    a) There is an old saw mill (wonder what's touristy about it ) and an island called Jolly Bouy where snorkelling is said to be better than at Havelock. Haven't seen both of them, so can't comment if they are worth the visit.
    b) Yes, Havelock is the main tourist destination in Andamans. Make sure you visit Radha Nagar beach in the evening. The other beach (Kala patthar) is not so great, but still good with literally nobody around there.
    c) Neil Island isn't as good as Havelock, but still worth a visit. It's quite close to Havelock, so you can take a ferry from there.
    d) I stayed in a remote island called Long Island which is one of the least visited islands. It has the most beautiful beach (Lalaji beach) of Andamans, IMO. There is only one resort there (blue planet), which is essentially a group of huts. You can't do camping anywhere in Andaman due to restrictions AFAIK.
    e) No idea about trekking, but heard there is a trekking trail from Blue Planet to Lalaji beach which takes two hours.

    In a four day trip, you can easily cover Port Blair, Havelock and Neil Island. Also, you'd have to consider ferry timings when you hop between islands. Not all islands have daily ferry service.

    I took a bus to return from Long Island to Port Blair which was quite an adventurous journey. It took 6 hours to cover 130 Kms through a thick forest. May be you can try that :P

    Yeah I am trying to see if I can avoid spending 6 hours traveling on a 4 day trip.

    I don't want to spend any time onward in PB. I will spend the evening before leaving. So I want to land and catch the ferry to Havelock.
    So we bulkbooked KF, whose timing works. Now bulb

    You need to have a plan B then. I suggest Tirusoolam-Tiruneermalai-St.Thomas Mt.
