Ross and Smith Islands

Connected by a thin strip of crescent-shaped sand bar visible only during a low tide, the twin islands of Ross and Smith are well known for their peaceful environment and spectacular views.

Sea Walking in Andaman

An absolute joy for adventure lovers who wish to avoid diving and swimming constantly, sea walking is an excellent way to experience marine life in peace. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands offer multiple opportunities to go down to the sea bed, walk around and discover the unique geographical elements, coral reefs, fish and other aquatic life. Instructors prepare people with a short tutorial and accompany them throughout the sea walk’s duration. Havelock Island, Ross Island and North Bay are ideal for sea walking. North Bay’s magnanimous fish, corals which are segregated into smaller dense concentrations and lobsters, make for a magnificent sea walking experience. Havelock Island, especially Elephant Beach, is perfect for sea walking owing to the underwater volcanic formations, colourful corals and diverse fish. People can go sea walking in groups and have their pictures and videos taken amidst all the aquatic life. A unique experience that is part of sea walking is feeding the fish with bait provided by the vendors around. Read More
