Emerald Tours and Travels

Planning a trip to the breathtaking Andaman and Nicobar Islands calls for a travel partner who knows the region inside and out. Emerald Tours and Travels, operating from Port Blair, is widely recognized for crafting seamless island holidays that turn travel dreams into reality. The team brings together deep local knowledge, well-established networks, and a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction to design itineraries that feel personal and effortless.

From the moment you reach out, the focus is on understanding your travel style—whether you are looking for a romantic honeymoon escape, a relaxed family vacation, or an adrenaline-fueled adventure trip. By handling everything from ferry bookings and hotel reservations to private cab transfers and activity passes, Emerald Tours and Travels removes the usual travel hassles so you can focus entirely on experiencing the islands’ turquoise waters and white-sand beaches.

Customized Andaman Tour Packages

Every traveler has a different idea of the perfect island getaway, and the agency is built around that belief. Instead of pushing fixed itineraries, the team listens first and builds later. A family of four with young children needs a very different rhythm than a couple celebrating their anniversary, and Emerald Tours and Travels structures days accordingly.

• Couple & Honeymoon Packages: Romantic beachside stays, candlelit dinners, and private sunset cruises create unforgettable moments for two.
• Family Tour Packages: Kid-friendly hotels, safe swimming beaches, and relaxed sightseeing schedules keep every member of the family happy.
• Group Tour Packages: Coordinated logistics, spacious vehicles, and group-friendly hotels make traveling with friends smooth and economical.
• Adventure Tour Packages: Scuba diving, snorkeling, sea walking, jet skiing, and parasailing are woven into itineraries for thrill-seekers.
• Budget-Friendly Packages: Smart accommodation choices and optimized routes keep the trip affordable without sacrificing experiences.

Island Hopping Itineraries

Most packages include the classic Port Blair–Swaraj Dweep (Havelock)–Shaheed Dweep (Neil) circuit. Guests visiting for longer durations can add Baratang Island’s limestone caves and mud volcanoes, Diglipur’s twin islands, or the quiet charm of Long Island. Each island brings a different flavor—Radhanagar Beach on Havelock consistently ranks among Asia’s finest, while Neil Island’s natural rock formations and laid-back vibe offer the perfect contrast.

Complete Travel Services Under One Roof

One of the biggest advantages of booking with a local operator is not having to coordinate with multiple vendors. Emerald Tours and Travels functions as a single point of contact for nearly every service required during an Andaman trip. The team’s long-standing relationships with hoteliers, ferry operators, and activity providers in the region translate into better availability and competitive pricing for guests.

• Hotel & Resort Booking: Booking options span luxury beach resorts, mid-range hotels, and cozy eco-lodges, with special attention to honeymoon suites and family rooms.
• Ferry & Cruise Booking: Government and private ferry tickets, including Makruzz, Green Ocean, and Nautika, are secured well in advance to avoid last-minute scrambles.
• Private Cab & Transportation: Clean, air-conditioned vehicles with experienced drivers handle all airport pickups, inter-hotel transfers, and sightseeing runs.
• Airline Ticketing: Flight booking assistance is available for travelers who prefer an all-in-one solution.
• Water Sports & Activities: Scuba diving, sea walk helmets, game fishing, semi-submarine coral safari, Sea Kart rides, and snorkeling trips can be pre-booked.

Why Travelers in Port Blair Trust the Team

With an impressive rating of 4.8 stars from over 335 reviews on Google Maps, the agency has clearly struck a chord with guests. Reviewers consistently mention a few recurring themes: well-coordinated logistics, friendly and responsive staff, and the ability to customize trips on the go. Many specifically appreciate the support of the planning team, especially for handling last-minute changes caused by weather or ferry schedule shifts.

The agency is a member of the Association of Tour Operators (ATO), underscoring its commitment to professional standards. Operating since 2007, the company has built a reputation through word-of-mouth referrals as much as through its online presence. Visitors return home and recommend them to friends and family—the strongest endorsement any travel business can earn.

On-the-Ground Support

Travel in the Andamans is heavily dependent on ferry and weather conditions. When a ferry gets delayed or a snorkeling spot becomes inaccessible due to currents, having a local team that can instantly reorder the day’s plan makes a huge difference. Emerald Tours and Travels monitors these variables daily and communicates changes proactively, so you are never left stranded at a jetty or wondering what comes next.

Serving Port Blair, Havelock, Neil & Beyond

The main office sits near Dugnabad School in Sri Vijaya Puram (Port Blair), the entry point for nearly all visitors to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Being based in the capital city allows the team to coordinate airport arrivals, hotel check-ins, and onward ferry journeys with precision. From Port Blair, they manage itineraries stretching across Swaraj Dweep (Havelock), Shaheed Dweep (Neil), Baratang, Rangat, Mayabunder, Diglipur, and Little Andaman—effectively covering the entire accessible island chain.

The team’s deep familiarity with each island’s roads, attractions, and seasonal conditions means you don’t waste time on routes that are closed or less rewarding during a particular month. They know when the turtle nesting season peaks on certain beaches and which fruit orchards are ready for a visit, adding layers to the trip that generic online guides rarely capture.

Adventure & Marine Experiences

Andaman’s underwater world is globally celebrated, and Emerald Tours and Travels ensures guests experience it safely. The agency partners with certified dive centers and activity operators who maintain equipment standards and follow safety protocols. Whether you are a first-time snorkeler or a certified diver looking for deep-wall dives, they match you with the right experience.

• Scuba Diving: Shore dives and boat dives at sites like Lighthouse, Aquarium, and Jackson’s Bar.
• Sea Walk: An easy helmet dive that lets non-swimmers walk on the seabed surrounded by fish.
• Snorkeling: Trips to North Bay, Elephant Beach, and Bharatpur Beach for shallow coral viewing.
• Game Fishing: Deep-sea fishing excursions for marlin, tuna, and barracuda.
• Jet Ski & Parasailing: Thrill rides at popular beach destinations like Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex.

Hours, Location & Directions

The office operates daily from 09:00 to 21:00, making it convenient to stop by or call even after a full day of sightseeing. The physical location at Office No. 3, near Dugnabad School, Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman and Nicobar Islands 744101, is easy to locate for guests staying in the city. For those arriving by air, it’s a short drive from Veer Savarkar International Airport, and the team can arrange an airport pickup that includes a brief orientation on the way to your hotel.

Contact numbers and email are always active: dial +91 94342 84736 or email andamantour2004@gmail.com for inquiries, custom quotes, and real-time booking confirmations. Many guests also reach out through the website’s enquiry form or WhatsApp chat for quick questions.

Questions Visitors Ask

Travelers often have similar doubts when planning an Andaman trip, and the team’s experience shines through in the answers they provide. Clarity on permits, island connectivity, and the best time to visit helps set realistic expectations before you even pack your bags.

• Do I need a special permit for the Andaman Islands? Indian nationals only need a standard government ID. Foreign nationals require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP), which is issued on arrival at Port Blair airport—the team guides international guests through this process.
• How many days are ideal for a first-time visit? Most first-timers enjoy a 5N/6D itinerary covering Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island. For a deeper exploration, 7N/8D allows you to include Baratang or Diglipur.
• Can the itinerary be changed midway? Yes, flexibility is one of the agency’s strongest points. As long as ferry and hotel availability permits, adjustments are happily accommodated.
• Are water sports safe? The agency only works with licensed operators who conduct pre-activity briefings and provide certified gear. First-time participants are guided step-by-step.
