Being one of the most beautiful coastal destinations of India, the Andaman is among the most highly demanded tourist places. And it is becoming crowded now, but if you’re looking for a pristine paradise away from the tourist crowds, Neil Island, a hidden gem in the Andaman archipelago, is just your perfect place. Often overlooked in typical Andaman tour packages, this small island measuring just 19 sq km is a slice of heaven with its untouched beaches and crystal-clear waters.
Originally named after a British brigadier, Neill Island has transformed from a quiet farming community to an eco-tourism hotspot while maintaining its laid-back charm. What makes this island truly special is its perfect blend of agriculture and tourism – you'll find paddies and vegetable farms right next to pristine beaches.
There is no entry fee to visit Neil Island itself. However, boat or ferry tickets from Port Blair or Havelock are chargeable depending on the type of ferry and season.
