Enjoy a Family Beach Vacation on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Enjoy a Family Beach Vacation on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Summer is around the corner and children are excitedly scampering about figuring out new ways to beat up their parent’s brains. But, you can stay aloof from all the tension because you have a terrific choice of a vacation for the whole family - the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Exotic Vacation Destination with Tour Packages

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands is an archipelago of 572 islands of which only 38 have people living on it. A trip out to the uninhabited islands in an exciting prospect for the adventurous people. But, if you go with your family, you can have fun visiting the populated ones with the arranged tour packages. The tour operators take care of everything, from food to the action, on your family vacation. The tours are well-organized and you will not realize how fast the time passes. If you are on your own, then here is the list of things to do, places to see, and activities you must not miss. The other option is to make your own trip. For doing this, you must have a knowledge of the locality. When you do not use any tour travel agent package, you have enough freedom to do as you want. But, you might end up wasting your vacation time so you have to watch for that.

Places you must visit

Family entertainment is all about getting thrilled or excited. It is about jumping into the water with your sister and brother or going snorkeling with your dad. It is also about having exotic cuisine and ice creams on the beach. But, is that all? No, there is something else. You can visit the places that you find only here at the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Come and take a look and make your list fast, vacations are approaching.

Samudrika Marine Museum

Maintained by the Indian Navy, the Samudrika Marine Museum offers a glimpse into the types of seas and the sea life. Check this before you visit the beach and the other places. You learn about the history of Andaman and the Jarawa tribes. You can see some exciting aquatic life such as the Stonefish and seashell collections.

Cellular Jail

A historical place where the British kept the political prisoners, the Cellular Jail was the home to many freedom fighters. You have a Light and Sound show in the evening. They imprisoned freedom fighters like Upendra Nath, Veer Savarkar, and Batukeshwar Dutt here.

Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park

If you wish to spend some time in the evening in quiet relaxation, go to the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park. It has nice greenery for a peaceful walk and there is play equipment for the children. The Park gives protection to nesting sea turtles, corals, and other endangered marine life prevalent in the area.

Makruzz

If you enjoy trips on a high-speed cruise boat, you will love Makruzz! Choose your seat - there are three classes and the lowest is always crowded - and enjoy the ride. You can buy hot snacks and beverages during the trip. It is a nice way to spend some time until the next item in your tour agenda comes up.

Mix in a Few Free Activities

You find that at most of the tourist spots, one has to pay to visit or for taking part in some activity like a boat ride. When you are on a vacation, spending money needlessly is the last thing you want to do. Fortunately, there are myriad free things to do while you are on your Andaman vacation. Check these out and add them to your “To Do” list.

Trek from Mt. Harriet

This one is for the trekking enthusiasts. The trek stretches from Mt. Harriet to Madhuban passing through Kala Patthar on the way. The route is through the jungle and you get to see exciting birds, animals, and plants.

Swim in Kala Patthar Lagoon

An exciting afternoon swim is welcome after the trek. The water is clear and warm. You can spend hours relaxing in the water letting your senses drift with the slow-moving currents of the lagoon.

Have a spot of sunbathing

The white and golden beaches with their turquoise waters form an enchanting enclave filled with the warmth of the sun’s rays. Ideal for sunbathers, the tourists just stick an umbrella in the sand and soak up the sun.

Vacation Pleasure Trip to Jolly Buoy Island

Set aside one day for this outing for your family to Jolly Buoy Island. Crystal clear waters with colorful underwater corals ring the island. Yes, it is the perfect spot for some snorkeling and scuba diving. The approach to Jolly Buoy Island is from Wandoor beach in Mahatma Gandhi National Park. The Park also has another island called Red Skin. You leave Wandoor Beach early in the morning to Jolly Buoy. This is a Green zone and they do not allow any plastic items here. Before leaving for Jolly Buoy, you must leave all your plastic items behind. You do not have anything on Wandoor beach and so the visitors have to carry food, water, and snacks with them. If you do not wish to take part in snorkeling or scuba diving, you can use the glass bottomed boat to take a trip. You get to see the coral in the sea surrounding the island. The fare is nominal costing 50-100 INR for a boat ride lasting 30 minutes. The island does not have any shelter to use for changing clothes or to hide from the rain. So, it is best to avoid travel to this place during the rainy season. Also, children and ladies will find it difficult to change their dress and you must make arrangements for this. You can use bedsheets or newspapers for sitting. Also, Jolly Buoy Island is not open to visitors throughout the year. The only way to and fro from these islands is by chartered boat. You have to check to see if the island is open before you leave for the place. But, when you see Jolly Buoy closed, Red Skin Island will remain open. And, you have some great value for money hotels on the Andaman Island if you want to strike it out on your own. Be sure to use a tour guide because they will tell you things that only the locals know about the place.
