Interview Island Wildlife Sanctuary
Interview Island Wildlife Sanctuary, the largest island sanctuary in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is located about 125 km north of Port Blair near Mayabunder. Established in 1985 primarily to protect around 80-90 feral elephants introduced for logging activities, it now hosts a rich diversity of flora and fauna including semi-evergreen forests, mangroves, and a variety of rare plant and animal species.
The sanctuary is famous for sightings of wild elephants, spotted deer, wild pigs, and numerous bird species, attracting wildlife enthusiasts and ornithologists from around the world. The island features dense tropical forests, hilly terrain, and a soothing tropical climate with hot, humid summers and long monsoons. Visitors can access the island by ferry from Mayabunder, but overnight stays are not allowed and special permission from the forest authorities is required for day visits.
The best time to visit is from November to April when weather conditions are most favorable for trekking, wildlife viewing, and capturing the island’s natural beauty.
