If you’re visiting the Andaman Islands for the first time and want to experience water sports beyond the usual sightseeing, you’re in for a treat. The islands are packed with activities that suit both beginners and thrill-seekers.


Here are a few worth trying:


  • Scuba Diving (Havelock & Neil): Great visibility, beginner-friendly dive spots, and certified instructors make it perfect for first-timers.
  • Sea Walking (North Bay): You literally walk on the sea bed surrounded by fish — no swimming skills needed.
  • Snorkeling (Elephant Beach): The coral reefs are right near the surface, so it’s easy and beautiful.
  • Parasailing (Corbyn’s Cove): A quick adrenaline rush with a killer view of the coast.
  • Banana Boat Ride & Jet Ski: Fun if you’re in a group or traveling with family.

If you’re planning your itinerary and want to know which beaches or islands offer these activities, I’ve listed them in one place on my travel site about Andaman adventures — just search “Ocean Andaman Hills water sports” on Google and it should come up.


Would love to hear from others — which activity did you enjoy the most in Andaman? Any hidden gems you’d recommend for beginners?
