Explore the ocean from a different vantage point-Go Snorkelling and Kayaking in Havelock

Whether you are a diver already or planning to learn how to dive or even if you are signing up for one Try Scuba experience, it is recommended to set aside a day or two to go snorkelling and kayaking in Havelock and explore the sea as a non-diver would.

The Andaman Islands consist of rich marine biodiversity for Snorkeling in Andaman. The seas and oceans are a part of your life even if you live far away from them, in a landlocked city somewhere on the mainland. A visit to the Andamans offers you the chance to get closer to that which covers the majority of the Earth’s surface.

Here are 3 reasons to set aside some time for snorkelling and kayaking in Havelock:

1. While some people may not be able to dive due to medical conditions, fear of being submerged underwater or for any other reason, they might still be able to connect with the waters through a snorkelling or kayaking experience. If you have completed a diving course or single dive programme, then it will be like looking at the reefs and the ocean from a
whole other point of view. kayaking in Andaman offers you an opportunity to freely roam while paddling along the shallow waters close to shore.

2. Snorkelling seems easier to some beginners since you aren’t going underwater and breathing compressed air. You will remain afloat on the surface of the water and breathe normal air through a snorkel and explore the marine life that resides underwater. The snorkelling guides are familiar with the various fish and coral varieties that are found in these waters and will be happy to share as much information as you would like about them.

3. While kayaking, you are above the surface of the water and owing to the clarity of the waters around the islands, able to see a plethora of marine life. Kayaking in these waters is not as challenging as white-water kayaking in the rivers. The movement of the paddle is not too exhausting once the kayaking guides train you with the right techniques. The other exciting thing about kayaking here is the chance to explore not only what resides underwater but the various birds and critters that reside in the mangroves. Night Kayaking Havelock is a unique experience you will ever witness.

Pick a day-long snorkelling expedition or a short session of kayaking and snorkelling depending on the number of days available to you on your Andaman holiday.

Kayaking In The Andamans Islands

Paddle along the mangroves

The pristine waters make it possible to see some exciting life forms found in nature, both underwater and in the mangrove trees, while sitting on a kayak. The kayaking trips go along the edge of the mangroves from where you can see a large variety of birds that inhabit these areas as well as the juvenile of many fish that hide between the roots of the mangrove trees for their protection.

Until the young ones of fish are old enough to defend themselves from predators, they hide out in the shallow waters and can be seen while you paddle along. There is also an option to go on a night kayaking trip wherein you can see specks glowing in the water as you move the paddle caused by bioluminescent plankton. If you manage to look away from this sight and look up, you’ll see a sky full of stars and often even the milky way. Try Night Kayaking in Andaman to witness an unimaginable ocean experience.

It’s a lot easier to go kayaking than you might think. A short training session will teach you everything you need to know before you get started on the trip. You have the option to paddle alone or share a two-person kayak to reduce the effort of using the paddle.
