Recommendation
I would recommend atleast 10 days for Andaman. Its not a sight seeing trip. One has to experience Andaman to enjoy it. Spend 3-4 days at Govt. resort on Neil island, another 3-4 days at Radhanagar beach, a day at Jolly Buoy (supposedly the best place for snorkeling) and a day for Port Blair local sight seeing. The three island tour and the Barantang tour are the most popular (read throngs of crowds), highly over-rated and can be completely skipped. If you have more days throw in the rarely visited Baratang's Parrot Island, Mayabunder and Rangit. Cinque Island is definitely the poster boy of Andaman tourism. It probably needs some special permissions and a lot of logistic hassles to reach. But if you reach it, you have seen the heaven.
