Neil Island to Havelock Ferry: practical travel guide
Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) is the reverse of the usual Havelock-to-Neil island circuit. Search this exact direction and date before fixing your Havelock stay. If no sailing is returned, AWT can help review an alternative island order or a properly timed connection; an opposite-direction timetable is not a return ticket.

Check the reverse island connection before reserving rooms
Neil-to-Havelock reverses the more commonly planned Havelock-to-Neil circuit. An operator serving both islands does not prove it offers this direction on your date. Search Shaheed Dweep to Swaraj Dweep and read the actual itinerary.
If no direct sailing is available, do not assume a same-day trip via Port Blair will work. That plan can require two tickets, a terminal transfer and enough time between check-in deadlines. Compare changing island order or adding an overnight stop before committing.

Compare operators for this direction
Use the same date, passenger ages and route when comparing Makruzz, Nautika, Green Ocean and ITT Majestic. An operator guide explains the fleet and classes; it does not establish that the service runs in this direction every day. The available result and confirmed ticket identify the vessel and itinerary.
Review cabin photographs, seat categories and the arrival time alongside the fare. A preferred brand or open deck is useful only when the dated sailing fits the rest of the journey. Keep the booking with AWT for passenger assistance and access to your confirmed ticket.

Ferry timings, journey duration and ticket price
Do not reverse a Havelock-to-Neil departure time to estimate this trip. Check the actual Neil departure and Havelock arrival. A connection via Port Blair can take much longer and may require an overnight stay if reporting deadlines do not align.
Choose the travel date to see available fares and classes. Review the complete payable amount, including any disclosed port fee, fuel charge or seasonal addition, before payment. For two separate sectors, add both ticket totals and any transfer or overnight-stay cost.
The first and last ferry depend on the dated service pattern. If search shows no suitable result, contact the AWT ferry team to check alternatives before paying for non-refundable accommodation. We do not publish an unverified daily timetable for this direction.

Confirm destination and transfer instructions at Neil
Check that the first ticket goes to the destination you expect. A Neil-to-Port Blair ticket is not a Neil-to-Havelock ticket even if both islands appear on an operator’s route map.
For an explicitly confirmed connection, keep both tickets and allow enough time for luggage handling and the next reporting deadline. Independent sailings may not wait for one another. Ask AWT to review the plan if the booking engine does not offer the journey as intended.

Avoid an inflexible Havelock arrival commitment
Give your Havelock hotel the confirmed arrival, not an estimated time copied from the opposite direction. Keep first-day sightseeing flexible until the route is settled.
If a connection needs a Port Blair overnight stay, adjust accommodation and pickups on all three islands. Choosing the usual Havelock-first circuit can sometimes remove that extra transfer, but compare real availability before changing your plan.

Passenger details, luggage and booking confirmation
Enter every traveller, including infants, with names and ages matching accepted identity documents. Check the date, direction, vessel and class on the review screen. Seat selection depends on the operator’s supported layout; use the final allocation on the issued ticket.
Follow the ticket’s reporting deadline and baggage allowance. Keep medicines, valuables, identity documents and an offline ticket copy in your hand baggage. Ask AWT in advance about mobility assistance, large luggage or seating needs.
After payment verification and operator confirmation, keep the ticket and PNR accessible in your customer account and email. Read the applicable cancellation terms before payment. Start an eligible cancellation from your AWT booking; an alternative sailing depends on availability and any fare difference.

Government ferry alternative
Government tickets follow the separate DSS/STARS booking process and are not sold through the private ferry search above. Check the released sailing, passenger category, identification and boarding terminal. Our government guide explains that process and links to the official booking service.

Neil Island to Havelock Ferry FAQs
Practical answers to help you plan, book and board with confidence.
Does a Havelock-to-Neil timetable prove there is a Neil-to-Havelock return?
No. Direction matters. Search the exact reverse route and date. If nothing is offered, request a verified alternative instead of assuming a direct return or a same-day Port Blair connection.
How much is a Neil Island to Havelock ferry ticket?
The amount depends on the date, operator, vessel, class and whether more than one sector is needed. Search your date and review the complete payable total. A fare for the opposite direction or only one connecting leg is not the full price of your journey.
Where do I board for Neil Island to Havelock?
Use Neil Island’s passenger jetty and the terminal instructions on the confirmed ticket. Check that the destination is Havelock, not Port Blair, unless you have deliberately booked and confirmed a separate connection.
Can I book this ferry and manage the ticket on AWT?
Yes, choose an available supported private sailing in the AWT search, review the fare and passenger details, then complete checkout. Your ticket is issued after payment verification and operator confirmation. If the direction is not offered for your date, ask AWT to review alternatives.
What if no direct Neil-to-Havelock sailing is available?
For a proposed journey via Port Blair, have both departures, terminals, luggage arrangements and reporting deadlines confirmed. Two separate tickets do not guarantee onward carriage after a delay.
