2 Days in Long Island for a Relaxing Solo Trip
Long Island is a hidden gem in the Andamans, perfect for solo travelers who want peace, stunning beaches, and a slow pace. I’ve spent time here just soaking in the quiet, walking barefoot on empty shores, and watching the sun paint the sky at sunset. It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind and connect with nature without the crowds.

Day 2
Long Island Local Life
A day to soak in the slower pace of Long Island, with a mix of nature, village life, and local flavors.
Activities
Village Walk & Interaction
Start your day with a stroll through the quaint villages of Long Island. The island has a handful of small settlements where you can see traditional Nicobari huts and chat with friendly locals. The village near the jetty is particularly welcoming, with kids playing and fishermen mending nets. It’s a great way to understand the simple, off-grid lifestyle here.
- Carry small change if you want to buy handmade items like coconut shell crafts.
- Ask before taking photos—locals are friendly but appreciate the courtesy.
Kayaking in the Mangroves
Head to the mangrove creeks on the eastern side of the island for a serene kayaking experience. The still waters and dense mangroves are home to crabs, birds, and sometimes even monitor lizards. You can rent a kayak from local operators near the jetty—it’s one of the best ways to see the island’s quieter, wilder side.
- Wear light, quick-dry clothes—you might get splashed.
- Go with a guide if you’re new to kayaking; they’ll point out wildlife.
Sunset at Guitar Island
Take a short boat ride (about 20 minutes) to the tiny, uninhabited Guitar Island, named for its shape. The beach here is pristine, with powdery white sand and shallow waters perfect for a swim. Pack a picnic and stay for the sunset—it’s one of the most peaceful spots in the Andamans.
- Carry water and snacks—there are no shops on the island.
- Negotiate boat prices in advance; group trips are cheaper.
