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

Day-by-day Itinerary

1. Day 1: Sanya Arrival

   When you arrive at Sanya Airport, your private guide will pick you up and take you to check in at a resort hotel in Shimei Bay, Wanning — a bay praised by National Geographic as “the most beautiful in Hainan,” known for its meticulously sculpted natural scenery and quieter environment.

   Free Time Idea: Walk barefoot on the soft sand, enjoy a panoramic view of the bay from the cliffs along the coastal road, and explore some small shops selling shell jewelry, bracelets, and more.

2. Day 2: Wanning: Private surfing lesson and coffee factory tour
   Enjoy the surfing experience and participate in the DIY coffee-making activity

   This morning, you will 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.

   The second floor is a coffee-themed children's playground. The main attractions include a pool filled with countless real coffee beans and slides shaped like coffee jars, letting kids learn about coffee while playing.

   

   The third floor is a DIY creative workshop, where you can make sand art with used coffee grounds or create coffee bean bracelets, turning leftover coffee grounds into art.

   After the tour, you'll be taken back to the hotel to rest.

   Important Notes:

   The course lasts about 2 hours, not including the time needed to change clothes before and after the class.

   Beginners must follow the coach's instructions and stretch properly before entering the water to avoid injuries.

   It's recommended to bring sunscreen, long-sleeve sun-protection clothing, or a wetsuit (to prevent sunburn and friction).

3. Day 3: Baoting Li and Miao Cultural Secrets
   Explore Indigenous Minority Culture and Rainforest Discovery

   Today you will leave Wanning and head 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' – Betel Nut Valley Li and Miao Cultural Tourism Area. 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, you'll be taken to your hotel in Sanya for check-in. The hotel we've arranged is right next to the Coconut Dream Corridor. In the evening, you can go on your own 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: Exciting Beach Experience
   Take a VIP speedboat to explore a beautiful island

   After breakfast, transfer to Wuzhizhou Island — one of the most beautiful islands in Hainan province, 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 sun, 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: Atlantis Lost Space Aquarium & Aquaventure Waterpark
   Enjoy an exhilarating water adventure

   The tour guide will take you to Haitang Bay to visit the Lost Chambers Aquarium, home to over 86,000 marine creatures. The aquarium's design is inspired by the mysterious Atlantis that vanished long ago beneath the ocean.

   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 really love the "touch pool," where they can touch starfish. What's more, you also have the opportunity to catch mermaid shows and exciting dolphin and sea lion performances.

   

   In the afternoon, spend some time at the Aquaventure Waterpark, which has a variety of water attractions. If you love thrills, don’t miss the signature rides "Poseidon's Leap" or "Take the Plunge"—these near-vertical slides offer a serious feeling of weightlessness.

   There are also gentler attractions such as the "Lazy River" and "Shark Passage."

   For kids, "Ocean Empire" is another highlight, featuring colorful mini water slides, splash pads, and popular tipping buckets. The water is shallow here (around 0.3 meters), making it very safe for kids to play independently.
