About Andaman Holidays | Award-Winning Andaman Travel Specialists

About Us

Recognized by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, Andaman Holidays is a national award-winning travel specialist. We create immersive island journeys shaped by experience, trust, and local understanding.

Our Heritage

Born from a passion for the extraordinary, our legacy is built onyears of trust, creativity, and a deep respect for these islands.

What began as a vision to showcase the Andamans to the world has grown into a philosophy of crafting journeys that are both personal and profound. From curating private yacht experiences to designing cultural immersions, we remain devoted to connecting travelers with the rare essence of the islands.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is rooted in excellence, a commitment to designtravel that feels tailored, seamless, and transformative.

Every journey is an orchestration of detail, whether it is a sunrise sail or an intimate beachside dinner. We believe that true travel is both inward and outward: a discovery of place and of self. Through bespoke curation, exclusive access, and a sensitivity to local heritage, we ensure that every moment feels authentic, remarkable, and deeply personal.

Our Identity

Our logo is more than a symbol – it is a reflection of the islandswe call home.

The Manta Ray embodies the marine richness of the Andamans, graceful and deeply connected to the sea. Its inner texture draws inspiration from the Andaman Padauk tree, renowned for its strength and unique grain, reminding usof the land's enduring spirit. The flowing wave elements beneath represent the surrounding ocean, capturing the harmony of land and sea.
Together, these elements embody the philosophy of Andaman Holidays: journeys rooted in nature,culture, and timeless elegance.

Andaman Holidays was built by people who live and work here. We are here, and we have been here, and that makes all the difference. The only company headquartered in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to have been awarded the National Tourism Award.

We know these trails, reefs, and tidal windows better than anyone operating in the Andaman. We know which routes reveal the most and when. We know the guides who find endemic species by call and the captains who know the outer islands in any condition. We know what the islands offer and, equally, we know their limits.

Our programs span specialist expeditions, retreat logistics, cruise shore excursions, and private vessel support. What connects every program we run is the same thing: people who know what they are doing, in a place they know completely.
