Baratang Island

Baratang Island

Baratang Island is known for its limestone caves and a mangrove creek boat ride through narrow tidal channels — a distinctly different experience from the beach-focused islands.

It's typically visited as a full-day excursion from Port Blair rather than an overnight stay, and requires an early start due to the tribal reserve road-permit timings.

• Limestone cave exploration by local boat
• Mangrove creek ride through narrow tidal channels

• Full-day excursion, typically combined with Port Blair stay
