📍 KUL - Port Blair ( Air Asia ✈️) Port Blair - Havelock ( Nautica ⛴) 2 nights 🤿 with Dive India and staying Green Imperial 🏨 Beach No. 5 2 nights 🏖 at Barefoot Havelock 🏨 Rhandnagar beach Havelock - Port Blair ( Makruzz ⛴) 1 night Seashell Resort 🏨 Port Blair Port Blair - KUL flight✈️ 💡 All structures and furniture on Havelock are set back behind the treeline. So no cafes or loungers on the beach. If you want to lay by the water with lunch / drink book resort with a pool and bar. The beach can be rocky down the West side. 🍲🍔 Food at Something Different, Full Moon and Swimming Elephant on barefoot were great. In all cases portions were huge! Something Different had pick up and drop off and most lively vibes of all three. Full Moon had the closest thing to a sea view and the best food ( but mosquitoes at night). Swimming Elephant is high end hotel food but friendly service and great drinks. 💡 The island is early! sunset and rise keep Thai / MY times with an India clock. So diving started earlier at 5.30 and things were very quiet by 8/9pm ⏰ ⚠ Sand flies on Rahadnagar beach were rough and bites stick around. Seems like they mostly affect women but worth taking antihistamine cream and pills in case.
