You do not need to book the same island circuit as everyone else staying in Port Blair. Our Ross Island and North Bay tickets give you three choices: a shorter heritage outing, a North Bay visit, or both islands in one round trip.
The right choice depends on how much time you want to spend out and whether your priority is island walking, optional water activities or a mix of experiences.
Ross Island Round Trip: a shorter heritage outing
The Ross Island Round Trip is listed from ₹520 per person, with an approximate duration of two hours. It suits travellers interested in ruins, shaded paths and coastal viewpoints.
Current departure options are 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00 and 11:30 AM, followed by 1:15 and 1:45 PM. The afternoon options offer another way to fit the visit into a Port Blair day, subject to availability.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and allow extra time for reaching the boarding point. Island entry fees are separate where not included. Hotel pickup support is listed on request where selected; confirm it rather than assuming it comes with every ticket.
North Bay Round Trip: keep the focus on one island
Choose North Bay Round Trip if you want to concentrate on North Bay. The listed starting fare is ₹720 per person, and the outing is planned for approximately four hours.
Departures are listed every half hour from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Passengers self-report at Aberdeen Jetty, Port Blair. Hotel transfers, meals, entry charges and optional water activities are excluded from this ticket.
If you want another experience during the visit, check Glass Bottom Boat at North Bay. This is a separate activity for viewing coral and marine life through the boat's viewing section. Coordinate its availability with your North Bay return time.
Ross Island & North Bay Round Trip: combine both stops
The Ross Island & North Bay Round Trip starts from ₹970 per person, with an approximate overall duration of five hours. It works for visitors who want heritage scenery and North Bay in the same outing.
The listed departures are 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30 and 11:00 AM. A 9:00 AM slot currently shows an estimated 2:00 PM finish; an 11:00 AM slot shows an estimated 4:00 PM finish.
Follow the operator's confirmed schedule and island order. The return times are estimates, and stop order may change with daily routing. The shared ticket includes boat travel and ticket coordination; hotel transfers, optional North Bay activities and separately charged entry fees are excluded.
Compare the cost for your group
For four passengers paying the listed per-person fare, the boat-ticket totals are:
- Ross Island: ₹2,080
- North Bay: ₹2,880
- Combined Ross Island & North Bay: ₹3,880
These examples exclude extras and assume all four passengers pay the listed fare. Confirm child pricing and the final payable amount for your booking.
Booking the two separate round trips would total ₹1,240 per person at these listed fares. The combined ticket is ₹970, but the two arrangements have different schedules and time on each island. Compare the experience as well as the price.
Three checks before selecting your slot
First, check the reporting point and leave enough time to reach it. Second, leave a buffer after the estimated return rather than scheduling a tight connection. Third, confirm any extra activity before building your entire visit around it.
