Exploring Andaman With Kids: What You Need to Know

Organising a private family tour to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is the best way of mixing adventure, relaxation, and bonding. With postcard beaches, green rainforests, and a myriad of fun-filled activities for all, this island nation is a perfect haven for family travellers.

But before you open your holiday trunks, here's what you need to know to ensure your family trip to Andaman and Nicobar Islands with children is trouble-free and safe.

1. Perfect Time to Travel with Children

October to May is the perfect time for a family vacation, when it's nice and the seas are calm for ferry rides. The June to September monsoon season can be cheap, but the rough seas can disrupt plans, especially with kids in tow.

2. Select Family-Friendly Islands

Not all islands are created equal for families. For convenience and child-friendly amenities:

●      Port Blair is ideal for an overnight stay and historic sightseeing (do not miss Cellular Jail Light and Sound Show).

●      Havelock Island features calm beaches such as Radhanagar Beach, which is perfect for children to play freely around.

●      Neil Island is quieter and smaller, perfect for families who want an easygoing pace.

Stay on these networked islands with the Andaman tour packages for family, for quality medical facilities and proper connectivity.

3. Entertainment and Safety for Kids

There aren't enough exciting things to do on your family trip to Andaman and Nicobar Islands, even for kids:

●      Glass-bottom boat excursion in North Bay enables kids to observe rainbow-colored corals without wetting their feet.

●      Snorkelling across shallow waters at Elephant Beach is easy for newbies (some of the tour operators provide life jackets for children).

●      Island-hopping on government ferries or private cruise liners is safe and rewarding with prior planning.

Scuba diving is best avoided for young children, and licensed operators must always be hired for water sports.

4. Tips for Food and Accommodation

All resort and main island restaurants have child-friendly food: fruits, noodles, pancakes, dal, and rice are readily available. Always have dry snacks and bottled water with you, particularly while travelling by ferry.

As far as accommodations go, choose resorts or hotels with family rooms, sea-facing, and near medical facilities, all included in Andaman tour packages for family. Early booking implies that you never have to compromise on comfort when the season is on.
