Getting There & Around

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.
  • Bring insect repellent and a headlamp: island paths can get dark and mosquitoes are present in the wet season.
