Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park protects a group of 15 islands and the coral reefs, mangroves and creeks around them off the south west coast of South Andaman. Boats leave from the jetty at Wandoor for Jolly Buoy or Red Skin Island, where glass bottom boat rides and snorkelling show the reef and its fish. Only one of the two islands is usually open to visitors at a time, so check which is running before you go. Wandoor Beach, beside the jetty, makes an easy add on while you wait for the boat.
- How to Reach: Drive or take a bus from Port Blair to Wandoor, then join the park boat from the Wandoor jetty. Entry permits for the park are issued by the forest department.
