Detailed Overview

Ross Island (Paris of the East) This tiny island located right across Port Blair is less than a square kilometre in size. Ross Island was the capital for the British from 1858 to 1941 until the Japanese took over and converted it to a site for war prisoners during the Second World War. Here you can see the ruins of the cathedral and the graveyard of the British, a British era bakery, post office, chief commissioner’s house and few other colonial landmarks which are now under the custody of wild wines and old trees.

North Bay Beach (Coral Island) This island is home to the iconic lighthouse which is depicted on every 20 rupees Indian currency note. In North Bay beach you can indulge in snorkelling around its vibrant coral reefs. The coral reefs at North Bay are spread over a large area. While you snorkel through the pristine water you can spot a wide variety of marine life waltzing around the coral reef. If you are not up for snorkelling then walk on the seabed in sea walking which started recently in North Bay.

The tour was canceled citing unfavorable weather. I got the call a day before in the evening. The person calling asked me to check once in the morning on the next day. I gave him a call and confirmed that the tour was canceled. Later we came to know from the locals that the tour was not at all occurring for the past few weeks because of cyclonic weather in that part of the sea. It was disappointing that we could not experience the beauty of Ross Island.

The trip went good and as per the plan, we quite enjoyed the complete experience. The only downer was I had to buy entry tickets for Ross island as some government regulations changed, travellers had to buy tickets themselves.

Tour operator made arrangement for island hopping in a old 50+ seater ferry and I was travelling with my wife and infant daughter. This kind of ferries drop you on Islands timely but pick you up 1-1.5 hrs later actual time. Operator should intimate this kind of details to travellers or make arrangements with 10-12 seater fibre speed boats.
