Andaman Monsoon Travel Guide (2025 Edition)

Updated for the 2025 travel season

🌧️ Is it a Good Idea to Visit the Andamans in Monsoon?

Yes — if you’re looking for solitude, lush landscapes, and budget-friendly travel! The monsoon season in the Andaman Islands (June to September) sees fewer tourists, making it perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds and experience nature in its purest form.

🚤 Makruzz Ferry Operations During Monsoon

• Regular Service: Makruzz continues to operate key routes like Port Blair – Havelock – Neil, weather permitting.

• Comfort: Our high-speed catamarans are built to ensure smooth travel even in the monsoon.

📅 What’s the Weather Like?

Expect short, heavy showers followed by clear skies. The forests turn a deep emerald green, the air is fresh, and sunsets are often dramatic. Average temperatures range between 24°C and 30°C.

💡 Top Things to Do in the Monsoon

1. Explore the historic Cellular Jail and attend the light & sound show.
2. Take a scenic ferry ride with Makruzz and watch rain clouds drift across the ocean.
3. Relax at beach cafés in Havelock or Neil with hot chai and ocean views.
4. Visit Chidiya Tapu for birdwatching in the monsoon mist.
