The Barren Island Volcano Day Trip takes you deep into the Andaman Sea to witness India’s only active volcano. Located around 140 km from Port Blair, this rare experience offers close-range volcanic sightseeing from a government-approved vessel.
This is not a regular island tour. You don’t land on the island — you experience it from the sea, watching black ash beaches, lava formations, and the volcanic cone in complete isolation. A true once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
