Should we book ferry ticket in advance?
Just like flight tickets, ferry tickets in Andaman are in high demand since it’s the lifeline connecting major islands in Andaman for tourists and therefore are often sold out before the departure date. Last-minute booking will cost more as economical options are sold first or, at worst, you may not get a ferry ticket for the given date which might lead to hotel cancellation. Hotels charge as per refund policy in case you don't get ferry tickets, which might be non-refundable at the last moment. On the other hand, ferry tickets booked once can be rescheduled for a nominal charge compared to hotel cancellations.
