Since rubber is one of the most significant cultivations on the islands, there are many spots that one can visit to see how the manufacturing process unfolds. The rubber plantation in Wandoor is one of the most scenic places and the largest in Andaman, with an area of about 931 hectare. It has around ten thousand trees and lies in the South Andaman region. As one enters, one can see thousands of golden rubber sheets and collecting jars fitted on each tree. A guided tour offers information on the process of converting raw rubber into sheets. The process called tapping involves the collection of rubber from trees. The rubber is then rolled into sheets through manual rollers. The whole procedure is indeed very fascinating.

The Fisheries Museum lies in close proximity to the Rajiv Gandhi Water Sports complex and is one of the most popular attractions in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Taking pictures is prohibited inside the museum. The museum is located at a distance of about 9 km from Port Blair. It was partially destroyed in the tsunami but has been rebuilt since. 

Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in swamps and have adapted to the saltwater environment. These are abundantly found in Andaman. The Dhani Nallah Mangrove Nature Walk in Andaman is located around 20 km from Rangat, an island in Middle Andaman. It has a long wooden walkway that meanders through the mangrove creek so that tourists can enjoy the biodiversity of nature here. It finally leads to a beautiful long beach called the Dhani Nallah, popular for turtle nesting, especially for Olive Ridley turtles. Yerrata, about 8 km from Rangat, also has luxuriant mangrove creeks perfect for eco tourism. To create awareness about mangroves, the Department of Environment and Forests has established a Mangrove Interpretation Centre, which has attractive display panels depicting various species of mangroves found on these islands. A mangrove view watchtower has also been set up to provide a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
