Mumbai is a busy mainland gateway, not an Andaman office. You fly out of the city; Adventure Andaman takes over after you land at Port Blair — hotels, inter-island ferries, cabs and listed activities, depending on the package.
BOM–Port Blair airfare is normally separate. Mumbai road time to the airport can rival a short flight. Treat that as part of the mainland day, then send us the IXZ arrival so the first island day is built on a real clock.

Mumbai–Port Blair airfare
Usually booked separately, unless a quote explicitly includes it
No road or railway reaches the islands. From Mumbai you fly to Port Blair. There is no passenger ship from Mumbai to Andaman; sailings, when they exist, use selected east-coast ports.
The established departure airport for this routing is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM). You arrive at Port Blair (IXZ). Some dates have been non-stop; others connect. Always check the ticket: airport, terminal and whether the routing is direct.
If your ticket shows a different Mumbai-area airport than the one you planned to use, do not assume they are interchangeable on the morning of travel. Build Sahar / Andheri access time from South Mumbai, Navi Mumbai or Thane separately — that is a mainland logistics problem, not an island one.
There is no Andaman passenger ship from Mumbai. A sea crossing would mean travelling first to a port such as Chennai, Kolkata or Visakhapatnam, then several days aboard. That is not how a typical Mumbai leave is spent.
CSTM, LTT and Bandra Terminus serve the mainland only. There is no train to Andaman. Western and Central Railway can get you into Mumbai; BOM still has to do the rest.
Monsoon in Mumbai and peak season in Andaman are different calendars. Island ferries care about the Andaman sea state; your BOM departure cares about the mainland slot.
Send BOM timings with the enquiry.
Mumbai travellers often land tired even when the airborne sector looks short on a map, because the day started in traffic. If you reach IXZ after mid-afternoon, we keep Port Blair that night.
Same-day Havelock after a BOM connection is the most common request we decline. Ferries have reporting times; they will not wait for a delayed mainland inbound.
Canonical itineraries, not Mumbai clones. Cards open the same URLs as tour packages. Compare origins on the cities hub.
A short Andaman tour package covering Cellular Jail, Corbyn's Cove Beach, Radhanagar Beach and Elephant Beach, with two nights in Port Blair, one night in Havelock and ferry transfers.
Cover three islands in four nights: Cellular Jail and Corbyn's Cove in Port Blair, Radhanagar and Elephant beaches in Havelock, and Neil Island's Natural Bridge, Laxmanpur and Bharatpur beaches.
Visit Cellular Jail, Radhanagar, Elephant and Kalapathar beaches and Neil Island's Natural Bridge and Laxmanpur, with two nights each in Port Blair and Havelock plus one on Neil.
Six nights across Port Blair, Havelock and Neil with Radhanagar, Elephant and Kalapathar beaches, Natural Bridge and Laxmanpur, finishing with a Baratang Island day trip.
Keep day one gentle: airport, hotel, early night. Diwali and Christmas flights from BOM need earlier booking than a random weekday in February. Family packages.
Three nights in Port Blair and one in Havelock, combining Cellular Jail and Corbyn's Cove with Radhanagar and Elephant beaches, plus a day trip to Ross Island and North Bay.
Four Port Blair nights with Ross Island, North Bay and a Baratang day trip for mangrove creek, limestone cave and mud volcano, plus single nights in Havelock and Neil.
Long-weekend maths from Mumbai rarely survives the airport. Book four or five island nights. Honeymoon packages.
A four-day Andaman honeymoon package for couples with two nights in Port Blair and one in Havelock, covering Cellular Jail, Corbyn's Cove, Radhanagar Beach, Elephant Beach and ferry transfers.
A five-day Andaman honeymoon package across Port Blair, Havelock and Neil, taking in Radhanagar and Elephant beaches, Natural Bridge, Laxmanpur and Bharatpur, with inter-island ferry transfers.
An Andaman couple package with two nights each in Port Blair and Havelock and one on Neil, covering Radhanagar, Elephant and Kalapathar beaches, Natural Bridge and Laxmanpur.
No fixed Mumbai group departure. Align BOM arrivals. Group packages.
A group-friendly Andaman itinerary across Port Blair, Havelock and Neil with Cellular Jail, the Sound & Light Show, Radhanagar, Elephant and Kalapathar beaches, Natural Bridge and ferry transfers.
Planned for groups: three Port Blair nights, two on Havelock and one on Neil, covering Cellular Jail, Radhanagar, Elephant and Kalapathar beaches, Natural Bridge, Ross Island and North Bay.
BOM–IXZ air plus land package. Card starting prices are island services only — hotels, ferries, cabs, listed tickets. Peak-week Mumbai air and peak-week Havelock rooms can spike in the same fortnight; budget both.
Count island nights after you have subtracted the Mumbai airport day. A Saturday–Tuesday dash is often only two useful beach days.
A look, not a holiday, once BOM transfer is included.
Workable for two islands with a daytime arrival.
The default Mumbai first trip: three islands, one easy day.
Worth it if you already accepted a full flying day each way.
Port Blair-start land services, depending on package. Mumbai airfare is extra unless quoted.
Mumbai can sell tickets. It cannot re-cut a Havelock inventory when your BOM inbound is three hours late. We work in the islands. No Mumbai office. About us.
