Build a day around a city landmark, a coastal pause or an offshore excursion. Port Blair is also known as Sri Vijaya Puram.

Start with Cellular Jail

Visit the memorial and museum to understand the islands’ connection to India’s freedom struggle. If you want to attend the light-and-sound show, check current tickets and show arrangements through the official visitor information (opens in a new tab).

Spend time by the coast

Corbyn’s Cove (opens in a new tab) offers a palm-lined beach outside the city centre. For a separate coastal outing, Chidiya Tapu (opens in a new tab) is known for sunset views and birdwatching. Plan the return journey before setting out.

Choose an island excursion

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island (opens in a new tab), formerly Ross Island, has colonial ruins and wooded paths. North Bay (opens in a new tab) is an option for reef viewing and water activities. Confirm boat departures, sea conditions and activity availability with the operator.

Keep your arrival day flexible

After check-in, choose one city stop instead of trying to fit in a full island circuit. Use the places near Ambika guide for city sights and the restaurant guide for a meal nearby or along your route.

For a longer visit, browse attractions by island and find the hotel before planning your connections.
