Traveling with Kid/Baby to the Andaman Islands

Dreaming of white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and tropical adventures — but hesitant because you’re traveling with a little one? Don’t worry! With My Tour Guru, your family trip to the Andaman Islands can be safe, fun, and truly unforgettable.

Experience the joy of exploring Andaman with your child by your side. The serene beaches, gentle waves, and lush green surroundings make the perfect setting for creating lifelong memories with your little explorers.

But we get it — traveling with kids means extra planning and precautions. You may be wondering:

Are there mosquitoes that could bother my baby?
Are the beaches safe for infants?
Do beachside cottages pose risks from wild animals?
Will the tropical weather be too harsh for my child?
Which activities are kid-friendly in Andaman?

Let’s put those worries to rest.

Is Andaman Safe for Kids?

Absolutely! From a local perspective, Andaman is very safe for families with children. There are no dangerous wild animals on the islands, and beachside cottages are completely safe. The natural environment is peaceful, and locals are welcoming and friendly.

Parents who’ve traveled here with their children often say it’s one of their most enjoyable and hassle-free vacations. Just a few precautions — like packing full-sleeved clothes and carrying essential edibles — can make your trip stress-free.

Medical Facilities for Kids in Andaman

While the main islands like Havelock and Neil offer only basic medical services, Port Blair has the G.B. Pant Government Hospital, which handles most emergencies. However, for specialized or high-quality care, it’s best to rely on mainland India.

Pro Tips:

Carry your child’s medicines and any special equipment.
Use boiled or bottled water only.
In case of emergencies, Experience Andamans provides free vehicle transport in Port Blair and Havelock.

Safety Tips for Parents

Pack lightweight, full-sleeved clothes and sun hats.
Use mosquito repellents and avoid staying outdoors at sunset when sandflies are active.
Bring your child’s preferred snacks or Cerelac.
Stick to hygienic food options — many hotels recommended by My Tour Guru prioritize cleanliness.

Activities to Avoid with Infants or Very Young Kids

While most attractions are safe, some may be tiring or uncomfortable for infants:

1. Elephant Beach (Havelock Island)

Boat rides can be bumpy for infants. Visit only if the weather is calm and you’re comfortable.

2. Baratang Island

This full-day trip starts at 3 AM — not ideal for babies or toddlers due to heat, limited food options, and long travel hours.

3. Remote Islands in Middle and North Andaman

These offbeat places involve longer travel durations and might be tiring for small children.

Must-Do Family-Friendly Activities in Andaman

Wondering how to make the most of your Andaman tour package with kids? Here’s a list of the best experiences tailored for young explorers:

🐠 1. Glass Bottom Boat Ride

🏊 4. Swimming and Beach Play

Radhanagar Beach, one of Asia’s best, is ideal for playing in the sand and gentle sea. For babies under 6 months, avoid direct contact with seawater.

Cruises like Makruzz, Nautika, Green Ocean, and ITT Majestic are fast, comfortable, and offer a memorable sea journey from Port Blair to Havelock or Neil Island.

Can My Kid Try Scuba Diving or Sea Walk?
