The Andaman Islands, 177 miles off the coast of Burma in the Bay of Bengal, are the peaks of a submerged mountain range that reappears to the south as the islands of Indonesia.
Despite their relative proximity to South East Asia, the 572 Andaman Islands are administered by India, and for centuries existed in splendid isolation thanks to the less than friendly welcome the small indigenous population gave to passing seafarers.
Today's visitors can expect a far friendlier welcome, and what awaits is one of the world's very finest island destinations, complete with picture perfect and pristine desert island beaches, excellent diving and snorkelling opportunities, untouched jungle, India's only live volcano and the chance to visit - in strictly controlled circumstances - primitive hunter-gatherer tribes. The Andaman Islands are even developing a reputation as a surfing destination with superb reef breaks.
There was something of a lack of good quality accommodation, but thankfully some savvy hoteliers have pitched up in recent year and crafted a handful of boutique hotels on these idyllic shores. We also work with an impressive liveaboard dive boat that is perfect for divers looking to reach further flung dive sites.

I'm emailing you to sing the praises of Neill Gosh who organised the most amazing trip to the Andaman Islands recently.
I know they are part of your team and I also know Tim Simmond personally.
I always think that all your hear, as tour operators, is what went wrong with people's holidays and not enough about what went right!
Neill and I planned this trip more than a year in advance so there was ample opportunity for either of us to lose our cool but it went utterly smoothly from start to finish. I've never met Neill, but he was utterly charming and professional to deal with and I always felt that he understood exactly what I was looking for and came up trumps. We had the most amazingly different and unusual holiday in one of the remotest parts of the world, and a lot of that was thanks to Neill (and my husband who paid!).
