Wandoor Jetty, South Andaman: practical travel guide
Wandoor is a departure area for marine-park boat visits, rather than the regular private-ferry terminal for Havelock or Neil. The South Andaman district’s visitor information identifies boats from Wandoor jetty for the Marine National Park. Confirm which destination is open for your date.

Check the open destination and permissions
Do not assume Jolly Buoy and Red Skin are both open or served on your chosen day. Ask the authorised organising team to confirm the destination, boat, permit requirements and any closure before you travel to Wandoor.
Check exactly what the quotation includes: transport to Wandoor, boat transfer, entry or permit charges, and optional activities. A ferry-only or boat-only headline price may exclude land transport.
Choose the matching service: Existing Jolly Buoy boat information Jolly Buoy travel checklist Check Jolly Buoy boat availability
Plan the road journey from Port Blair
Arrange a vehicle to the meeting point specified by the boat operator. The road transfer to Wandoor is separate from a Haddo or Aberdeen departure. Work backwards from the reporting time and allow for check-in.
Confirm return pickup and a contact method before boarding. Avoid a tight same-day inter-island connection after a marine-park visit unless both timings and the road transfer have been reviewed.

Prepare for a regulated marine-park visit
Follow the current park and crew instructions on baggage, food, plastics, waste and permitted activities. Do not touch or collect coral or disturb marine life. Ask about the latest restrictions rather than relying on an old trip report.
Check boarding assistance and weather-related cancellation arrangements before paying. The private island-ferry search and cancellation card on this page do not issue or govern a marine-park excursion.

Prepare for a marine-park morning
Confirm the authorised boat and open destination before arranging the road transfer. The Forest Department identifies authorised operators for Jolly Buoy and Red Skin visits; the excursion organiser should explain the applicable permission and reporting process.
Carry only what the current park rules permit and arrange a way to take your waste back. Confirm drinking-water and food arrangements before leaving the hotel. Share the return pickup plan with your driver because the land journey is a separate part of the day.

Wandoor Jetty, South Andaman FAQs
Practical answers to help you plan, book and board with confidence.
Can I use Wandoor to board a Makruzz ferry to Havelock?
Use the terminal on your Makruzz ticket, normally Haddo for that private island journey. Wandoor marine-park boats are a different service.
Can I turn up at Wandoor and assume a Jolly Buoy boat is available?
No. Confirm the open destination, permission requirements and boat availability first. Seasonal access and operational conditions can change the available outing.
