Andaman and Nicobar Islands are an eternally beautiful, peaceful and enchanting group of islands - almost a dreamland (actually a dream island!). If you have seen Goa, Chennai beaches & may be some more Indian beaches across East or West Coastline of India, you have seen nothing yet! Andaman & Nicobar is turquoise, navy-blue & green coloured by way of its flora fauna (in this case the sea life!). Adventure voyages, warm & honest local people, crystal clear waters & most amazing sea food - these are just few amongst the many adventures that you come across at Andaman & Nicobar.

Snorkeling will definitely bind you to this place forever, for the unimaginable and unseen sea life accessed through this activity is something you will never forget. Fishes, sea Anemones, Coral Reefs, Sea Cucumbers, Clams...the list is endless and colours are something you just can't imagine. The vivid life of sea makes for a lifetime experience - how often do we dive into their world after all?
