About this Activity
Barren Island Volcano Trip is a 100% recommendation from Go2Andaman. It is probably one of the most unique experiences Andamans has to offer. You will hop onto a boat which will take you five hours south of Havelock where you will see this majestic beauty and jump into the pristine waters to snorkel. The corals are some of the most untouched ones in the islands.
Though there are other extinct volcanoes like Narcondam, Barren Island Volcano is the only active volcano in Southeast Asia. Barren Island Volcano erupted last in How cool (or hot!) would it be to actually see smoke coming out of a volcano. If you’re looking for truly offbeat things to do in Port Blair, planning a charter to Barren Island is as wild and unforgettable as it gets.
