The Andaman Islands are an Indian archipelago in the Bay of Bengal. These roughly 300 islands are known for their palm-lined, white-sand beaches, mangroves, and tropical rain forests. Coral reefs supporting marine life such as sharks and rays make for popular diving and snorkelling sites. Indigenous Andaman Islanders inhabit the more remote islands, many of which are off limits to visitors.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands are promoted as ecotourism destinations. The major activities currently present in the islands are scuba diving, sea walking, parasailing, kayaking, game fishing, semi-submarine, glass bottom boat rides, and night cruising.
