Join Kim McCluskey and Worldwide Paddling Adventures for two fantastic new Adventures

Explore the Andaman Islands
January 22 - February 3. The land cost for the trip is $3825. The flight from Delhi out to the Islands and back will cost $570.

The best white sand beaches in Asia, the azure waters of the Bay of Bengal, average temperatures from the low 70s to the high 80s, tribal drums and tropical birds in the background, and 200 species of wildlife found only in these islands – this is your winter vacation in the Andaman Islands, between India and Thailand.

The Andamans are one of the world’s last undiscovered tropical paradises. Before the British first came in 1788, only aboriginal tribesmen lived on the islands. The only other occasional visitors were pirates. Later, the British used the islands as a remote prison for Indian independence fighters. Since independence, the Indian government has strictly limited all outside contact, to protect the tribes. Some tribes are still completely isolated from the outside world. As far as we know, we are the first group ever to get a permit to camp in the outer islands.

This trip starts in a fine hotel in Port Blair for 2 nights. The next five nights are spent camping on remote beaches in secluded lagoons, and concludes in an exquisite eco-friendly resort on Havelock Island, which Time magazine ranked as having the best white sand beaches in Asia in 2004.

The Andamans offer 200 species of wildlife found nowhere else in the world, such as 2 unique parakeet species, the Andamanese pig, civet cats, and geckos. Whales, dolphins and manatees are the most common sea mammals, and there are 255 species of birds. The friendly manatees may swim alongside our kayaks.

We will paddle and snorkel amid white coral reefs, visit aboriginal tribal people, and camp on the beaches of the hilly islands covered in tropical rain forest. This is the first time we have run this trip; join us in February to warm your winter-cold bones in the lush azure Bay of Bengal.
