Long Island in December
Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India
Go in December — the 4/5 rating reflects reliable clear skies and calm seas ideal for water activities, though book the Forest Rest House months ahead.
Peak crowds
December is one of Long Island's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Peak Nov–Mar for dry season; Jun–Sep monsoon keeps the island nearly empty.
December at Long Island is the version of the offbeat trip that earns the ferry effort. Air 23-29C, water 28C, the directorate of shipping ferry from Yerrata jetty running 3-4 weekly slots through the month. Sea state glass-flat, underwater visibility at Lalaji Bay reef-break a year-best 28-32 metres. Both homestays - Pristine Beach Resort and Blue Planet Backpackers - run at 2,000-3,000 rupees per night, with the Christmas-NY week (December 22 to January 2) carrying a 35 percent premium and 2-week booking lead. The Lalaji Bay dinghy hop runs 6-7 daily slots. No ATM, no Jio/Airtel - BSNL at the jetty only. Carry 18,000 rupees from Port Blair. Daily life: dinghies, reef snorkeling, hammocks.
