Port Blair, Havelock and Neil Island are beautiful, strikingly different island-towns separated by water and not connected by roads. This makes ferry services the only way to traverse amongst these. This distance can be covered by the private ferry or the government ferry. However, we as locals recommend private ferry services for tourists and travelers because of the ease and convenience. Government ferries are hard on availability as they’re mostly booked months in advance.
We suggest that you complete the Port Blair- Havelock- Neil Island- Port Blair circuit to make the best out of your trip! Andaman Ferry services are fast, comfortable and economical. No matter which private ferry service provider, Go2Andaman is THE platform you need for all your ferry tie-ups.
Private ferries run on time, are clean and well organized with ferry staff to assist you at all points. Most importantly, getting booking availability with private ferries is a lot easier than getting bookings for government ferries. They cost a little more but considering aforementioned points, they are worth the price. On our booking page, you can compare fares & timings for all ferries and book tickets for any of the ferries. We’re a one- stop shop for all your ferry needs.

As mentioned earlier, we as localities feel that for a more relaxed and hassle-free holiday experience, it’s advisable to opt for private ferries which primarily work for the travellers.The government ones are designed mainly for local transportation and may not be the ideal choice for tourists. Go2Andaman does not facilitate bookings for government ferry tickets. If you plan to use them, tickets can be purchased at the offline counters or at their office. Keep in mind that ticket queues tend to form early in the morning, and if you find yourself at the back of the line, there’s a chance that seats may be occupied by the time your turn arrives. Moreover, having only limited seats, the tickets on government ferries are booked months in advance, sometimes the waiting is 4-6 months.
We at GO2Andaman have simplified the ferry booking process to just three steps!
