    The local ferries from the Port Blair jetty run every 30 45 minutes, so you can catch one right after you finish your taxi hop. The trip takes about 30 minutes, and the boats are family friendly. Once on Sanket Island, the calm shallow reef is perfect for kids to try snorkeling with a mask and fins just make sure to bring a life jacket for the little ones. If you’re staying nearby, Sea Shell Coral Cove is a popular choice for families and has good reviews.
