Full-day private experience
Overview
The Uncharted Day brings together the best of the islands in one seamless, private day. It begins on the water, with a licensed private boat carrying you along quiet coastlines towards approved islands and viewpoints, and slows down for swimming or snorkelling where it is permitted. In the afternoon, you return to land for a local food experience with a host who shares the flavours and stories of island cooking.
Because it is private, the day bends around you. Your host balances boat time and shore time with the tide, the weather and your energy, adding a short shoreline walk or a quiet beach when the moment is right. It is our most complete single-day introduction to a different Andaman.
A typical Uncharted Day starts early from the South Andaman coast, when the sea is calmest and the light is soft. The morning belongs to the water: a private boat, quiet coastlines and, where permits allow, a visit to an island such as the Cinque Islands. Lunch brings the islands' food culture to the table, with coconut, seafood and seasonal fruit, and the afternoon leaves time for a gentle shoreline walk at low tide or a final swim before an easy return as the day cools.
Like all our signature collections, The Uncharted Day is planned as one seamless experience rather than a bundle of separate tickets. A single host coordinates timings, transfers, permits and meals, so you can stay present instead of watching the clock. We keep the group private or small, build in breathing space between moments and adjust the order of the day to the tide, the light and your energy. If one element cannot run because of weather, access rules or a host's availability, we replace it with a thoughtful alternative of similar spirit, and we tell you in advance.
What's Included
The Uncharted Day draws on these experiences from our collection, combined and paced for your group.
Best For
Couples, families and private groups.
The Uncharted Day is designed for couples, families and private groups who want a seamless, well-paced experience with a dedicated host.
Permissions & Availability
The Uncharted Day is subject to permissions, sea conditions and host availability. The sample flow may change on the day to suit the tide, weather, access rules and our hosts.
We confirm every element a day or two before you travel and keep you informed if plans need to change. Safety, local rules and our hosts' wishes always come first.
Responsible Travel
The Uncharted Day follows our responsible travel promise. We keep groups small, use established routes and permitted locations, pay hosts fairly and leave every place as we found it. We never promise wildlife sightings, and we never market, visit or photograph the islands' indigenous communities, whose privacy and protected status we fully respect.
Please carry a refillable bottle, use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral or wildlife and ask before photographing people.
