Confirm the itinerary you are buying
The Baratang stop is a sightseeing break within the longer journey. Follow the excursion meeting point and reboarding instructions so your visit fits the onward sailing.
Before payment, confirm the local boat, cave visit, entry arrangements, baggage handling and final package price. Timings and inclusions must match your dated booking.
Choose a direct crossing for an earlier hotel arrival, or this stopover itinerary to combine sightseeing with the transfer. Neil Island can be a separate onward sector after your Havelock stay; do not assume it is included in the same cruise ticket.

Sea itinerary versus Middle Strait crossing
The Middle Strait–Baratang vehicle-ferry link listed by DSS is part of a road journey. It is not a high-speed sea transfer from Port Blair to Havelock. Confirm the meeting point, transport mode and ticket issuer so the two products are not confused.
A road trip can involve separate access and timing requirements. Ask AWT to review the complete land itinerary and current official instructions instead of combining unrelated departure estimates.

Keep the full booking reviewable
Before payment, obtain the dated itinerary, all boarding points, intermediate activities, baggage arrangement, cancellation terms and final amount. Confirm the fallback if weather or operational conditions change.
For a through trip to Havelock, notify the hotel of the confirmed arrival. For a Baratang-only trip, confirm the return or onward land transfer; do not assume the same ferry can take you back that evening.
Port Blair to Havelock via Baratang FAQs
Practical answers to help you plan, book and board with confidence.
Is the via-Baratang fare directly comparable with a standard Havelock transfer?
Compare the full itinerary and sightseeing inclusions, not just the ferry fare. A Baratang stopover uses more of the day than a direct crossing. Ask AWT for the departure, onward sailing and total package price for your date.
Continue your ferry booking with AWT
Explore our ferry guidance and compare available tickets here. Your issued ticket supplies the final boarding instructions.
For a government inter-island journey, check the announced booking window and availability for non-islanders. A vessel’s total capacity is not the number of tourist seats available. With fixed holiday dates, compare confirmed private options early rather than relying on a last-minute government ticket; the guide below explains the planning choices.
