We added a couple of optional activities beyond Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep) and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Andaman Islands is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park boat & snorkeling trip. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Samudrika Naval Marine Museum grounds alone was worth the trip, but combined with Ross Island (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep) this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Our trip to Andaman Islands was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Chidiya Tapu ("Bird Island") was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
