About Baratang Island
Baratang is a full-day trip from Port Blair, usually done by road plus a boat ride through mangrove creeks. It's less about beaches and more about the journey — dense mangrove tunnels leading up to the limestone caves and (when accessible) an active mud volcano.
Things to do
- Limestone Caves — reached by a short mangrove-creek boat ride, then a walking trail
- Mud Volcano — a natural bubbling mud formation (access depends on season and road conditions)
- Parrot Island — mangrove islet known for large flocks of parrots at dusk
- The mangrove creek boat ride itself, often the highlight of the day
