How to Get to Henry Lawrence Island #

Access is by boat from larger Andaman islands such as Port Blair or Mayabunder. Public ferry schedules to smaller islands are seasonal and sometimes irregular-visitors commonly hire private boats from the main harbors. Check with the Andaman & Nicobar administration for any permit requirements.

Tips for Visiting Henry Lawrence Island #

  • Permits may be required for overnight camping or trekking-check local Andaman & Nicobar administration rules.
  • Boat schedules to smaller islands are often irregular; hiring a private boat from Mayabunder or Port Blair can be more reliable than waiting for public connections.
