Water Sports in Andaman: Jet Ski, Snorkelling and Sea Walk
Water sports are a big reason travellers choose the Andamans. Calm bays and clear water make it easy to try new things, even for beginners.
Popular activities
- Jet ski. A fast ride across the bay, usually with an operator seated behind you.
- Speed boat ride. A quick, thrilling spin around the bay.
- Banana boat and other tube rides. Fun for groups and families.
- Parasailing. A short flight above the water, offered in some locations.
- Sea walk. Walk on the sea floor wearing a special helmet. You do not need to swim.
- Snorkelling. Float above coral and tropical fish, especially at Elephant Beach.
- Glass-bottom boat. See coral without getting wet.
- Kayaking. Calm mangrove paddles, often in the early morning.
