Transportation

Getting to and around Havelock requires navigating both sea and narrow island roads.

* **Air:** There is no commercial airport on Havelock. The nearest is Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair. A government-operated helipad exists on Havelock, primarily used for medical emergencies or VIP transport. * **Sea:** The island is accessed via sea. Government-operated ferries provide subsidized travel for locals, while a fleet of private, high-speed air-conditioned catamarans (such as Makruzz, Nautika, and Green Ocean) cater heavily to tourists traveling between Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island. * **Local Transit:** The most popular way for visitors to get around is by renting a scooter or motorcycle. For those who do not drive, local auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuks), shared jeeps, and private tourist cabs are readily available. There is also a small fleet of local government buses connecting the main villages.
