Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival at Agatti and transfer to Bangaram Island for a private, romantic island stay — gentle-paced afternoon with snorkeling and a candlelit beach dinner to start your honeymoon.
Arrival at Agatti Aerodrome & speedboat transfer to Bangaram Island
Land at Agatti and board the scheduled speedboat/launch to Bangaram (scenic crossing across lagoons). Luggage handled by island staff; enjoy first views of the Bangaram lagoon.
Tips from local experts:
- Hold hands on the boat deck — the turquoise lagoon looks best from the bow; bring a light windbreaker (sea breeze in Feb can be cool).
- Carry passports/ID and resort booking confirmations in an easy-to-reach pouch for the boat check-in desk.
- Request the earliest available boat to maximize afternoon light on arrival; confirm transfer time with your resort the day before.
Check in to your private island accommodation on Bangaram
Settle into a beachfront or lagoon-facing room; quick refresh and orientation with staff who can arrange private moments and activities for your stay.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the front desk to set up a welcome amenity (champagne, flowers) in your room for an intimate surprise.
- Request a sunset-facing room or a room with a private deck to make evening moments and early-morning views special.
- Confirm dinner preferences and any dietary needs now — resorts often craft personalized candlelight dinners if informed in advance.
Welcome lagoon lunch — fresh local seafood or vegetarian fare
Relax over a leisurely lunch served with lagoon views — perfect first meal to orient to island time.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a shaded table by the water; the light breeze and sound of waves make even simple meals feel romantic.
- Try a local coconut-based fish curry or a grilled fish special — and ask for a mildly spiced option if you prefer gentle flavors.
- Reserve a private table if you want more intimacy — resorts can often seat couples away from the main dining area.
Introductory snorkeling session in Bangaram lagoon
Guided snorkel near shallow reefs — easy and romantic coral encounters close to shore (great first introduction to the lagoon life).
Tips from local experts:
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard for comfort — hold hands while drifting slowly to enjoy fish life together.
- Ask your guide for a shallow 'couple's circuit' near the lagoon reef where fish and corals are abundant and calm.
- If either of you is new to snorkeling, request a private instructor session for quiet, unhurried guidance.
Sunset walk on the beach — golden-hour photo moment
Slow beach walk together at golden hour; a photographer or the resort can capture a few candid shots for you.
Tips from local experts:
- Plan this walk about 30–45 minutes before official sunset (Feb sunsets ~18:00) so you catch the full color change.
- Bring a light shawl or wrap for photos — evening breeze cools quickly after sunset.
- Ask the resort to prepare a small rosé or sparkling water picnic on the sand for a private toast as the sun sets.
Candlelight beach dinner arranged by the resort
A private, romantic candlelit dinner on the beach — set menu of fresh island seafood, local flavors or personalized choices for couples.
Tips from local experts:
- Request the table to be set slightly apart from the main dining area for maximum privacy and request live acoustic music if available.
- Confirm a light desert and a mocktail/cocktail pairing – many resorts will craft a special 'honeymoon platter'.
- Ask for torches or subtle lighting that won’t attract sandflies; bring insect repellent wipes just in case.
Day 2
Full day of underwater adventures and private moments — scuba or advanced snorkeling in the morning, a sandbank picnic, a couples’ spa, and a sunset cruise.
Morning scuba dive (optional) or guided advanced snorkel
For certified divers: a morning dive at a nearby coral garden. For non-certified guests: an accompanied boat snorkel to deeper reef spots rich with fish and corals.
Tips from local experts:
- If you both plan to dive, bring certification cards and notify the dive centre at check-in; for beginners, book a confined-water try-dive in advance.
- Choose the earlier slot for calmer seas and better visibility — it's also quieter and more private.
- Keep your cameras in waterproof housings or request resort/guide photos — underwater photos make great keepsakes.
Leisure brunch and mid-day break
Slow brunch back at the resort; relax on your deck or in a shaded cabana to escape midday sun.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a fruit-heavy brunch to rehydrate after morning activity — fresh island fruits are delicious and refreshing.
- Nap together in a hammock or book a short power nap service if the resort offers it to feel recharged for the afternoon.
- Keep sunscreen and a water bottle handy — reapply before any afternoon water activities.
Sandbank picnic & private lagoon swim (special moment)
Boat ride to a nearby sandbank for a secluded picnic, swimming and private time on a pristine white patch of sand surrounded by the lagoon.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the resort to pack a soft blanket, shady umbrella and a chilled cooler with sparkling water or a special mocktail for two.
- Bring a lightweight waterproof speaker for gentle music; keep volume low to preserve the quiet and privacy.
- Protect electronics in zip-locks and request the guide to anchor in a shallow spot so you can safely float together.
Couples' spa — traditional island massage & relaxation
A calming spa treatment for two (massage, aromatic therapy) to unwind after water activities.
Tips from local experts:
- Book the couple's suite for privacy and request a light aromatherapy oil (coconut or lemongrass) for a tropical feel.
- Schedule the spa as golden-hour lead-in — it helps you both relax before the evening cruise.
- If you are sensitive to scents, request unscented oils or a patch test; spas on small islands may have limited product choices.
Sunset cruise around the lagoon (special moment)
Private or small-group sunset cruise with light snacks and beverages — a romantic way to watch the sun dip across the lagoon.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a small private boat for just the two of you (or an early departure to avoid crowds) and bring a light wrap for the cool breeze.
- Bring a compact binocular or telephoto lens for close-up views of seabirds and distant islets during golden hour.
- Ask the crew to time the cruise to end just after sunset so you have a brief twilight moment on return for stargazing.
Dinner at the resort — relaxed seafood or custom menu
After a full day, dine at a relaxed beachfront restaurant; request a private corner table if you'd like a quieter evening.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a candlelit table on the verandah rather than the main dining hall for more intimacy.
- Share multiple small plates to taste a variety of local preparations — it's a lovely way to connect over food.
- Request a dessert with a personal touch (e.g., 'Happy Honeymoon' plating) to make the night memorable.
Day 3
Transfer to Kadmat Island for long sandy beaches and private shoreline time — paddle, snorkel, a golden-hour beach moment and a quiet stargazing dinner.
Morning speedboat transfer from Bangaram to Kadmat Island
Scenic inter-island transfer to Kadmat — known for long white sand beaches and excellent snorkeling close to shore.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit on the lee side of the boat for calmer views and better photo light; keep a small daypack with essentials for check-in.
- Confirm luggage tagging and transfer timing with island staff the evening before to ensure a smooth move.
- Bring lightweight shoes for stepping off the boat onto sand or gangway — some landings are shallow and sandy.
Check-in to Kadmat accommodation and settle in
Quick check-in and orientation; choose a beach-facing room or a cottage closer to the shoreline for privacy.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a room on a quieter stretch of the beach; the far ends of Kadmat’s beach are often more private.
- Request a late checkout or luggage hold if your return transfer is later in the day to maximize beach time.
- Inquire about private dining on the beach for your final Kadmat evening — many small properties accommodate special requests.
Leisure lunch at Kadmat — simple coastal fare
Enjoy a relaxed island lunch featuring coconut-based curries, grilled fish and fresh salads.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose dishes with fresh lime and coconut — they pair beautifully with beachside breezes.
- Ask staff to recommend the catch-of-the-day and request milder spice if you prefer subtle flavors.
- Share plates so you can try more local items without committing to large portions.
Afternoon beach time: paddleboarding and shallow-water snorkeling
Long sandy beach stroll, paddleboard together along the reef edge, or snorkel near shore where turtles and colorful fish are often seen.
Tips from local experts:
- Rent a paddleboard or kayak and take turns — calm afternoons are perfect for gentle paddling together.
- Look for seagrass beds where you can often spot turtles; ask a local guide for the best and respectful viewing spots.
- Bring polarized sunglasses for viewing fish from the shore and a waterproof pouch for your phone for candid photos.
Golden-hour beach moment — sandbar or shoreline photos
Set aside golden hour for a private walk to a sandbar or a quiet stretch of Kadmat beach; great for photos and quiet reflection together.
Tips from local experts:
- Coordinate with the resort to suggest the best nearby sandbar that’s safe at low tide for evening walks.
- Bring a light blanket and a small lantern for a cozy sit-down while the sky changes color.
- Capture a few silhouette photos against the sunset — ask your guide or use a timer for candid couple shots.
Quiet seafood dinner & stargazing on the shore
Enjoy a relaxed dinner with the sound of waves; after dinner, lie back on the sand for island stargazing (minimal light pollution).
Tips from local experts:
- Request tables away from any lighting to enjoy darker skies; bring a lightweight blanket for stargazing together.
- Ask staff for locally made herbal teas or warm coconut milk as a comforting nightcap.
- If possible, time your dinner after a low-tide walk so you can stroll the beach and then settle to watch the stars.
Day 4
A relaxed final morning in Kadmat with a sunrise beach breakfast, transfer back to Agatti for a short island stroll and departure — gentle pacing to savor last moments together.
Sunrise private beach breakfast (special moment)
Early private breakfast set on the beach — watch the sunrise together and enjoy fresh island fruits and breads.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrange this the night before and ask for a quiet corner of the beach so you have a private sunrise moment.
- Bring a light jacket for the cool sunrise breeze and request extra hot tea or coffee to keep warm.
- Have the resort pack a small takeaway snack if your return boat departs before a full lunch service.
Transfer by speedboat back to Agatti Aerodrome
Boat transfer to Agatti for flights home; allow time for check-in and any last-minute local shopping on Agatti.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm the boat timing with your accommodation the evening before and arrive 15 minutes early for a smooth boarding.
- Keep souvenirs, passports and boarding passes in an accessible pouch for quick check-in on Agatti.
- If you have a late flight, ask about luggage storage so you can take a final island walk on Agatti before departure.
Short Agatti island stroll & light lunch
A calm stroll to soak up your final island vibes, pick up a small keepsake, and enjoy a casual island lunch before heading to the airport.
Tips from local experts:
- Visit a small local stall (on Agatti) for handmade shell souvenirs — choose lightweight pieces for easy packing.
- Try a light local lunch — a simple fish thali or coconut-based vegetable curry — but keep it mild to avoid upsetting your stomach before travel.
- Walk an easy coastal path together for one last lagoon view; avoid long distances if you have flight-timed constraints.
Final transfer to Agatti Aerodrome — departure
Check-in for your flight home with wonderful memories — leave room for one last shared photo at the aerodrome viewing edge.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive at least 60–90 minutes before domestic flight departure; island transfers and security can take longer than on the mainland.
- Keep boarding passes and ID ready; take one last photo together at the aerodrome window with the lagoon behind you.
- If possible, book flights in the afternoon to avoid rushed early morning transfers; otherwise confirm an earlier boat the day prior.
