Andaman and Nicobar islands are the perfect travel destinations for scuba diving and snorkelling. There are some tourists, though, who don’t want a holiday package with scuba diving. This decision, however, leads one to ask “What could I do on an Andaman tour package if I opt out of this activity?” There are ample alternatives available to ensure that you can pick up the activity that is thoroughly enjoyable.

First off, these choices will vary based on the accommodation. Havelock island is the most brilliant and enthralling choice for scuba diving. Most other diving spots are easily accessible from Port Blair, capital of the island and the most popular travel destination on Andaman Islands. For the non-diver, though, there are several other alternatives in and around these destinations. You must ensure that these alternatives are not already included in your itinerary, though.

While on Havelock Island, Radha Nagar Beach is a very picturesque beach that you can visit. This locale can be found approximately 12 km from Havelock Island. While the perfect choice for scuba diving and snorkelling, the number ...
... of alternative adventures found here are just as amazing. You can, for example, enjoy game fishing. This is an activity where saltwater or freshwater fishes are pursued as a sport. This beach is a great choice for beach games like beach cricket, beach volley as well. For a couple on a romantic holiday, it is a great spot to enjoy the sunset. In fact, newlyweds on an Andaman tour package must visit Radha Nagar beach at sunset. The romantic and intimate ambiance during that time forms the perfect backdrop for warmth and intimacy. The boat rides are also a great way to enjoy this scenic beach.

Port Blair also has several scuba diving sites. These sites include North Bay, Snake Island, Wandoor, Chidiya Tapu, Rutland Island, Cinque Island, etc. But, there are several exciting and fascinating activities in and around Port Blair. Your holiday package can include old British architecture in Ross Island or you can step out for a few fun and enjoyable cooking classes. You can also head out early in the morning for a trek in Madhuban or enjoy bird watching there. While the list is extensive, you should choose the ones which aren’t included in your itinerary. The local attractions for Port Blair are the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, Cellular Jail, Andaman Water Sports Complex, Samudrika Marine Museum, Mount Harriet, Anthropological Museum, etc.

As a travel destination, these islands offer far more of a holistic experience than previously considered. The best of Andaman lies in the blue waves of ocean and sandy beaches. Another worthwhile experience is the light and shadow program in Cellular jail. Other locations like museums offer magnificent insights into the local tribal culture as well. So, explore the beauty of Andaman the best way you can!
