Home > Activities > Barren Island Expedition
Chartered exclusively for your group, the boat carries just 1 to 8 guests, making this a wonderfully private way to experience the Andaman Sea. As Havelock fades into the distance, the journey itself becomes part of the adventure—open ocean, changing shades of blue, and the anticipation of seeing a volcanic island rise from the sea.
As you approach Barren Island, the landscape changes completely. Dark volcanic slopes meet the deep blue ocean, creating a striking contrast to the lush tropical beauty of Havelock. The volcano is best experienced from the water, where you can take in its dramatic form and the extraordinary sense of remoteness that makes Barren Island so special.
This is not a quick sightseeing excursion. It is a long-range ocean adventure, with the boat, crew, and fuel dedicated to taking you deep into the Andaman Sea and bringing you safely back to Havelock. That distance is also what makes the experience so rare.
A Day on the Open Sea
Your Barren Island expedition includes:
- Private boat charter for 1 to 8 guests
- Return journey from Havelock Island to Barren Island
- Breakfast on board
- Lunch on board
- Refreshments during the journey
- On-board toilet
- Dedicated crew and boat for your group
Gather your family, friends or a small group of fellow adventurers and make a day of it. With the entire boat chartered for your group, there is plenty of space to settle in, enjoy the sea, and take in one of the Andamans’ most unusual natural wonders at your own pace.
Why Barren Island?
Because very few travel experiences allow you to say, “I sailed across the open sea to see an active volcano.”
The journey is long. The charter is premium. And the experience is unlike anything else you can do from Havelock.
If your idea of an island holiday goes beyond beaches and sunsets, Barren Island belongs on your list.
