spend your last night near the airport and a weather disruption becomes a shrug instead of a crisis. We would rather sell you one fewer island and one more calm morning than a trip that looks full on paper and unravels on the ground.
What suits families with small kids
Calm morning beaches
Kalapathar and Radhanagar in Havelock, Laxmanpur in Neil — flat, shallow water early in the day before the sun and the crowds build. This is most of what small children actually want.
Glass-bottom boat at North Bay
You see coral and fish without anyone getting in deep water — the easiest way to show reef life to kids who are too young to snorkel.
Easy snorkelling at Elephant Beach
Shallow, close-in reef reached by a short boat ride, with life jackets and guides. Good for confident older children; toddlers stay on the sand.
Ross Island and the light-and-sound show
Short hops, deer and ruins to wander, and an evening show at the Cellular Jail that older kids sit through happily.
What we usually skip with small children
The 2:30am Baratang start
Limestone caves and the mud volcano mean leaving Port Blair around 2:30am down a convoy road. It is a long, tiring day — we usually steer families with small children away from it and use that day for a calm beach instead.
Long open-water boat rides
Some day-trips involve extended time in open sea that can be rough and make young kids seasick. We keep boat legs short and pick calmer days for the ones worth doing.
Packing three islands into a short trip
The most common family mistake is too many ferries in too few days. With kids, one fewer island and one more slow morning is almost always the better trip.
“Since we were traveling with an infant, Tropical Andaman Tours was very helpful in customising our hotels and trip schedule, they suggested a proper itinerary to suit my little one in terms of hotels which will provide baby food on request, ruled out any places not worth visiting … no proper shade for feeding purpose, etc.”

Who this trip suits
Families who want a measured pace over a packed one — parents with toddlers who need shade and short walks, families with school-age kids ready for a glass-bottom boat and shallow snorkelling, and multi-generation groups travelling with grandparents. If your idea of a good holiday is three islands in four days, this is not that; it is the calmer trip, and with children it is the one that actually works. Prices are from ₹32,000 per person and move with your dates, hotel tier and group — send us the details and we price it in writing.
Plan the details
Family trip questions, answered straight
Is Andaman good for families with kids?
Yes, and it suits families better than most beach destinations when the pace is right. The water off Havelock and Neil is calm and shallow in the mornings, the islands are safe and easy-going, and there is enough variety — beaches, a glass-bottom boat, ruins, an evening show — to keep different ages happy. The one thing that makes or breaks a family trip here is not the place, it is the schedule: an unhurried plan works, a packed transfer schedule with young children does not.
What is the best age to take kids to Andaman?
Any age can travel — we have planned trips for families with infants as well as teenagers. The easiest window is roughly 4 and up, when children can enjoy the boat rides and shallow snorkelling. For babies and toddlers it is very doable too; it just means choosing hotels with short walks and shade, keeping boat legs short, and building in rest time. We plan the trip around who is actually coming.
What activities are kid-friendly in Andaman?
Calm morning swims at Kalapathar, Radhanagar and Laxmanpur beaches; the glass-bottom boat at North Bay to see coral without deep water; a short Ross Island hop for deer and ruins; and the Cellular Jail light-and-sound show in the evening. Confident older children enjoy the shallow snorkelling at Elephant Beach with life jackets and a guide. We keep the very early starts and long open-water rides off a young family’s plan.
How many days do you need for a family trip to Andaman?
Six nights is the comfortable answer for a family — enough for Port Blair, Havelock and Neil at a pace that does not feel like a checklist, with a spare day so a rough-sea ferry cannot derail your flight home. Five nights works if you keep it tighter. We would gently talk you out of three or four nights with small children: it means more ferries and less beach, which is the opposite of what a family trip should be.
How much does an Andaman trip cost for a family?
Our family package starts from ₹32,000 per person, and most families of four spend ₹88,000 – ₹2,20,000 in total excluding flights, depending on season, hotel tier and activities. Off-season (June–September) sits at the bottom of that range, the December–January surcharge window at the top. Children's pricing depends on age and bedding — we itemise it in the written quote. The full breakdown of what moves the number is on our trip cost page.
Will the kids eat okay on the islands?
Yes, with a little planning. South Indian breakfasts (dosa, idli) are everywhere and reliably child-friendly, Port Blair has the widest choice including familiar North Indian food, and hotel kitchens on Havelock and Neil can do simple plates. Two habits help: carry snacks for ferry and sightseeing days, since meal stops can be far apart, and eat dinner early — island kitchens wind down sooner than mainland ones. The full honest picture is on our island food guide.
Is Andaman safe for children?
It is a calm, low-crime set of islands and the beaches we send families to have shallow, gentle water in the mornings. The real safety points are practical ones we plan for: sun and heat (early starts, shade, water), sea conditions (short boat legs on calm days, life jackets on the water), and healthcare (Port Blair has the main hospital, so we keep your last night there before the flight). We hand over local numbers and stay reachable through the trip.
Are the ferries okay with kids?
Generally yes — the main Port Blair–Havelock–Neil crossings are on comfortable air-conditioned catamarans that take one to two hours, and we book seats together. On rough-sea days the ride can be bumpy, which is exactly why we keep boat legs short, avoid the roughest routes with young children, and never put your ferry on the same day as your flight. If the sea turns, a spare day means a cancelled ferry is an inconvenience, not a missed flight.
