About Ross Island & North Bay

Ross Island (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island) was the British headquarters of Port Blair, today its church, bakery and commissioner's house ruins sit among peacocks and spotted deer. A short boat ride continues to North Bay Island, known for shallow coral gardens, glass-bottom boats and water sports.

We organise the combined day trip from Port Blair with boat tickets, transfers and time for both heritage walks and coral viewing.

On Ross Island, shaded paths lead past colonial ruins, wartime remnants and open lawns where deer and peacocks roam freely. North Bay complements the heritage walk with coral viewing, glass-bottom boats and seasonal water sports in relatively shallow water.

We run this as a smooth half-day or full-day outing from Port Blair harbour, boat tickets, transfers and a paced schedule so you get time for both the ruins and the reef without feeling rushed.
