Indian citizens do not need a visa or special permit to visit Port Blair, Havelock, or Neil Island. A valid government ID (Aadhar, Voter ID, Passport) is all that is required.
Can we go straight to Havelock on the day we land?
No. Since you are connecting from Pune, your flight will land after the afternoon ferries have departed. You must spend the first night in Port Blair and take the morning ferry to Havelock the next day.
What are your payment terms?
We usually require a 50% advance to confirm your hotels and ferries, with the balance payable upon your arrival in Port Blair. We accept bank transfers, UPI, and major cards.
