The island has a mix of eerie ruins, lush greenery, and stunning coastal views. It’s not crowded, so you can really take your time soaking it all in.

Activities
Viper Island Jail Tour
Start your day with a visit to the remnants of the old Viper Island Jail, built by the British in the 19th century. This eerie yet fascinating site was used to imprison freedom fighters during India's struggle for independence. The crumbling structures and gallows tell haunting stories of the past.
- Wear comfortable shoes as the terrain is uneven.
- Carry water and a hat—shade is limited.
Coastal Walk and Scenic Views
After the jail tour, take a leisurely walk along the island's coastline. The rocky shores and clear blue waters make for stunning photos. Look out for the old British-era jetty, which is now a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the sea breeze.
- Bring sunscreen—the sun can be intense.
- Keep an eye out for small crabs and seabirds along the rocks.
Local Lunch by the Shore
Head to a small local eatery near the jetty for a simple but delicious meal. Fresh seafood is the highlight here, often caught the same morning. Try the grilled fish or prawn curry with steamed rice, paired with a fresh coconut.
- Ask for the day's catch—it’s usually the freshest option.
- Carry cash; card payments aren’t always accepted.
