Tropical maritime climate: warm and humid year-round. Average daytime temperatures around 24–30°C (75–86°F). Heavy rainfall and strong winds in the southwest monsoon (June–September).

Reach Butler Bay via Little Andaman Island. Typical route: take a ferry or passenger ship from Port Blair to Hut Bay (journey time around 3–4 hours depending on service) and then a short taxi/auto-ride or walk to Butler Bay. Seasonal government and private boats operate; schedules can change, so check in Port Blair before travel. Limited road infrastructure on the island—most travel around Hut Bay is by short drives, bicycles or on foot. Mobile connectivity and medical facilities are limited compared with Port Blair.

Plan 1–2 days on Little Andaman to visit Butler Bay comfortably (overnight in Hut Bay) or longer (3–4 days) if you want to surf, join conservation activities, and explore the island's interior.

Light, breathable clothing, sun hat, strong sunscreen, sunglasses, swimwear, lightweight rain jacket (in shoulder seasons), sturdy sandals or walking shoes. For surfing, bring or rent appropriate gear and a wetsuit if advised. Carry a torch/flashlight for evening walks.

Try fresh local seafood and simple island-style meals at Hut Bay guesthouses. Souvenirs are typically locally made handicrafts, shells and small keepsakes; support local vendors and respect regulations about collecting natural items (do not remove shells from turtle nesting sites). Carry sufficient cash (small denominations) as ATMs may be unavailable on Little Andaman.
