A guide to fishing around Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) in the Ritchie's Archipelago.
Havelock and Neil are the Andaman Islands' most famous holiday destinations — but beneath their turquoise lagoons lies excellent fishing.
Havelock (Swaraj Dweep)
Strong currents between the islands create edges for GT, wahoo and tuna, with reef species on the structure.
Neil (Shaheed Dweep)
Quieter, with coral gardens and ledges perfect for light tackle and micro jigging.
Getting There
Both are reached by private charter from Port Blair — around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on conditions.
Fishing and Holidays
Combine a serious fishing day with a beach holiday. Non-anglers can enjoy the scenery and snorkelling.
