Beach holidays and monsoon Andaman are often not compatible. However, Andaman is one location where it is constantly in season.
The monsoon arrives in Andaman around mid-May. You may not be able to go deep sea fishing, but still, you can create nostalgic moments. Most people are discouraged from exploring the islands off-seasonally, given their location and the nature of its attractions (beaches and water sports). This does appear to make sense in earlier times.
Here’s everything you need to understand before you plan your vacation to the Andaman Islands between May and September. The department of tourism promotes the Andaman Islands as a year-round vacation spot.
The majority of Andaman is fully functional even when it rains. You can engage in practically all of the activities that are popular during the summer, except sea hikes and scuba diving. There is a remote possibility that severe rain and choppy seas can occasionally lead to cancellation, but in such circumstances, you can return whenever the weather is clear. If your luck isn’t in, you’ll get a complete refund.
Despite the rain, there are still boat services to islands and tourist destinations like the limestone caverns. In addition, visitors are welcome at nearby sights, including the Samudrika museum and the cellular prison.
Here is a brief list of advantages and disadvantages to help you understand.
Pros
1. There are fewer visitors to the islands.
2. A wide variety of hotel rooms will be accessible.
3. All typical tourist spots will be available.
4. Due to the off-season, packages will be fairly priced.
5. Take advantage of the rainy experience.
Cons

2. You may have to miss a few fishing games.
3. Should the weather change, certain events could be postponed.
4. A sea stroll might not be possible.
5. Treks might become slippery.
6. You’ll always need to carry an umbrella or raincoat.
Wrap up
Though the off-season has pros and cons, your vacation won’t be spoilt. And visiting during the tourist seasons would weigh your wallet, but you can have more fun, like fishing boat trips and charters in Singapore, Japan and other global destinations.
