Andaman
outdoors
Andaman is famous for its beaches, blue waters, and adventure sports, but there’s something special that not many people know about—night kayaking. Instead of the usual water activities, this one happens in the dark. No loud crowds, no rush—just you, the still water, and the beauty of nature. If you’re booking Andaman tour packages, this is something you shouldn’t miss.
The most exciting part? The water glows! This happens because of tiny plankton that light up when they are disturbed. So, as you move your paddle, the water around you starts to shine. It’s a rare natural phenomenon that you won’t see everywhere.
Night Kayaking in Andaman usually costs between ₹2,500 and ₹3,500 per person. Prices may vary depending on the tour operator, duration, and inclusions such as safety gear, guides, and refreshments.
