Overview
For travellers who dislike packing every other morning. Most nights are spent in one place, with half-day outings rather than long tours. It works well for a family trip or a restful break.
Island conditions can shift plans, so the days are described as a flexible frame. See also the seven-night circuit if you want to include a Baratang excursion.

- Route
- Port Blair > Havelock Island > Neil Island > Port Blair
