FERRY TIME CHANGE POLICY

We cannot be held responsible for any change in ferry timings as it is entirely controlled by the local administration.

TRANSFER POLICY

Incase you are availing transfer services from us may we request you to advice us at the earliest and also send us all passenger names and ages to book the tickets from PB - Havelock - PB.

GOVT FERRY PB- Havelock: Incase of foreign nationals tickets can only be bought after you land since the RAP number is mandatory to book the tickets and hence we cannot guarantee availability of tickets. Incase you would like a guaranteed ticket you should book a flight that allows you to connect to Makruzz which departs at 0845 hrs from PB- Havelock for which we can book tickets one month in advance. For Indian nationals tickets can be booked only 02 days in advance and all tickets and seats are subject to availability. We require a ID proof of all Indian Nationals. We do arrange tickets as per guest preference and there are only one or two times a year when we are unable to and the we will be liable only to the value of the ticket. Guest will need to stay back at Port Blair and depart the next day.

GOVT FERRY Havelock- PB: Tickets can be pre booked 03 days in advance we book all tickets as per the schedule. The ferry is only a 100 seater and hence we book the afternoon ferry 1400 hrs or 1630 hrs based on availability. Once tickets are bought there will be no refund provided on the same incase of any cancellation or amendment. We would request all guest to let us know if they would like Makruzz on there return at the time of booking to avoid any loss of money caused due to non refund of Govt ferry tickets. 

Makruzz: We would recommend you read the Makruzz sailing schedule and try to book flights that connect with that so that we can book and confirm tickets in advance. Do note Makruzz ticket bookings only open a month in advance. Incase Makruzz tickets are sold we will be able to advice you in advance based on your travel dates.

VISA PERMITS FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS

• It has been brought to our notice that some Indian missions are now requiring a separate form to be filled incase you are visiting the Andaman Islands. We would request you to declare that you are visiting these Islands if your VISA has not been already issued.
• The ‘Restricted Access Permit’ is issued on arrival at Port Blair by the Immigrations and the same does not need to be applied in advance.
• Incase your Visa has been received kindly do check and ensure that there is NO SEPARATE STAMP stating ‘Entry to Restricted Areas Not Permitted’.  If this exists, do contact the Indian mission to amend the same.
• Please also note that there is a pre-printed separate line in the Visa which would state: ‘Not valid for prohibited, restricted and cantonment areas’ and this line can be ignored.
• Kindly note this is a Government related requirement and we will not take any liability incase of a guest having to return back from airport due to non compliance of the government rules and regulations. Our normal cancellation policy will apply
