Enjoy a peaceful sunset kayaking experience in the Andaman Islands as you paddle across calm waters and watch the sky change colours over the sea.
Book NowThe Andaman and Nicobar Islands are better known for reefs and beaches, which is exactly why the mangroves stay quiet. A kayak gets into creeks a motorboat cannot enter, and without an engine the wildlife does not clear out ahead of you. That is the whole case for kayaking here, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are still one of the quieter places to do it.
You sit low, close to the waterline, in a stable sit on top kayak. The creek narrows until the mangrove canopy closes overhead in places. It is quiet enough to hear fiddler crabs moving in the mud. Nobody is racing, and a two hour trip covers a modest distance because stopping to look is the point.
The 7:00 AM departure has the calmer water and the better bird activity, with herons and kingfishers working the creek edges early. The 4:00 PM departure trades some of that for warmer light and, on a good day, a sunset on the paddle back. Tides shift the exact timing slightly, so we confirm the departure when you book rather than promising a minute.
No to both. These are flat water creeks, not surf, and the kayaks are stable enough to sit still in while you watch something. Paddling with children is covered in our family guide. A life jacket is worn for the entire trip and is not optional. If you can walk to the launch point and get in and out of a kayak with a hand, you can do this trip.
Our packing checklist has the full list. Leave behind anything you would be upset to drop in a creek. Sandals with a heel strap beat flip flops.
Wear quick-drying clothing and water shoes or sandals with a heel strap. Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses with a strap, and a reusable water bottle. We provide dry bags for your valuables. A light rain jacket is recommended during monsoon season.
No to both. Everyone wears a fitted life jacket for the whole trip, and every trip starts with a safety briefing and a short paddling lesson on land. A guide paddles with the group the whole way.
Groups are small: up to 10 paddlers on daytime trips and up to 8 on the night paddle. The guide paddles alongside the group rather than leading from a distance.
Yes. Each trip is booked separately, and the daytime and night trips paddle the same creeks at very different times, so they make a good pair. Book each one for its own date and departure on the booking page.
November to April is the most reliable stretch, with calm water and clear mornings. May to September brings the southwest monsoon, when creeks stay paddleable more often than people expect but trips get cancelled at short notice as the wind picks up. Within a day, the 7:00 AM departure has the calmest water and the most bird activity.
You sit low, close to the waterline, in a stable sit-on-top kayak. The creeks narrow until the mangrove canopy closes overhead in places, and without an engine the wildlife does not clear out ahead of you. It is quiet, sheltered water rather than open sea, which is why it suits beginners.
Choose the daytime mangrove trip for birds, wildlife and calm morning water. Choose the night paddle if you want the chance of seeing bioluminescence, which is never guaranteed. Choose the sunset trip for evening light over the water. Many visitors do one day trip and one night trip.
All trips start at Havelock Jetty on Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep). We do not run hotel pickup, so plan a taxi or a rented scooter to reach the meeting point.
We run three guided trips, all on Havelock Island: mangrove kayaking (2 hours), bioluminescent night kayaking (1.5 hours) and sunset kayaking (1.5 hours). Each is ₹3,500 per person, graded for beginners, guided throughout, and none needs swimming ability.
