A minimum of 5-6 days is recommended to cover the main attractions including Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island. For a comprehensive trip including water sports and leisure time, 7-8 days is ideal. Add 2-3 more days if you want to explore Baratang or other remote islands.
Yes, Andaman is very safe for tourists, including solo travelers and families. The crime rate is low, and locals are friendly. However, standard precautions apply - avoid isolated areas at night, follow safety guidelines for water activities, and be careful of sea currents while swimming.
