personal touch in making sure your experiences go just beyond excursions!

Marcus despite no options made sure he arranged something for us in our meagre budget. We did the Long Island excursion on a shared charter and absolutely loved it. The crew's knowledge about the territorial waters and flexibility was awesome!

Highlight of my trip to the Andamans!

I went with Untamed Waters for snorkeling around South Button Island, and it was the highlight of my trip to the Andamans! The boat ride was incredibly comfortable, and they made sure we had plenty of refreshments. Safety briefing was detailed and the snorkeling was out of this world.

Everything was perfectly organized

From spotting dolphins in the open sea to snorkeling at three stunning spots with vibrant reefs, every moment was magical. The crystal-clear waters and breathtaking scenery made this trip unforgettable.
