Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Two incredibly stunning locations, Jolly Buoy and Red Skin Island, are tucked away in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an archipelago renowned for its immaculate beaches, glistening waterways, and abundant marine life.
Jolly Buoy: Located in the southern group of the Andaman Islands, Jolly Buoy Island is a part of the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park. It is well known for its breathtaking underwater coral reefs, drawing scuba divers and snorkelers from all over the world. Underwater fans will find heaven on the island, surrounded by shallow, blue seas teaming with colorful species. Swim with exotic marine life, explore the colorful coral gardens, and take in the island's breathtaking natural splendor.
Red Skin: Red Skin Island, another jewel in the Andaman archipelago, is not far away. Similar to Jolly Buoy, it is a feature of the Mahatma Gandhi Aquatic National Park and provides a chance for guests to get up close and personal with the wonders of aquatic life. Adding to the island's attraction is the fact that it was named for the red corals that grow in its seas. Popular activities here include diving and snorkeling, which let visitors see the wide variety of marine life that lives beneath the surface of the ocean.
Red Skin Island and Jolly Buoy are both protected areas, guaranteeing the survival of their fragile ecosystems. These islands offer visitors pristine natural beauty and an opportunity to experience nature at its most untainted. For those who are fortunate enough to tour these unspoiled islands, the vast biodiversity of the marine life combined with the peaceful settings makes for an amazing experience.
Throughout the year, Jolly Buoy and Red Skin operate in alternate months; Jolly Buoy is open from September to May, and Red Skin is open from May to August. Such an alternative mode of operation is required and benefits the islands' fragile ecosystem's flora and wildlife.
