About the Destination

Jolly Buoy Island is a breathtakingly beautiful marine destination located within the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park. Famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine white sandy beaches, it is an absolute haven for snorkeling and glass-bottom boat rides. To preserve its fragile ecosystem, the island is a strict no-plastic zone and is closed for visitors for six months of the year, alternating with Red Skin Island. The under-water coral view here is widely regarded as the best in the Andaman archipelago.
