The top legit mantras to be followed:

Mantra #1: SEASON & DATES

Always check for the dates which you are planning. Ok, this is something everyone should know, the season. Andaman is usually promoted as an all-weather destination and travelers visit the islands throughout the year. The season in Andaman is from October to April end and you can consider visiting the island in the month of May or September as well. In June, July and August most of the private ferries don’t operate. Also, activities such as Sea Walk, Snorkeling at Elephant beach and Jollybuoy Island are closed due to less inflow of travelers to Andaman. Monsoon hit the islands mostly by month of June, July, August and September as well. Keep a check on the weather forecast in case you are arriving during the off season. Peak Season starts from 15 December to 15 January or may extend to 20 January depending upon the hotels.

MANTRA #2: DESTINATIONS TO BE KNOWN

Know about the best destinations in Andamans. Top 03 exclusively visited destinations in Andaman are: Port Blair, Havelock & Neil Island,Each one of these has its own unique attraction that one should experience. You could also choose islands you find most fascinating. Honeymoon Packages should definitely contain these destinations. The best combination widely availed by the travelers is 03 Nights in Port Blair, 02 Night in Havelock & 01 Night at Neil Island. Make sure your Honeymoon Package contains all the best islands in Andaman.

MANTRA #3: LOOK OUT FOR DETAILED ITINERARY

Everyone wants a trip fully customized as per their requirement. Know about the best sightseeing places in Andaman. I would recommend you to check the list of Sightseeing places mentioned in the itinerary. Demand for a day to day itinerary with the category of rooms, as a picturesque view from the room acts as a perfect catalyst for setting off a romantic moment between a honeymoon couple, you may either opt for a Sea facing or other panoramic view.

MANTRA #4: PARTNER’S INTERVENTION

The most important thing while planning honeymoon is to discuss with your partner as whether the itinerary or the sightseeing trips are in his/her liking or not. This is must as honeymooners should be happy about the tours that are being availed. If both have different sort of interest then mix and match the trip so that it is liked by each one of you. Well, this will help both know each other in a better way through such trips.

MANTRA #5: KNOW THE FOOD

If you love coastal cuisines and seafood, a honeymoon in Andaman is just perfect. From small restaurants to four-star restaurants, everything will please your taste buds. Finding North Indian and South Indian cuisines is not going to be tough either. Vegetarian couples need to explore the various options available. You definitely don’t want to spoil the fun because of the kind of food you don’t appreciate.

While the finer restaurant offer you a host of Indian, Continental and European picks, the smaller local dhabas don’t disappoint either. Try the aloo-paratha meal at Havelock or the delicious fluffy idli’s at a near-by food joint. Exotic delicious food options are available at reasonable cost.

MANTRA #6: ACTIVITIES IN & AROUND

Yes, Honeymoon Couples keep scuba and snorkeling in their checklist as they this given a wonderful experience. Go for them, as the ocean is full of treasures, but explore other sports like, sea walking, fishing and island camping too. They are as romantic as your romantic beach dinner and give you a lot of memories of doing adventurous things together.

MANTRA #7: CONSULT A TOUR GURU

Andaman honeymoon packages can be offered by anyone. Consult with someone who knows the turf. However make sure that the company you are traveling with is a genuine company as you would never expectany issues after arrival in the islands. My advice will be to go with the DMC (Destination Management Companies)located in the Andaman Islands as these are the people who are in Andamans and who know the actual fact to help you better.
