Little Andaman
Lush, raw and barely visited, for the truly adventurous traveller.
Overview
Little Andaman lies well south of Port Blair and is the least visited of the accessible islands, reached only by a long ferry crossing across open water that can take several hours depending on the day. Ferry schedules stay limited and weather-dependent throughout the season.
It is lush and raw, covered in dense forest, cut through by waterfalls, and edged with surf-worthy beaches, with very few other tourists around to share any of it. Butler Bay Beach draws a small but dedicated surfing crowd during the right season, while the White Surf and Whisper Wave waterfalls offer a genuine jungle walk through thick, untouched forest. Facilities stay basic, so travellers should arrive reasonably self-sufficient, ready for a slower pace than anywhere else in the Andamans and a genuinely wilder, more remote kind of island trip overall.
