✅ Dos and ❌ Don’ts for a Seamless Andaman Trip

✅ Dos

• Book ferries and accommodations early, especially between October and April
• Carry essentials: sunscreen, swimwear, insect repellent, and light cotton clothing
• Use reef-safe products to protect marine life
• Respect local customs and tribal boundaries, especially near Baratang
• Keep offline maps and printed tickets—mobile signal can be patchy

❌ Don’ts

• ❌ Don’t litter—Andaman is ecologically sensitive and strictly monitored
• ❌ Don’t touch coral or marine life during water activities
• ❌ Don’t expect nightlife—this is a nature-centric, slow-paced escape
• ❌ Don’t photograph or interact with Jarawa tribes—it’s illegal and unethical
• ❌ Don’t rely solely on cards—carry some cash for local purchases
