● Jolly Buoy is an uninhabited island with dense coastal vegetation and soft‑powder sand, ideal for pure nature‑driven holidays.
● The island falls under an eco‑sensitive zone, so tourist numbers are capped daily to protect its coral ecosystem.
● It is one of the key spots in Andaman and Nicobar Islands tourism that combines sunbathing and glass‑bottom boat rides in a single day trip.
This island is perfect for anyone looking to escape crowded beaches and enjoy a quieter, more eco‑conscious Andaman Nicobar trip.
How To Reach
- ● Jolly Buoy Island cannot be reached by road; it is accessible only by boat from Wandoor Jetty (also known locally as the Wandoor Marine National Park Jetty).
● Regular ferries operate from this jetty to the island during the opening season, with the journey taking roughly 30–45 minutes.
● Most travelers book an Andaman and Nicobar trip through Sri Vijaya Puram; from there, Wandoor is a 30–40‑minute drive, so you can club a Jolly Buoy Island visit with a broader Sri Vijaya Puram day excursion.
If you are planning a visit Andaman and Nicobar trip independently, pre‑booking ferry tickets or joining a combo tour that includes Jolly Buoy Island is highly recommended.
