When you combine these four islands in one trip, you get the perfect mix of fun, safety, and adventure for children.
If you are travelling with elders (parents or grandparents), it’s best to keep the trip easy and relaxing. Choose places where there’s no long walking, trekking, or very long cab journeys. Also, pick transport options that are comfortable.
The best areas for elders are in South Andaman – mainly Port Blair, Havelock Island, and Neil Island. These places have beautiful beaches, good sightseeing, and comfortable stays.
If they enjoy history, you can add Ross Island in Port Blair. You’ll find famous historical sites like the Cellular Jail with its Light & Sound Show.
Museums in Port Blair:
Places that can be tiring for elders:
These places are far away (North Andaman side) and need 6+ hours of cab travel. There are no proper bathroom facilities on the way, and no good hotels nearby for overnight stays.
Baratang – Famous for its Limestone Caves, which you reach after a jungle trek of about 1.5 km one way.

Most tourists also visit Baratang to see the Jarwa Tribe, one of the indigenous tribes of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
