Havelock Island 3 Day Itinerary

This Havelock Island 3 day itinerary is built for travellers who want a realistic, locally-aware plan without overloading every day. It combines the destination's key places, stay-area guidance, group planning tips, cost notes, and practical buffers so your group can plan faster.

You'll cover Ferry arrival, check-in, Radhanagar Beach sunset, Elephant Beach snorkelling/water activities. Most days are easiest from Beach No. 3/5 resort belt, Radhanagar side or jetty-side stays. One thing to plan around: sea conditions and ferry timings can reshape the plan; keep water activities flexible.
