Neil Island Cab Service
Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) has four main tourist stops worth covering and all of them sit within a 10 km radius of the jetty. You can do the entire sightseeing in a private cab over two short half days, leaving the rest of your time for the beaches.
Cabs on Neil are limited compared to Port Blair, so we recommend booking your Neil Island cab a few days before your ferry. Walk-in rates at the jetty are higher and vehicles run out quickly during peak season.
Here is what we cover in a typical Neil sightseeing tour by cab:
- Bharatpur beach, about a mile from the town centre
- Laxmanpur beach and Natural Bridge (Howrah Bridge), north of the town centre
- Sitapur beach (sunrise point), south of the town centre
- Neil Island Jetty and Neil Island market

Important Points to Note For Your Neil Island Tour
- The cab is private and not shared with anyone else.
- Tour starts after you arrive at Neil Island Jetty. Pickup and drop is point to point only.
- You can halt the cab on the way for photos but try to avoid longer waiting at one spot.
- If your luggage is excessive, an extra cab at the same charge will be needed.
- All parking, entry and permit charges are already paid by Dekho Andaman.
- Driver will brief you about every place on the route and drop you back at the hotel after each day’s tour.
- Resorts at Laxmanpur or Sitapur are 5 to 8 km from the jetty, so the jetty pickup cost is slightly higher than for town centre hotels.

Places We Cover on a Neil Island Cab Tour
Bharatpur Beach sits right next to the jetty. White sand, shallow blue water and the main spot for glass bottom boat rides, snorkelling and jet ski on Neil. Most travellers stop here first because it is the closest to the ferry point.
Laxmanpur Beach is on the western side, around 3 km from town. This is the sunset beach of Neil. The shore is wide and the water is calm enough to walk into. Try to reach by 4.30 pm to catch the full sunset.
Natural Bridge (also called Howrah Bridge) is a rock formation carved by the sea, sitting at the far end of Laxmanpur 2. The bridge is only visible during low tide so we plan the cab timing around the tide chart on the day of your visit. Wear sandals you do not mind getting wet, the walk is over coral and rock.
Sitapur Beach is the sunrise point, about 5 km south of the town. The drive runs through paddy fields and tiny village roads. If you are an early riser, we can do a 5.00 am pickup so you reach Sitapur before the sun is up.
Neil Island market is small but worth a half hour stop for the local fruits, fresh fish counters and small tea shops. Drivers know the right shacks for breakfast.
Nearby Trips from Neil Island
If you have an extra half day on Neil, two options are worth adding to the cab booking:
Glass Bottom Boat Ride at Bharatpur
Price: Rs 1000 per person
Duration: 30 to 45 minutes
You stay near the shore and see the reef life through the glass floor of the boat. Good option for travellers who do not want to get into the water but still want to see the corals.
Neil to Havelock or Port Blair Ferry
We can also arrange the jetty drop and Makruzz or Nautika ferry booking if you are continuing your trip to Havelock or Port Blair. The cab from your Neil resort to the jetty is charged at the same town centre or Sitapur rate listed above.
