Day 1 - Arrive at Port Blair (14th Sept 2024) Get along, make new friends to create memories on Tour.

 

The color palette of a few hundred shades of blue and green will cause you to wax lyrical, the second you set foot into Andaman's tropical terrains. On this intoxicating odyssey from the capital city of Port Blair, you'll find yourself riding past beaches and islands bereft of any touristy frills. We recommend you a window seat as it is a visual treat to the eyes. The touchdown minutes are an adrenaline rush without a doubt and the eyes look for new friends to make and the mind thinking of the unknown. Well, we make sure you feel comfortable and join us in celebrating the adventure.

 

On your arrival, we pick you up from the Airport or you can just choose to walk to the hotel room at Diviyum Manor which is just about 200 Meters away from the Airport. You get to meet the team and strangers who turn out to be your friends over the days you spend on the tour. Get accustomed to the weather – be surprised, the sunrise here is at 05:00 AM and sunset at 05:00 PM, not something you get to experience on the mainland. It might be raining and when it stops, it wouldn't leave traces. Every time we narrate the weather conditions of Andaman over the years we just remember our friend narrating it as HOT- WET - & it's just HOT & WET.
