Sanya Private Tour: 6-Day Surf, Coffee DIY & Minority Culture Experience

Day-by-day Itinerary

1. Day 1: Sanya Arrival

   After you land at Sanya's international airport, your private guide will take you to a resort hotel in Shimei Bay, Wanning City. Recognized by National Geographic as 'the most beautiful bay‘ in Hainan, this bay features quiet surroundings and pristine natural scenery.

   Advice for your free time: Stroll barefoot along the soft, sandy beach; admire the panoramic views of the bay from the cliffs along the coastal road; and browse the shops selling seashell jewelry, bracelets, and other little souvenirs.

2. Day 2: Wanning Experiences
   Enjoy the surfing experience and participate in the DIY coffee-making activity

   This morning, participate in a surfing course specially arranged for you. The course uses a 1-on-3 teaching format, led by a professional coach, and includes a pre-surf theory briefing and basic skills training.

   You would learn how to adapt to the board's movement, stand steady on the surfboard, observe the waves, and analyze the direction of the wave peaks.

   

   After lunch, visit the Coffee Dream Factory — often regarded as China's second-largest coffee experience center, with 3 floors in total.

   On the first floor, you can watch coffee beans travel through cool glass tubes for roasting and taste different flavors of coffee.

   Head up to the second floor and find a coffee-themed play area designed specifically for children. The biggest highlight here is a pool filled with countless real coffee beans and a slide shaped like a coffee can. Children really enjoy themselves while learning about the origins and roasting process of coffee.

   

   Next, visit the DIY Creative Workshop on the third floor. Try your hand at creating sand art using discarded coffee grounds or weaving bracelets made from coffee beans — turning coffee grounds into works of art. Isn’t that both eco-friendly and meaningful?

   After this delightful experience with your kids, you will be taken back to your hotel to rest.

   Please Note:

   The surfing course lasts approximately 2 hours, excluding the time needed to change before and after the session.

   Beginners must follow the instructor's guidance and stretch thoroughly before entering the water to avoid injury.

   We recommend bringing sun cream, long-sleeved sun-protective clothing, or a wetsuit (to prevent sunburn and chafing).

3. Day 3: Wanning to Sanya
   Explore indigenous minority culture and rainforest views

   Today you will leave Wanning and move to Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County, nestled in China's prime tropical rainforest belt at 18 degrees north latitude.

   Here, your tour guide will take you to visit the 'Living Fossil of Hainan Ethnic Culture' — Binglanggu Li and Miao Cultural Heritage Park. It's the country's first 5A-level ethnic culture-themed scenic spot, where you can experience the most authentic Li and Miao customs.

   Sitting in our specially arranged VIP seats, you'll enjoy an exciting live musical performance that vividly recreates the daily life of ancient Li people and how they start a fire by drilling wood.

   Afterwards, take an electric cart around the park; you might see the last generation of Li elders with facial tattoos, known as 'Dunhuang murals engraved on the human body.'

   Watch local women sitting at ancient machines, weaving colorful Li brocade using plant dyes.

   

   After the tour, transfer you to a hotel in Sanya for check-in. The hotel we've arranged is right next to the Coconut Dream Corridor. In the evening, feel free to enjoy the stunning sunset over the sea.

   Optional Activity: Try traditional plant dyeing yourself and make a tie-dye souvenir to take home as a souvenir.

4. Day 4: Wuzhizhou Island Exploration
   Take a VIP speedboat to explore a beautiful island

   Wuzhizhou Island is one of the most beautiful islands on Hainan and is known as the “Maldives of China.”

   Take an exciting VIP speedboat to the island and enjoy your leisure time. From Sunrise Rock (Guanri Rock), you can overlook the entire jelly-like sea and watch the spectacular waves crashing against the rocks. Lie on the white sandy beach and soak up the sunlight, maybe take a little nap.

   For thrill-seekers, a variety of optional adventures are available, including surfing, snorkeling, high-speed jet boating, banana boat rides, and parasailing. Please note that these activities are subject to weather conditions.

   

   Tips for the Trip:

   The island offers a buffet lunch, but the restaurant isn’t very fancy.

   Your guide will go with you onto the island and be available to assist you at any time.

5. Day 5: Sanya's Atlantis Fun
   Enjoy an exhilarating water adventure

   Today, your tour guide will take you to Haitang Bay to visit the Lost Chambers Aquarium, home to more than 86,000 marine species. Its design was inspired by the mysterious city of Atlantis, which sank to the bottom of the ocean in ancient times.

   Through a transparent dome that’s as tall as eight stories, you can watch whale sharks, belugas, manta rays, and more swim right above your head.

   You’ll also see all kinds of graceful jellyfish, sea turtles, and rare fish you’ve probably never seen before. Every step you take reveals a new and fascinating marine species—like opening a surprise box.

   Kids absolutely love the “Touch Pool” because they can touch cute marine life, such as starfish. You can also enjoy spectacular mermaid shows, as well as dolphin and sea lion performances.

   

   In the afternoon, head over to Aquaventure Waterpark, where you can find a variety of water attractions. If you’re looking for thrills, don’t miss the iconic “Poseidon’s Leap” or “Take the Plunge” — these nearly vertical slides deliver an intense sensation of weightlessness.

   There are also gentler attractions, such as the “Lazy River” and “Shark Passage.” (the “Lazy River” and “Shark Passage.”)

   For children, “Ocean Empire” is another highlight, featuring colorful small water slides, wading pools, and the popular tipping buckets. The water here is shallow (about 0.3 meters), making it ideal for children to play independently since it’s very safe.

6. Day 6: Sanya Departure

   Enjoy a pleasant morning. After breakfast, take in the beautiful beach scenery and breathe in the fresh air. If you have more free time before departure, why not take a swim in the ocean or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the beach? Both are perfect ways to relax.

   Depending on your flight schedule, your private driver will be waiting for you in the hotel lobby to take you to the airport for your departure.

   Your trip to Sanya has come to a perfect conclusion. Wish you a pleasant journey and look forward to welcoming you back again!
