Best Time to Visit Andaman: A Month-by-Month Guide
When to go for calm seas, good visibility, and the fewest crowds — and when to avoid.
November to February — peak season
The most reliable window for calm seas, clear underwater visibility and dependable ferry schedules. This is also peak tourist season, so book accommodation and inter-island ferries well in advance, especially around the December–January holiday period.
March to April — shoulder season
Still good sea conditions with fewer crowds and typically better hotel rates than peak season. Daytime temperatures start climbing, but it remains a strong window for both sightseeing and water activities.
May to September — monsoon
The southwest monsoon brings heavier rain and rougher inter-island ferry crossings. Some water activities may be suspended on rough days. Not recommended for a first visit, though Port Blair itself remains accessible.
October — transition month
Weather is variable as the monsoon recedes. Late October onward is generally a safe bet as conditions stabilise ahead of peak season.
