Best Time to Visit

  • The best time to visit Andaman and Nicobar aligns with Swaraj Dweep's peak season from October to May, when pleasant weather prevails. Temperatures hover between 25 and 30°C, ideal for beach outings and water sports. Monsoon months from June to September bring heavy rains, limiting outdoor pursuits. ● Winter (Nov-Feb): Cool breezes, minimal rainfall, perfect for tours. ● Summer (Mar-May): Warm days, calm seas for diving, snorkeling & other watersports activities. ● Avoid June- Sept: High humidity and rough waters disrupt plans. Clear skies during dry months amplify the island's beauty. Planning an Andaman Nicobar trip around these periods maximizes experiences.

Do's ✅

  • Find out about safe swimming/diving areas from Tourist Info Center, Local Tour Operators or Forest Dept. Staff. Avoid Protected Areas.
  • Look for safety sign boards to identify potential dangers.
  • Ask a lifeguard about swimming conditions like currents, tides, visibility, and presence of marine creatures.
  • Swim with a friend; supervise children; avoid swimming in the dark.
  • Raise your hand for help if in trouble, stay calm and signal for assistance.

Don't ❌

  • Do not dangle arms or legs from boats.
  • Avoid swimming under influence of alcohol or drugs.
