Reaching North Bay Island by Shared boat or Ferry
 

The trip to the North Bay Island begins from the hotel to the Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex via road. On reaching the complex, you can board the ferries that will take you to North Bay Island followed by Ross Island. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the Ross Island and about 30 minutes to North Bay Island by boat. As stated earlier, Ross and North Bay Islands are covered together as a full-day trip by these shared boats.

It will hardly take up to 2 hours in Ross Island and after that, we head back to the same boat and continue the trip towards North Bay Island, it takes about 4 to 4.5 hours to complete the entire Day trip.


The shared boats/ferries are available of various makes, varied capacity and various speeds and all are well equipped with life jackets and rings for safety. A guide accompanies each group as they head toward these islands and that guide himself briefs the visitors about the island’s history and other necessary information to be known during the trip. Once the boat reaches the island the tourists can go ahead and avail the activities or just sit back and relax at the beach. The same boat will take you to and fro so keep in mind the name of the boat while returning to Port Blair.

In case you miss the boat name you need not worry an alternative arrangement will be made for you in another boat. However, it is always advisable to complete the trip in the same boat. The Island opens for visitors around 8 AM and closes around 3 PM and is closed on Wednesdays.

 

By private Chartered Boats From Port Blair

 

Private charter boats exclusively to North Bay Island or to both North Bay and Ross Islands are available. Since the entire boat has to chartered the cost is more when compared to shared trips.
