Your island story
starts with us.
About Us: We're not a travel agency that books and forgets. We're planners, coordinators, advisors, and on-ground support — all in one. Our guests don't manage logistics. They experience islands.
Island Travel Is Different.
It Asks for a Different Kind of Preparation.
Gallivanting Tours is a destination management company based in the Andaman Islands. We exist because planning an island holiday requires more than booking a hotel and a ferry — it requires someone who understands the tides, knows the operators, watches the weather, and anticipates the questions you haven't thought to ask yet.
We are not a travel agency in the conventional sense. We are planners, coordinators, advisors, and on-ground support — all in one. Our guests don't manage logistics. They experience islands.
That is why we don't offer one-size-fits-all itineraries. We sit down with you, understand what matters to you, and build a journey around that — your pace, your interests, your budget. Not a template. Not a brochure.

Great Vacations Made Easy.
Zero Stress. All Fun.
Planning a trip shouldn't feel like a second job. We believe the perfect island getaway should be simple to book, easy on your wallet, and completely tailored to how you want to travel.
Your Trip, Your Way
Forget cookie-cutter packages. We customize your itinerary around what you actually want to do, so you never pay for activities you don't care about.
Go at Your Own Pace
Want to sleep in and lounge on the beach all day? Or is action-packed island-hopping more your style? You choose the speed, and we'll make it happen.
Perfect for Every Occasion
Whether it's a fun family vacation, a romantic couple's getaway, or a big group trip, we design the schedule around your crew's exact needs.
We Do the Heavy Lifting
Skip the booking headaches and endless research. We handle the logistics and details so you can just show up, relax, and enjoy the ride.
We Take the Hassle Out of Andaman Trip Planning.
Planning a trip to the Andaman Islands is exciting, but organizing the logistics on your own can quickly get overwhelming. Between ferry schedules, island transfers, and unpredictable weather, there are a lot of moving parts. That is where we come in — browse our Andaman tour packages to see how we put it all together.
Guaranteed Ferry Bookings
Getting between islands requires ferries that book up fast and run on strict schedules. We know the most reliable operators and book the best timings so you never get stranded.
Seamless, Door-to-Door Transfers
From airport pickups to jetty transfers and hotel drop-offs, we coordinate every single ride. If one leg of your trip is delayed, we've already got a backup plan ready.
Weather-Ready Itineraries
Island weather can change quickly. Because we are local experts, we know how to adjust your schedule on the fly so you don't miss out on the fun.
Tried-and-Tested Hotels
Don't rely on filtered online photos. We only recommend Andaman hotels and resorts that we know are clean, comfortable, and actually worth your money.
The Best Local Guides & Activities
Whether you want to try scuba diving or charter a boat, we connect you with trusted, certified local guides who offer safe, high-quality Andaman experiences.
24/7 Support While You Travel
If a flight is delayed or you need to make a quick change to your day, you don't have to stress. We are just a phone call or WhatsApp message away—ready to help you instantly.
The Gallivanting Promises
These aren't just nice words on a page. They are the daily promises we make to you—and the standards we hold ourselves to so you get the perfect vacation every single time.
Custom Trips, Not Cookie-Cutter Templates
We don't force you into pre-packaged tours. We listen to what you want and build a vacation that fits your style and your budget.
No Wasted Vacation Time
Your vacation days are precious. We design schedules that maximize your fun and minimize time spent waiting around.
We Keep You in the Loop
You'll never have to chase us for updates. From booking confirmations to ferry timings, we reach out to you first so you always know what's happening.
Quick Backups for Unpredictable Weather
While we can't control the weather, we always have a Plan B. If a rainy day disrupts your plans, we'll quickly swap things around so you don't lose out.
Honest Advice over a Quick Sale
If an activity is overhyped, a beach is too crowded, or a hotel isn't worth the money, we'll tell you upfront before you spend a dime.
Hotels We Actually Trust
We recommend hotels based on cleanliness, great service, and good value—never because they pay us a commission to send you there.
Stress-Free from Start to Finish
Island travel can be confusing, but we handle all the tricky logistics. All you have to do is show up and enjoy.
Peace of Mind is Included
The ultimate holiday is one where you don't have to worry about a thing. We take care of the details so you can truly relax.
People Always Come Before Rules
We treat you like a person, not a booking number. If something unexpected comes up, we work with you to find a fair solution instead of hiding behind strict fine print.
No Excuses. Just Solutions.
Island weather and ferry schedules can be unpredictable—that is just part of the adventure. But while we can't control the elements, we can promise that we will never keep you in the dark.
We Call You First
If a ferry schedule changes or weather affects your day, you'll hear it from us immediately—not when you're already standing in line at the jetty.
We Bring Solutions, Not Problems
We don't just call to tell you an activity is canceled. We call with a great alternative already lined up so your day doesn't go to waste.
Your Trust is Our Top Priority
If we find out a hotel we booked for you has a sudden issue (like construction noise or a closed pool), we won't wait for you to complain. We will contact you right away to move you to an equal or better place.
Vacations You'll Never Forget
At the end of the day, you won't remember every single detail of your schedule—but you will remember how much fun you had. We don't just book rooms and tickets; we plan our trips around the kind of vacation experience you actually want to have.

For the thrill-seekers who want to explore, dive, and see something new.

And the memories you bring home with you.
A Real Person in Your Corner.
No Call Centers. No Bots.
From the minute you land to the moment you head home, you've got a real person looking out for you. Forget waiting on hold with a call center, chatting with a computer bot, or standing in long lines at a ticket counter.
Your Go-To Contact
You'll deal with the same friendly expert from start to finish. You don't have to repeat your story to five different people; they'll already know exactly who you are and what you need.
Updates Before You Have to Ask
We don't make you chase down info. If there's a change to a ferry timing or a weather update, your assistant will text you first so you're always prepared.
The Best Local Inside Scoops
Skip the tourist traps. Your assistant will share the best local spots to eat, the cleanest beaches, and the most fun activities that you won't find in standard guidebooks.
Instant Help If Plans Change
If a flight gets delayed or you decide you want to swap a beach day for a sightseeing tour, your assistant will handle the changes on the spot.
Quick, Honest Advice
If you ever need to make a quick decision on the go—like choosing between two different boat tours—your assistant will give you straight, honest advice so you can choose confidently.
Vacations Should Feel Like a Break,
Not a Marathon.
A great vacation shouldn't feel like a race. A lot of tour agencies try to pack fifteen different stops into five days, leaving you more exhausted at the end of your trip than when you started.
❌ Packed-Tour Exhaustion
- Too many stops: Trying to squeeze in 18 checklist attractions in 5 days.
- Constantly rushing: Rushing past beautiful views just to catch the next ferry.
- Always stressed: Sticking to a rigid, exhausting schedule.
✅ The Gallivanting Way
- The best highlights: Visiting the top spots that are actually worth your time.
- A relaxing pace: Enough time to sleep in, swim, and actually enjoy the beach.
- True relaxation: Having a smooth, stress-free trip where you can actually unwind.
From Start to Finish, We've Got You Covered
A great vacation starts long before you board the plane and lasts long after you return home. Here is exactly how we make sure your trip is smooth, stress-free, and easy every step of the way.
All the Prep Work Done
While you pack your bags, we do the heavy lifting. We double-check your hotel bookings, secure your ferry tickets, and send you a simple, clear itinerary.
A Friendly Face Waiting
As soon as you walk out of the airport, a friendly local guide will be waiting to welcome you and take you straight to your ride. No haggling, just a warm welcome.
We Run the Show Behind the Scenes
You enjoy your holiday while we handle the logistics. If the weather changes, a ferry time shifts, or you simply want to sleep in, just WhatsApp your assistant.
Stress-Free Departure
We make sure your final hotel check-out and airport transfers are perfectly timed. You won't have to worry about missing your flight or rushing to the airport.

Everything You're Wondering About Us
Straightforward answers about who we are, how we work, and what to expect when you book your Andaman trip with a local travel expert.
Why should I book my Andaman trip with Gallivanting Tours?
We are a local Andaman travel company, not a call centre reselling packages. We know the ferry schedules, the weather patterns, and the operators worth trusting, and we build every itinerary around how you actually want to travel.
Is Gallivanting Tours actually based in the Andaman Islands?
Yes. We are a destination management company based in Port Blair, with on-ground teams across Havelock, Neil, and Port Blair, so support is always close by during your trip.
Can you customise our Andaman itinerary?
Yes. Every trip is built around your pace, budget, and interests instead of a fixed template. We adjust the schedule, the hotels, and the activities to match what you actually want to do.
Do you provide support after the booking is confirmed?
Yes. You get a dedicated point of contact from booking through to departure, with WhatsApp support during your trip for ferry changes, weather updates, or last-minute plans.
Do you arrange hotels and ferry tickets?
Yes. We book inter-island ferries with reliable operators and only recommend hotels we have personally vetted for cleanliness, service, and genuine value.
Do you plan honeymoon trips to Andaman?
Yes. We design romantic, relaxed itineraries for couples, balancing quiet beach time with the experiences that make a honeymoon memorable.
Can you plan a family holiday with kids?
Yes. We build family-friendly schedules with a comfortable pace, kid-appropriate activities, and hotels suited to travelling with children.
Is local assistance available throughout the trip?
Yes. A real local assistant is available by phone or WhatsApp throughout your stay, so you are never relying on a distant call centre.
What happens if the weather affects our plans?
Island weather can be unpredictable, so we always keep a backup plan ready and call you first with an alternative rather than leaving you to figure it out on your own.
Do you organise scuba diving and water activities?
Yes. We connect you with certified, trusted local operators for scuba diving, snorkelling, and boat charters, prioritising safety and quality over the cheapest option.
Can you plan trips for large groups?
Yes. We regularly coordinate group travel, from ferry seats to hotel blocks to activity bookings, keeping everyone's schedule aligned without the usual back-and-forth.
How far in advance should I book my Andaman trip?
We recommend planning at least a few weeks ahead, since ferries and popular hotels fill up quickly, especially during peak season.
Do you charge extra for planning a custom itinerary?
Getting a custom itinerary from us is free. We only recommend hotels and experiences based on genuine value, never on which one pays the highest commission.
