Please note since Havelock is an Island guest has to travel by ferry from Port Blair to reach Havelock and there are multiple ferry options available.
There are Government ferries and other multiple private ferries operational from Port Blair on an everyday basis. However, we do not recommend travel by Govt. ferry ticket since ticket counter opens only 04 days in advance and very tough to purchase tickets since you will have to stand in the queue for a long time and limited seats only are available. Another reason being Govt. ferry takes longer time to reach Havelock (about 3 hours approx.. might take longer in days of bad weather)
Please find the Government Ferry timings for your reference.
Government Ferry
Port Blair - Havelock: 0620 hrs, 1100 hrs, 1300 hrs & 1400 hrs
Havelock - Port Blair: 0900 hrs, 1130 hrs & 1630 hrs
Reiterating Govt. ferry ticket counter opens only 04 days in advance and very tough to book tickets, hence we do not recommend the same.
Private ferry:
You can choose from the below multiple private ferries options. Though a little expensive compared to Govt. ferry, these can be pre-booked in advance and ferries are neat and clean and takes about 1-2 hours to reach Havelock and Port Blair. Do make sure to reach at least an hour prior to the sailing time since you will have to carry your luggage inside the Jetty till the ferry and check-in your luggage and then proceed to board your allotted seats. Please carry you ID cards/Visa/RAP while traveling to Havelock since the same is required to board the ferry as well as to enter the Havelock Island. Set sail and enjoy the stunning view of the sea and coastline!
