North Bay Island: Your Ferry Gateway to Coral Paradise

North Bay Island, a crown jewel of the Andamans, is famed for its coral reefs teeming with marine life and crystal-clear turquoise waters. But to reach this slice of paradise, you’ll need to embark on a scenic ferry ride. Here’s your guide to navigating the ferry services to North Bay Island:

Departure Points:

Ferries to North Bay Island don’t operate directly from Port Blair, the capital city. Instead, they depart from:

  • Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex: This complex, situated close to Aberdeen Bazaar, is the most common departure point for ferries heading towards North Bay Island.

Ferry Options and Timings:

Several private operators offer ferry services to North Bay Island. They typically follow a similar schedule:

  • Morning departures: Between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM. The exact timings may vary depending on the operator and passenger volume.

Combo Tours:

Many operators provide combined ferry tours to both North Bay Island and Ross Island, another historic island nearby. These tours typically depart earlier in the morning to allow time to explore both islands.

Costs:

Ferry rides to North Bay Island are generally affordable. Expect to pay around ₹300 to ₹500 per person for a return trip. This might not include the entry fee to the island, which is usually around ₹45.

Important Considerations:

  • Limited online booking: While some operators offer online booking, it’s not always readily available. Purchasing tickets directly at the jetty might be necessary.
  • Advance purchase recommended: Especially during peak season (November to February), buying tickets in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment.
  • Weather fluctuations: Ferry rides can be affected by weather conditions. Be prepared for potential delays or cancellations.
  • Limited facilities: Pack essentials like light clothes, sunscreen, a hat, and a swimsuit. Remember, there are limited changing facilities on North Bay Island.
With its calm waters and vibrant underwater world, North Bay Island is a must-visit for nature lovers. A ferry ride provides a comfortable and scenic route to this captivating island. By following these pointers, you can ensure a hassle-free journey and a memorable experience exploring North Bay’s wonders.
