Select participants and date
The morning light in Sanya feels tropical before you even leave the hotel lobby. A driver meets you at 08:30, doors whisper closed, and the city peels away into coastal highway and then the small harbor where a 20-minute ferry puts you onto Wuzhizhou Islet. The sea here is clear enough to read: layers of turquoise that dare you to step in. Sand underfoot is fine and warm; palms and ferns frame short trails that climb to lookouts with views over coral gardens.

Adventure Tips
Pack reef-safe sunscreen
Coral reefs are fragile—bring biodegradable sunscreen and apply 15 minutes before entering the water.
Bring water shoes
Rocky shore and reef entries are common; lightweight water shoes protect feet while snorkeling or walking tide pools.
Confirm hotel pickup
Pickup is arranged from central Sanya areas; expect a call or hotel message the evening before and be ready 60 minutes before departure.
Reserve quieter times
Weekdays outside Chinese holidays have fewer crowds and better water clarity for snorkeling.
