Island Hopping – Boat Snorkelling To Turtle Beach

You board a boat from Havelock and simply go. There are five stops, each one unique and not yet popular, but offering breathtaking views, more akin to quiet spots where the water is lovely. We will conclude this trip at Turtle Beach with a 45-minute session of snorkelling.

We will provide you with the snorkelling gear, and if you're unsure how to proceed, we will show you. It's not that deep, you just have to float on the surface of the ocean, and look down at the fish, coral, and peculiar shapes moving beneath you. You will get clear water, allowing you to see everything in the aquatic world.

It is simply a fun and adventurous experience as you jump from beach to beach across five beaches on Havelock Island. A local guide will be present to ensure you have a delightful experience without any worry. Each beach will evoke a different feeling, with some offering more fish and others featuring more coral. You don’t need to think of names to enjoy the experience.

We will end our trip with 45 minutes of the best boat snorkelling in the Andaman Islands. Turtle Beach will be our last stop. Away from the typical crowds, this will serve as an ideal gateway to spend some time and enjoy an exhilarating adventure simultaneously. The sand feels untouched, and the snorkelling here is the best out of all five spots. You stay a little longer, there’s no noise, no rush. You’ll probably just want to lie back and take it all in. That’s the day.

Step-by-Step Journey: From Havelock to Turtle Beach by Boat

This boat snorkelling tour from Havelock takes you to five island-hopping spots, each with its appeal and beauty. While the first four activities involve sightseeing from the boat, snorkelling occurs exclusively at Turtle Beach, making this one of the best day trips in the Andaman for exploring and snorkelling, although not for diving.

John Lawrence

A calm, quiet stop with shallow waters and stunning views of the coastline. This location sets the tone for the day, offering a peaceful cruise as you begin your Andaman sea tour.

Henry Lawrence

Surrounded by deeper water and thick forest cover, this point gives you a real feel of remote island beauty. It’s a quick scenic pause before heading to the next spot.

KP 1 Beach

It will be a perfect sight for those who enjoy the tranquil coast during their boat ride from Havelock: a small, secluded beach, untouched by tourism. 

Circle Island (Gol Tekri)

This reef-ringed island is a visual highlight of the tour. Its unique circular shape and shallow edges make it great for photos and surface marine viewing.

Turtle Beach

The last and perhaps the most thrilling destination of the day. You will get to spend 45 minutes exploring the fairly shallow, clear water, with its vibrant corals, tropical fish, and also a chance to see a sea turtle or two on the way. This is the only snorkelling destination of the day, and this is the only destination where you'll find professional snorkelling guides, so the experience can cater to all skills and experiences. And with soft sandy beaches and no crowds, it is the finishing touch to your day on the Andaman Sea.

What You’ll See During Island Hopping – Boat Snorkelling To Turtle Beach

This trip will be slow and simple, with breathtaking views of untouched beaches. The boat ride from Havelock takes you along quiet water, open skies, and beaches with no names. It’s not a rush. Then you reach Turtle Beach. You won't need to bring any gear, just put on the mask, get in, and look down. The Andaman coral reef sits right below you—bright, full, and alive. You float.

You breathe. Fish cut through the reef—tiny ones, yellow ones, ones you don’t know the names of. This is snorkelling in Havelock without stress. No deep water. No training. Just a guide right there with you, the whole time. If you’re lucky, a turtle passes through. The 45 minutes feel slow in the best way. Nothing loud. Just the water, the reef, and you. This is one of those quiet day trips in the Andaman that stays with you. An easy, honest underwater adventure. No more, no less.
