Ross Island boat Trip


Discover the Soul of Port Blair – Where History Meets the Sea

Overview

Step into a story where time stands still and the ocean whispers tales of the past. The Ross Island & North Bay Round Trip is not just an excursion—it’s a journey through heritage, beauty, and adventure.

From the haunting ruins of British-era buildings covered in gentle green moss to the coral-filled waters that burst with color, this full-day trip gives you a rare glimpse of Andaman’s dual charm—history above the sea, and wonder beneath it.
