What you get
Andaman Tour Packages from Mumbai: The Short Answer
Andaman tour packages from Mumbai start with a one-stop flight to IXZ at Sri Vijaya Puram — roughly five hours of flying via Chennai, Bengaluru or Kolkata, with no direct BOM–IXZ service. Five to seven days covers the standard three-island circuit of Sri Vijaya Puram, Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep.
Every mumbai to andaman tour itinerary begins with a connection at a mainland hub. IndiGo and Air India are the carriers most commonly used on this routing, and the final sector into IXZ can be schedule-sensitive, so a generous layover at Chennai, Bengaluru or Kolkata protects the rest of the trip.
Once you land, the trip is built around three bases: Sri Vijaya Puram in South Andaman, Swaraj Dweep (Havelock) and Shaheed Dweep (Neil). Five to seven days is the working range for a first visit; shorter trips drop one island, longer trips allow diving or a slower beach pace. Indian citizens need no visa, Restricted Area Permit or Inner Line Permit for this standard circuit — valid government photo ID is sufficient for the flight, ferry and hotel check-ins.

Option 1
Budget
Ideal for
Cost-conscious travellers and backpackers who prioritise beaches over amenities
A six-night andaman trip from mumbai opens in Sri Vijaya Puram for heritage sightseeing, moves to Swaraj Dweep for beaches and water sports, adds Shaheed Dweep for a quieter island day, and returns to Sri Vijaya Puram for the flight home. Day 1 is effectively a travel day, so the first full sightseeing block starts on Day 2.

This plan matches the Andaman Family Week six-night structure and keeps ferry legs short. Ferry timings between Sri Vijaya Puram, Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep are weather-dependent, so the final night is kept in Sri Vijaya Puram before the return flight rather than on an outlying island.
Mumbai travellers lose most of Day 1 to the one-stop flight, which is why six nights is the practical sweet spot for a first visit: it absorbs a weather-delayed ferry without dropping an island from the circuit.
Best Time for an Andaman Trip from Mumbai
October to April is the recommended window for an andaman trip from mumbai, with February and March offering the most reliable combination of dry weather, calm seas and operating water activities.

Mumbai travellers planning a holiday packages from mumbai to andaman trip should note that the monsoon window — roughly June to September — affects ferry schedules between Sri Vijaya Puram, Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep, and can suspend water activities at Elephant Beach and Bharatpur Beach entirely.
October and November offer good value for the andaman package from mumbai price bracket: conditions are reliable and crowds are lower than the December–February peak. December brings the highest demand and the highest land costs, so booking well ahead from Mumbai is essential for that window.
Compare
Andaman Trip Lengths from Mumbai Compared
Five nights covers Sri Vijaya Puram and Swaraj Dweep; six nights adds Shaheed Dweep; seven or more allows diving, slower ferry days and a calmer pace. Mumbai travellers lose most of Day 1 to the one-stop flight, so shorter trips feel noticeably tighter than the same duration from Chennai or Kolkata.
4 nights / 5 days
Best forShort breaks and travellers who want only Sri Vijaya Puram and Swaraj Dweep
StrengthsLower land cost and fewer ferry legs; fits a tight leave window from Mumbai
Trade-offsDay 1 is largely travel; Shaheed Dweep and diving are usually dropped
5 nights / 6 days
Best forFirst-time visitors who want the three main islands on a single trip

Trade-offsHigher land cost than a five-night plan
8 nights / 9 days or more
Best forDivers, honeymooners and slow travellers who want flexibility around ferry cancellations
StrengthsAllows multiple dives, longer beach time and flexibility if a ferry is cancelled
Trade-offsNeeds a longer leave window and a larger overall budget
The comparison above assumes the same one-stop Mumbai routing and land-only arrangements. Airfare is quoted separately and moves with season and booking window, so the total cost difference between trip lengths is primarily in accommodation and activity nights rather than flights.
For a first andaman trip from mumbai, six nights is the practical sweet spot: it absorbs a weather-delayed ferry without dropping an island, and it aligns with the Andaman Family Week package structure.
Travel tips
Travelling to Andaman from Mumbai — What to Know
Mumbai travellers should book the earliest feasible connection out of BOM, keep a long buffer at the mainland hub, and carry government photo ID throughout the trip. Securing ferry tickets before departure and keeping the final night in Sri Vijaya Puram matter more than squeezing in one extra island.
Take the first BOM departure
An early Mumbai departure leaves room to absorb a delay on the connecting sector into IXZ. Late departures risk an overnight at the hub and a lost day of the itinerary.
Flights
Buffer the connection at Chennai, Bengaluru or Kolkata
The final IXZ sector is schedule-sensitive. A long buffer is safer than a tight same-day connection, even if it means a longer wait at the hub airport.
Flights
Carry government photo ID
Indian citizens need valid domestic travel identification for the BOM flight, the IXZ arrival, ferry boarding and hotel check-ins. No passport or visa is required for the standard circuit.
Documents
Book ferries before you fly from Mumbai
Sri Vijaya Puram to Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep services fill up in peak season (December to February). One-way fares run about INR 500–2,500 by vessel and class.
Transport
Keep the last night in Sri Vijaya Puram
Inter-island ferries are weather-dependent. Sleeping in Sri Vijaya Puram the night before the return flight protects the Mumbai connection and avoids a missed departure.
Planning
Plan around October to April
February and March are typically the driest and most reliable months. The monsoon window affects ferry schedules and suspends water activities at Elephant Beach and Bharatpur Beach.
Season
Budget for local transport separately
Scooter rental on South Andaman runs roughly INR 500–800 per day and short auto-rickshaw rides about INR 100–300. Airport taxis and app-based cabs serve Sri Vijaya Puram.
Budget
Check current rules before departure
Ferry, protected-area and entry rules can change between booking and travel. Foreign nationals in the group must follow current visa and Restricted Area Permit requirements independently of Indian co-travellers.
Documents
Connectivity on the islands
Mobile data coverage is available in Sri Vijaya Puram and the main tourist areas of Swaraj Dweep, but signal can be patchy on ferry crossings and at remote beaches. Download offline maps before leaving Sri Vijaya Puram.
Connectivity
Carry cash for smaller islands
ATMs are available in Sri Vijaya Puram and on Swaraj Dweep, but card acceptance at smaller restaurants and activity operators on Shaheed Dweep can be limited. Carry sufficient cash before each ferry crossing.
Budget
These tips are specific to the Mumbai departure pattern rather than generic island advice. The one-stop routing means a missed connection at Chennai, Bengaluru or Kolkata can cost a full day of the itinerary — a risk that travellers departing from Chennai or Kolkata do not face to the same degree.
Indian citizens need no visa or Restricted Area Permit for the standard circuit, but foreign nationals travelling in the same group must follow current visa and RAP rules independently. Tribal reserves, the Nicobar group and other restricted areas are not open for independent tourism regardless of nationality.

01
Food availability can be limited on quieter islands: a traveller reported particularly limited nearby dining choices around Pearl Park on Neil. Fixed ferry schedules and weather-related disruption are another practical difficulty, while island-hopping requires planning rather than relying on spontaneous transport.
02
Travellers commonly wish they had allowed more time for ferry travel and island transfers, and had understood that weather can disrupt fixed ferry schedules. Several reports also suggest planning water activities and ferries ahead during the October–March busy period.
03
The June–September monsoon is the season travellers most often caution against for a beach-and-water-sports trip because rain and rough seas can affect ferries and outdoor activities. October to February is generally preferred, although it is busier and more expensive.
04
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) is the strongest first-visit base for travellers wanting beaches and water activities, especially Radhanagar Beach, snorkelling and scuba diving. Neil (Shaheed Dweep) is better added for at least two nights if a quieter pace is preferred; Port Blair works mainly as the gateway and history base.
Questions, answered
Before you go
Straight answers on planning Andaman from Mumbai, from connections to what a quote covers.
8 answered below
Still unsure?
Ask a specialist anything about Andaman from Mumbai — there’s no obligation.
Fly from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) to Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) at Sri Vijaya Puram with one stop, usually via Chennai, Bengaluru or Kolkata. Total flying is about five hours. There is no direct BOM–IXZ service; IndiGo and Air India are commonly used on this routing.
02How much does an Andaman package from Mumbai cost?
Indicative land-only, twin-sharing packages run about INR 28,000 budget, INR 45,000 standard, INR 70,000 premium and INR 1,25,000 luxury per person, before airfare. Mumbai airfare is quoted separately because it moves with season and booking window. These are indicative figures for 2026 planning.
03How many days are enough for an Andaman trip from Mumbai?
Five to seven days suits the standard circuit of Sri Vijaya Puram, Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep. Mumbai travellers lose most of Day 1 to the one-stop flight, so six nights is the practical sweet spot for a first visit — it covers all three islands and absorbs a weather-delayed ferry.
04What is the best time to visit Andaman?
October to April is generally best, with February and March offering especially dry and reliable conditions. November to April gives the most dependable combination of clear skies, calm seas and operating water activities. The monsoon window from June to September affects ferry schedules and can suspend water sports entirely.
05Do Indians need a passport or visa for Andaman?
No. Indian citizens need valid domestic travel identification but no passport, visa, Restricted Area Permit or Inner Line Permit for the standard tourist circuit of South Andaman, Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep. Carry government photo ID for the flight, ferry boarding and hotel check-ins throughout the trip.
06Which islands should first-time visitors include in Andaman?
Most first-time itineraries include Sri Vijaya Puram in South Andaman, Swaraj Dweep (Havelock) and Shaheed Dweep (Neil). Sri Vijaya Puram covers Cellular Jail and Corbyn's Cove, Swaraj Dweep has Radhanagar and Elephant Beach, and Shaheed Dweep offers Bharatpur and Laxmanpur beaches.
07Are ferries from Port Blair to Havelock available every day?
Services commonly operate daily in the main season, but schedules, capacity and cancellations depend on weather and operators. One-way fares run about INR 500–2,500 depending on vessel and class. Book ahead in peak season and keep a buffer night in Sri Vijaya Puram before any return flight from Mumbai.
08Is Andaman more expensive than Goa for a Mumbai traveller?
Transport and island logistics typically cost more than a comparable Goa trip. Ferry fares, inter-island transfers and the one-stop Mumbai flight add to the overall cost. Indicative land-only packages start near INR 28,000 per person on twin sharing, with accommodation and food overlapping with comparable Goa categories.
