Questions people actually ask

Is scuba diving or snorkeling included in the price?

No. Water activities like scuba, kayaking, and snorkeling aren't part of the package and can be booked locally on the day. The private charter to Barren Island is included, but the boat doesn't land; it gets close enough to see the volcano smoking.

What's actually included in the ₹55,000?

Double-sharing 3-star stays for all 6 nights, daily breakfast, airport transfers, inter-island ferries, entry permits and tickets, the Cellular Jail show, and the private Barren Island boat charter (valued at ₹25,000 per person on its own).

How far in advance do I need to book?

A non-refundable ₹5,000 deposit confirms your seat; the balance is due 15 days before departure. Bookings within 15 days of departure need full payment upfront.

What's the cancellation policy?

30+ days before departure: full refund (deposit retained, adjustable to a future trip). 15–29 days: 25% of tour cost. 7–14 days: 50%. 6 days or less, or a no-show: no refund.

Why does the price go up closer to the date?

It's a genuine early-bird ladder, not a countdown gimmick: ₹55,000 by 31 Aug, ₹57,000 from 1–15 Sep, ₹60,000 after that. Book earlier, pay less.

Are there other departure dates for this trip?

Yes. The same 7-day/6-night circuit also runs 14–20 Nov at a promotional ₹55,000. Ask us about custom dates or a private group departure.

Do I need any special permits to visit these islands?

Entry permits, tickets, and parking are handled as part of the package wherever applicable. You'll need a valid photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Passport) for ferry tickets and permits.
