Select participants and date
The motor hum of an air-conditioned van dissolves into salt air and gull calls as you step onto the ferry pier for Wuzhizhou Islet. In twenty minutes the shoreline peels away and the South China Sea widens; water the color of green glass dares you to dive in. On arrival the islet lays out two contrasting invitations—soft, white sand that invites barefoot wandering, and a small inland world of dense tropical growth that holds trees older than many coastal resorts.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens harm coral—use a mineral-based, reef-safe formula and reapply frequently.
Wear water shoes
Shallow reef and coral rubble make walking uncomfortable; water shoes protect feet and improve grip.
Book morning snorkel slots
Currents strengthen in the afternoon—plan snorkeling for the morning for calmer water and better visibility.
Confirm pickup zone
Hotels in Sanya Bay, Dadonghai, or Yalong Bay avoid extra transfer fees—confirm your pickup area when booking.
