About The Attraction

Jolly Buoy is a small coral island in Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park at Wandoor. Being under the control of Forest Department, the number of tourists visiting the island is restricted. It is necessary to get a permit from their Office one day in advance before the trip. These restrictions make many tourists to avoid Jolly Buoy and head towards Havelock. A tourist with the packed itinerary, it was not feasible for me to find out the Forest Office and stand in the queue for the permit. The task was delegated to a travel agent who did this job for a price.When we arrived at Forest Office at Wandoor people were already standing in the queue for the boat. Plastic is strictly prohibited in Jolly Buoy; the bags are checked before boarding the boat. Even bottled water is not allowed. The Forest Department rents water bags (The old styled one we used to use in our childhood). So, we took those bags and stood in the queue.When we arrived at Forest Office at Wandoor people were already standing in the queue for the boat.
