📝 Description
Rutland Island offers a rare opportunity to experience the raw, unspoiled beauty of the Andamans. Surrounded by vivid coral gardens, the island is ideal for underwater exploration. Its marine life is rich and diverse — including reef sharks, groupers, clownfish, and sometimes even sea turtles. The water is exceptionally clear, providing incredible visibility for snorkelers and divers.
The island itself features lush tropical vegetation, quiet coves, and long stretches of untouched beaches. One of the most famous is Bada Balu, a pristine beach known for its calm surf and scenic beauty. There are no luxury resorts or cafes here — which is exactly what makes it special. It's an escape into silence, stars, and sea breezes.
Rutland is also ecologically significant, once used as a training ground for the Indian Navy. It is home to a few indigenous communities, and care is taken to ensure that tourism remains low-impact. Since the island is uninhabited for tourists, it’s generally visited on a day trip from Port Blair by boat or as part of customized eco-tours.
