Excluding flights, a comfortable 6-day Andaman trip for two runs ₹45,000–₹60,000 in season. You can do it leaner, and you can absolutely do it fancier — here’s the line-by-line reality we quote from, with no hidden-markup games.
| Line item (couple, 6 days) | Budget | Comfort | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hotels (5 nights) | ₹12,000 | ₹22,000 | ₹45,000+ |
| Ferries (4 legs) | ₹8,000 | ₹10,000 | ₹13,000 |
| Transfers & sightseeing | ₹6,000 | ₹9,000 | ₹14,000 |
| Activities (dive, boat trips) | ₹7,000 | ₹10,000 | ₹18,000 |
| Food (lunches/dinners) | ₹5,000 | ₹8,000 | ₹14,000 |
Where couples overspend, every time: last-minute ferry tickets (the cheap classes go first), taxis flagged on beach roads instead of pre-booked transfers, and “package” quotes that bury a 25% markup inside a vague total. Ask any operator — including us — to show the per-day split. If they won’t, that’s your answer.
For calibration: our ready itineraries land at ₹16,999 pp for 4 days, ₹24,499 pp for 6 days and ₹27,499 pp for the honeymoon spec — each including hotels, all ferries, transfers, a free scuba dive and a Radhanagar photoshoot. Compare that against the table and you’ll see why we publish it. Ferry pricing detail lives in the ferry guide; for a budget built around your dates, customise a trip.
Quick answers
Is Andaman expensive compared to Goa?
On-ground costs are similar to Goa’s mid-range; flights and ferries are the extra. What you buy with the difference: emptier beaches and far better water.
How much cash should we carry to Andaman?
ATMs exist in Port Blair and Havelock but queue and empty out in season. Carry ₹10,000–₹15,000 in cash for small eateries, autos and jetty snacks; hotels and dive shops take UPI/cards.
Do package prices include flights?
Almost never — ours included. Flights from the mainland vary too wildly by date; book them 6–8 weeks out and the trip total stays sane.
