Havelock Island is located approximately 4 hours from Port Blair by inter-island ferry.

The Barren Island is about 140 km northeast of Port Blair and is about 3 km in diameter. It has a big crater, about 0.5 km from the shore.
I doubt very much that its open to tourists.

Yes you can hire a motorbike or a cycle to go around havelock island. Apart from this local buses & rikshaws are also available.

Reg. Barren Island, tourists are not allowed to land on the island, you can only see it from the boat. Check with this agency
