White Surf Waterfall,Andaman
White Surf Waterfall is a small but picturesque cascade in the Andaman Islands valued primarily for its natural beauty and rainforest setting. It showcases the islands' lush tropical ecosystems—mangroves, evergreen forests and freshwater streams—and contributes to local biodiversity.

Best Time to Visit
October to April is generally the best period for visiting—streams are clear and the weather is drier. If you prefer a stronger flow and more dramatic foam, the late monsoon to early post-monsoon (August–October) may show the falls at their fullest, but access can be trickier.
Weather Conditions
Tropical maritime climate: expect warm, humid conditions year-round. Temperatures typically range from 24°C to 30°C. Monsoon months (June–September) bring heavy rain and slippery trails.
Accessibility
Access usually involves travel from Port Blair (Veer Savarkar International Airport) by passenger ferry or local boat to the nearest inhabited island, then a short road transfer and walking trail to the falls. Some islands may require inter-island ferry bookings and local transport arrangements. Check for any restricted-access zones or permit requirements before travel—areas near tribal reserves may have limits on movement.
Recommended Duration
Half-day to full-day depending on the travel time from your base island and whether you combine the visit with other nearby attractions.
Clothing & Gear Tips
Light, quick-dry clothing; sturdy closed-toe shoes or trail sandals with good grip; swimwear if you plan to wade; waterproof jacket or poncho in monsoon season; hat and sunscreen; insect repellent.
Local Food & Souvenirs
Try local Andaman seafood specialties and coconut-based dishes at nearby island eateries. Souvenirs commonly include handmade shell and coral-inspired jewelry, coconut craftwork and locally produced spices—avoid collecting live corals or protected species.
