While Ross Island has ancient ruins and an intriguing past, ferries do not sail from the island itself. Ferries to Ross Island depart from Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Travel to Ross Island:
Ferries to Ross Island depart from either the Andaman Water Sports Complex or the Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports Complex in Port Blair. These complexes are around 500 meters apart and close to Aberdeen Bazaar.
To get to the water sports facility, take an autorickshaw or cab from your accommodation in Port Blair.
