4-Day Sanya Fishing and Coastal Exploration Tour

• Arrive in Sanya and transfer to the hotel – Free time by the sea

• 5-star seaside hotel

• None

Welcome to tropical Sanya, China's premier coastal paradise! Upon arrival at Sanya Phoenix International Airport, your private driver will greet you and escort you to your luxurious beachfront hotel along Sanya Bay. Recommended options include the Sanya Bay Seaview Sailing Hotel or the voco Sanya Bay – both are five-star resorts with direct access to the golden sands and sweeping ocean views. After settling in, take the afternoon to unwind at your own pace. Lounge by the sparkling outdoor pool, stroll along the gentle shoreline with your toes in the warm sand, or simply relax on your balcony as the sea breeze welcomes you to the island. In the evening, you are free to explore the nearby Coconut Dream Corridor – a scenic coastal promenade lined with coconut palms – or head to the local dining streets for a casual dinner of Hainanese flavors. This is the perfect introduction to the laid-back rhythm of Sanya.

• West Island exploration – Fisherman's alleys – Coral stone houses – Sea library – Niuwang Ridge – Seafood market dinner

• 5-star seaside hotel

• Breakfast

After breakfast, your driver will take you to Xiaoqi Port Pier for a short 20-minute ferry ride to West Island (Xixi Dao) , a pristine islet known for its crystal-clear "glass sea" and authentic fishing-village atmosphere. The island opens at 8:00 AM, giving you a full day to immerse yourself in its charm. Begin by wandering through the ancient Fisherman's Alley, where century-old houses built from coral stone stand as living museums of local heritage. Don't miss the Sea Library – a floating bookshop transformed from an old fishing boat – where you can read while gently rocking on the waves. In the afternoon, take a sightseeing buggy (about 2 km) to Niuwang Ridge, a scenic headland with dramatic reef flats perfect for tide-pooling and photography. You can also enjoy the island's swimming beach or try light water sports. To avoid the last ferry at 7:00 PM, plan to depart around 4:30 PM. Back on the mainland, your evening is dedicated to Sanya's iconic First Market – a bustling seafood bazaar where you pick your own fresh catch (from live lobsters to local clams) and have it cooked to your liking at one of the nearby veteran processing stalls (recommended: Alang Seafood, open 11:00 AM–10:00 PM). It's a feast for the senses and a true taste of island life.

• Private fishing charter – Catch-of-the-day cooking – Dadonghai Beach – Luhuitou Peninsula night panorama

• 5-star seaside hotel

• Breakfast

Today puts you at the heart of the South China Sea. In the morning, set out on a private chartered fishing boat (recommended 4-hour session, 9:00 AM–1:00 PM) with a professional captain and full tackle – bait, rods, and fish-holding gear all included. Even if you are a complete beginner, the captain will guide you through the basics. The morning session offers milder UV rays and calmer seas, increasing your chances of a good catch. Once back at the dock, take your fresh haul to a nearby waterfront restaurant, where they will prepare it just the way you like – steamed, grilled, or in a light soup – for a truly rewarding lunch. In the afternoon, head to Dadonghai Beach, a free and lively public stretch of sand where you can soak up the sun, swim in the gentle surf, or relax under the shade of coconut palms. As dusk approaches, drive up to Luhuitou Peninsula (open until 10:30 PM, free entry). From its clifftop vantage point, you will enjoy a 360° panorama of Sanya's glittering night skyline – a spectacular sight steeped in the local legend of a love-struck young hunter and his deer-turned-maiden. It is the perfect romantic finale to an adventurous day.

• Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park – Dragon Bridge – Glass treetop walk – Yalong Bay beach – Sun Bay coastal drive

• None

• Breakfast

On your final day, discover the lush side of Sanya at the Yalong Bay Tropical Paradise Forest Park (open 8:00 AM–6:00 PM). Walk the famous Dragon Bridge (Guojiang Long Suo Qiao) , a 168-meter suspension bridge featured in the film If You Are the One 2, which sways gently above the rainforest canopy. Then step onto the panoramic glass treetop walk for unobstructed bird's-eye views of Yalong Bay's turquoise waters and emerald hills. After descending, spend time at Yalong Bay Beach, celebrated for its powdery white sand and clear, calm waters – it is often called the "No. 1 Bay under Heaven." In the late afternoon (best between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM), take a scenic drive along Sun Bay Road, a 4-kilometer coastal mountain route that hugs dramatic cliffs with stunning ocean views at every turn. Note that stopping is limited to 3 minutes, so prepare to capture your snapshots quickly. As the sun begins to dip toward the horizon, your Sanya journey concludes with a transfer to the airport or your next destination, carrying with you the warm glow of island memories.
