About the Destination
Barren Island is home to South Asia's only active volcano. The island is uninhabited and has a stark, dramatic landscape of black volcanic soil and basalt rock. While tourists are not allowed to step foot on the island, chartered boat trips are available from Havelock or Port Blair to sail close to the island. Seeing smoke billow from the volcanic crater against the blue sky is an unforgettable experience.
