Government Ferry
The state-run ferry service between the main islands — the most budget-friendly way to island-hop. We help you sort out seats and timing for your dates.
The A&N Administration runs government ferry services connecting Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island. Fares are significantly lower than private cruise operators, though schedules are less frequent and seats can sell out in peak season.
Tickets are booked through the Directorate of Shipping Services’ official counters or portal. Send us your travel dates and preferred route, and we’ll help confirm seat availability and sort out the booking on your behalf.

Schedule: government ferries are generally slower than private operators (around 2–2.5 hours vs. 90 minutes on private catamarans) and run less frequently — we’ll confirm current timetables when you enquire.
Booking window: government ferry tickets can sell out days in advance in peak season (November–April) — booking a week or more ahead is safest during that window.
