Government ferry services are cheap, definitely 100%. However, we don’t highly recommend a government ferry unless you’re a backpacker on a budget looking for a lower price, as ferry bookings on government ferries can be quite a challenge and securing tickets is no easy task. Most government ferries depart from the Phoenix Bay Jetty in Port Blair (capital city), making it a common starting point for inter island travel.
The queues are long, tickets are limited, and the government ferry tickets online portal opens only at specific timings. The experience isn’t as comfortable as a private ferry. And well, you don’t come to the Andaman Islands every day, wouldn’t it be wiser to make your ferry booking in advance for a more hassle-free and enjoyable trip from Port Blair to Havelock Island?
Just like its beauty, Andaman Islands has a lot to offer when it comes to its ferries. With a wide variety to choose from in terms of pricing, facilities, ferry timings and durations, the private ferries in the Andaman Islands will make your travel easy and enjoyable. However, keep in mind that ferry schedules may sometimes be affected by weather conditions, so it’s always advisable to plan accordingly.
Overall, the tickets range from INR 950 to a maximum of INR 3100 for different classes. Since the prices fluctuate from off-season to peak season on both private and government ferries, it’s always advisable to check ferry booking details in advance for routes like Port Blair to Havelock Island and other islands before finalizing your travel plans.
