Just to supplement Zain's answer, Agatti is connected by air and cruise from mainland - only from Kochi. Besides Agatti, there are also other beautiful islands in Lakshadweep namely Minicoy, Kavarati, Kelpeni, Kadmat, Bangaram which are open for tourists. All these islands are inter-connected by cruise among themselves but selectively by helicopter services.
