About Jolly Buoy / Red Skin

Jolly Buoy and Red Skin Islands sit inside the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park near Wandoor. Visitors come for shallow coral gardens, tropical fish and glass-bottom boat rides, plastics and overnight stays are restricted to protect the reef.

We handle day-trip permits, boat tickets and transfers from Port Blair so your marine park visit runs smoothly.

Only one of the two islands is open at a time for reef conservation, so the itinerary may switch between Jolly Buoy and Red Skin depending on the season. Expect clear water, colourful coral, tropical fish and a plastic-free visit, bags and overnight stays are not allowed.

We confirm open-island status before travel, book Wandoor boat tickets early in peak months, and include Port Blair transfers so you simply show up ready for a full marine-park day.
