So you’re planning your Andaman honeymoon and trying to figure out what it’ll actually cost? Let me help you with real numbers – no marketing tricks, just straight talk from someone who sends couples to these islands every single week.
I’ve been running my Andaman travel business for one year now. The question I hear most? “How much should we actually budget?”
Here’s what happens – couples see an ad for ₹45,000 and think they’re sorted. Then reality hits when they start adding flights, decent hotels, scuba diving, nice dinners. Suddenly they’re looking at ₹1,30,000 and wondering what happened.
Nobody’s cheating you. It’s just that those base package prices never tell the full story.
Let me walk you through what things really cost in 2026, based on what my couples are spending right now.
What You’ll Really Spend
I keep track of what couples actually end up paying. Here’s the honest range for 2026:
Tight Budget Trip: ₹50,000 – ₹70,000 for both of you You’ll manage 4-5 nights, stay in okay places, skip some experiences. It’s doable but you’ll compromise.
Comfortable Mid-Range: ₹85,000 – ₹1,45,000 for the two of you
This is where most couples land. Good resorts, proper activities, nice meals. About 5-6 nights total.
Proper Luxury: ₹1,85,000 – ₹3,50,000 for both Premium resorts, all the experiences, zero compromises. Usually 6-7 nights.
Top-End Splurge: ₹4,00,000 and up Private villas with pools, helicopter rides, the works. Some couples want this, most don’t need it.
Let me break down where each rupee goes.
Getting There – Flight Costs
You’ve got to reach Port Blair first. Here’s what flights are running in 2026:
Delhi to Port Blair: ₹9,000 – ₹20,000 per person
Mumbai to Port Blair: ₹8,000 – ₹17,000 per person Bangalore to Port Blair: ₹7,000 – ₹14,000 per person Kolkata to Port Blair: ₹6,000 – ₹12,000 per person Chennai to Port Blair: ₹6,500 – ₹13,000 per person
Those are return fares. Plan on ₹13,000-16,000 per head on average.
Book two to three months ahead and you’ll save serious money. Last month I had a couple who waited till last minute – paid ₹38,000 for two tickets that would’ve cost them ₹22,000 if they’d booked earlier.
IndiGo, Air India, and sometimes Vistara have the most reliable schedules.
For the two of you together: Keep ₹26,000 – ₹32,000 aside for flights.
Where You’ll Sleep – Hotel Costs
This is your biggest expense and honestly, where your whole trip experience gets decided.
Port Blair Stays (Usually 1-2 nights)
Basic Range (₹1,800 – ₹3,000 per night): Simple hotels near Aberdeen Bazaar. Clean enough, that’s about it.
Middle Range (₹3,500 – ₹6,000 per night): Places like Fortune Resort, SeaShell Port Blair, Sinclairs. Comfortable, some have sea-facing rooms.
Nicer Properties (₹7,000 – ₹14,000 per night): Welcomhotel Bay Island has a pool, decent spa. Feels more honeymoon-appropriate.
Havelock – Where Your Money Should Go
This island is the reason you’re coming. Whatever you do, don’t go cheap here.
Budget Options (₹3,000 – ₹5,000 per night): You’ll find basic beach huts. They’re far from the good beaches and honestly, you’ll regret saving money here.
Sweet Spot (₹6,000 – ₹12,000 per night): Symphony Palms, Coral Reef, SeaShell Havelock. Close to Radhanagar Beach, good rooms, exactly what works for most couples.
Premium Range (₹14,000 – ₹24,000 per night): Taj Exotica, Barefoot at Havelock. Right on the beach, beautiful properties, service is excellent.
High-End (₹28,000 – ₹55,000 per night): Private villas with plunge pools, personal service. We book these too, but most honeymooners don’t need this level.
Neil Island (One night usually)
Budget (₹2,000 – ₹3,500 per night): Pearl Park, basic resorts. They’ll do fine.
Mid-Range (₹4,000 – ₹7,000 per night): Summer Sands Beach Resort. Better food, nicer rooms.
What Five Nights Will Cost You:
- Budget route: ₹14,000 – ₹20,000
- Mid-range comfort: ₹28,000 – ₹45,000
- Premium experience: ₹65,000 – ₹1,30,000
Everything in our Andaman honeymoon packages includes stays. We only work with properties I’ve personally checked out and would send my own family to.
Moving Between Islands – Ferry Costs
People always underestimate ferries. Don’t make that mistake.
Government Ferries
What they cost:
- Port Blair to Havelock: ₹600-1,200 per person
- Havelock to Neil: ₹600-900 per person
- Neil back to Port Blair: ₹600-1,000 per person
- Both of you: ₹3,600 – ₹6,200 total
Sounds cheap, right? Here’s the catch – bookings open exactly three weeks before travel, at 9 AM sharp. Within ten minutes, they’re sold out. I’m not exaggerating. We have staff who do nothing but book these for clients.
Also, they’re not super comfortable. Think hard benches, crowded, basic facilities.
Private Ferries – What I Recommend
Actual costs:
- Port Blair to Havelock: ₹1,800-3,000 per person
- Havelock to Neil: ₹1,400-2,000 per person
- Neil to Port Blair: ₹1,800-2,500 per person
- Both of you: ₹10,000 – ₹15,000 total
We use Green Ocean, Makruzz, and Nautika. They’re reliable, comfortable, have AC cabins. For honeymoon, spend the extra. You’ll thank me when you’re sitting comfortably instead of squeezed on a government ferry.
All our packages include private ferries. We book them the moment you confirm.
Getting Around on Each Island
Port Blair: ₹2,500 – ₹4,000 for airport pickups, drops, local sightseeing Havelock: ₹3,000 – ₹5,000 for beach hopping, activity transfers
Neil Island: ₹1,800 – ₹2,500 (it’s tiny, less running around)
Our packages include all necessary transfers. You’re not standing at jetties negotiating with taxi drivers.
Total transport: Plan ₹14,000 – ₹25,000
Activities – The Fun Stuff
This is what makes honeymoons memorable. Here’s what things cost in 2026:
Water Activities
Scuba Diving at Havelock:
- First dive: ₹4,000 – ₹5,500 per person
- Two dives: ₹7,500 – ₹9,500 per person
- For both: ₹8,000 – ₹19,000
Even if you’ve never done it, try it. We work with dive centers that prioritize safety – they’ll take good care of you.
Snorkeling:
- Elephant Beach: ₹1,200 – ₹1,800 per person
- North Bay: ₹600 – ₹1,200 per person
- Together: ₹2,400 – ₹6,000
Almost as amazing as diving, costs way less.
Sea Walking:
- ₹4,000 – ₹5,000 per person
- Both: ₹8,000 – ₹10,000
Walk underwater with a helmet. Good if diving feels too scary.
Jet Skiing:
- ₹600 – ₹1,200 for 10-15 minutes Fun but not essential.
Parasailing:
- ₹4,000 – ₹5,000 per person Thrilling, definitely worth trying once.
Mangrove Kayaking:
- ₹1,800 – ₹3,000 per person Peaceful, beautiful. Very different from beach activities.
Romantic Stuff
Beach Candlelight Dinner:
- Basic setup: ₹5,000 – ₹7,500

We arrange these through resorts. Some do it beautifully, some are tacky. We only work with the good ones.

- Shared boat: ₹2,500 – ₹4,000 for you both
- Private booking: ₹15,000 – ₹28,000
Couples Spa Session:
- ₹4,000 – ₹10,000 for 60-90 minutes Available at better resorts.
Professional Photography:

Cellular Jail Light Show: ₹100 for both
Ross Island: ₹60 for both North Bay: ₹600-1,000 per person Baratang Caves day trip: ₹3,000-4,000 for both

When You Travel Changes Your Budget
Prices swing quite a bit through the year. Here’s 2026 reality:
December-January Peak Madness:
Hotels jack up prices 50-70%. Flights cost more. Beaches are crowded. Mid-range trip: ₹1,30,000 – ₹1,95,000
October-November & February-March Sweet Spot: Hotels drop rates by 25-35% from peak. Flights are reasonable. Weather’s perfect. Same trip: ₹95,000 – ₹1,45,000
This is when I tell everyone to go. Our best time guide explains why these months work best.
April-May Hot Season: Hotels offer discounts. Fewer tourists around. It’s hot but bearable. Same trip: ₹80,000 – ₹1,25,000
June-September Monsoon:
Cheapest you’ll find (40-60% off). But ferries get cancelled, activities shut down, some resorts close. Not worth saving money if you can’t do anything.
How to Stretch Your Budget
After sending hundreds of couples, here’s what actually works:
Spend Money On These: ✅ Good Havelock resort – makes or breaks the trip ✅ Scuba diving – you’re in Andaman, this is why you came
✅ Private ferries – comfort matters when you’re honeymooning ✅ Extra Havelock night instead of rushing everywhere
Save Money On These: ❌ Fancy Port Blair hotels – you’ll just sleep there ❌ Expensive candlelight setups – walking on beach at sunset is free
❌ Every single water sport – pick your favourites ❌ Pearl shopping – mostly fake or overpriced
Smart Booking Moves: Book flights early – saves ₹12,000-18,000 easily Travel October-November or Feb-March – way better value Let us book your package – we get rates you won’t find online
What Our Packages Actually Include
