Andaman Tour package cost what to expect?

The cost of your Andaman tour package for two people could range from anywhere between Rs 10000 per person to Rs 50000 per person. You might be wondering why this huge variation in cost!

The cost of your Andaman package is calculated based on the place you visit, the hotel you choose, and the number of persons traveling. We would discuss this in-depth in the next section, but here I would like to give you an example:

If you are a family of 5 people visiting for a 5-day trip, your per-person cost would be less than a couple on the same tour package. This is because the family will be sharing a vehicle where the cost is split between 5 people.

This was one of the many reasons which could affect your Andaman tour package cost.

We at Asap Holidays have served thousands of customers over that last Ten years and understand what each type of traveler could be interested in. We will help you customize your trip in such a way that you don't waste your money and get the best value.

As we have mentioned earlier, the Andaman tour packages cost is dependent on a variety of factors, and you will need to understand them to choose the Andaman tour package that is best suited for your needs.

Let us discuss how to calculate your Andaman trip cost in detail:

Airfares

Airfares make a significant portion of your Andaman trip cost. Most of the travel agents offer only land packages and do not provide air ticketing services.

We at Asap Holidays have an air ticketing desk only for customers who book group packages. Though we provide flight ticketing services at request but encourage our customers to book online by themselves.

If you are planning to visit Andaman during Peak season the fares from major cities in India could range from Rs 7000 to Rs 15000 per person.We suggest you book your air tickets early to get reasonable rates.

If you plan to travel during the off-peak season, the flight rates are constant at about Rs 5000 per person.

So Book you air tickets at least two months in advance if traveling in peak season.

Hotel selection for your Andaman trip

Hotels and resort stay costs make up about 30-50% of your total package cost. If you plan your hotel choices at port Blair, havelock, and Niel island wisely, you will end up saving a lot on your package cost.

You should decide your hotel depending on what type of traveler you are

  • For couples, we always suggest booking a premium beach resort in havelock, and you can go with a standard 3-star hotel in port Blair as port Blair has more sightseeing places, and you will hardly be in your hotel room.
  • For families and groups, we suggest hotels which allow extra beds or have family rooms .this will help you reduce the price of your package a lot.
  • For solo travelers or bachelors in a group, we suggest to take standard clean hotels in both port Blair and havelock and spend more time and money exploring stuff and on adventure activities.

How many days you are spending in Andaman

The number of days you decide to spend in Andaman is the most significant factor in determining your trip cost. A quick three-day trip would cost much less than a six-day trip covering all attractions.

For people on a budget, we suggest taking a 4-day tour plan with two days in port Blair 1 day at havelock and same-day return from Niel. We can make the itinerary a bit more hectic, and you can quickly visit most of the famous attractions while keeping your entire night stays to a minimum.

This approach of a packed itinerary is only for those who are on a budget but still want to visit all the places in Andaman.

We have seen from experience that most people enjoy an Andaman tour package, which has a relaxed itinerary, and they get enough time to enjoy each location thoroughly.

What activities you plan

There are a lot of activities that are available in the Andaman Islands for visiting tourists. And generally, tour operators try to include them all in your Andaman tour package because they get good commissions from the activity providers.

While most of the activities are fun and adventurous, they are not for everyone

In our experience, we have seen that people book many activities and don't end up doing all of them and waste a lot of money. Money which could have been used to do stuff they would enjoy. For example, Many people book scuba diving for the whole group beforehand, but only a few members finally end up doing it.

We suggest that you do not include any watersport activity in your Andaman tour package and book it through your travel agent once you are at the locations. The exception is people who are sure about the activity they want to do and can book in advance.

Which of the locations you prefer

Andaman has about 20 attractions which are popular among tourists and many more remote beaches and spots where locals visit frequently.

You cannot cover them all, no matter which Andaman tour package you choose. So we have made a list of the popular destination and tips on how to choose the attraction you want to visit while keeping your Andaman tour package cost within your budget:

Andaman tour attractions and cost details


City tour of Port Blair:

Most tour operators include a city tour on the first day the guests arrive. You typically visit the small parks, zoos, and museums in port Blair city. On average, you get charged Rs 1500 for one five-seater vehicle.

While the city tour is recommended for families with children, couples and bachelors usually don't enjoy it very much. We can suggest that if you are a couple or a group of bachelors, you can skip the city tour and spend more time at Corbyn's cove beach near port Blair or visit marina park for some watersport activities like jet ski.

Cellular jail

Cellular jail is a national monument and gives you a glimpse into the Andaman's history and significance in the Indian independence struggle.

The cellular jail is a gigantic structure with a museum attached. "light and sound show " at cellular jail showcases the history of the prison and the Andaman islands in a theatrical way.

Most of our guests have given us positive reviews after visiting cellular jail. We suggest you add cellular jail to your itinerary as the entry ticket is only Rs 200, and the jail is located within the city.

Ross island

Ross Island is a tiny uninhabited island just off the coast of Port Blair city. The ross island was the old administrative capital of the British in their early days in the Andaman Islands during the 18th century.

Now the island is controlled by the Indian navy and is open for tourist. The island is famous for its old British ruins from the 18th century, which are mostly intact. The people visiting there feel like they have traveled back in time to a ghost town.

The cost of a ticket to ross island is about Rs 500, depending on the season. The last boat from ross island to Port Blair leaves at 5 pm.

Ross Island can be a fun trip for all kind of travelers, and for couples and groups who are not into archeology and history, there is a lovely beach at the rear side of ross island where you can spend quality time.

Havelock Island

Havelock island is the most popular destination for tourists travelling to the Andaman islands and for a good reason.
