The Andaman Islands are home to some of the most stunning and remote destinations, and Snake Island is one of them. Located near Port Blair, this island is famous for its untamed wilderness and exotic marine life. It’s called Snake Island because of the presence of sea snakes and coral reefs, though snakes are rarely seen near the beach area.
If you're planning an Andaman tour package, discovering the beauty of Snake Island from a distance should be on your itinerary. While its name may sound intimidating, it is not just about snakes—it's also a treasure trove of underwater wonders.
The island is inaccessible to tourists due to its hostile terrain, but the crystal-clear waters around it offer some of the best diving experiences in Andaman. Whether you're an adventurer or a nature lover, exploring the secrets of Snake Island will be a thrilling experience.
There is no specific entry fee for Snake Island. However, visitors need to hire a boat from Wandoor Beach or Port Blair to reach the island.
