3.Itineraries

Default Itinerary:Wharf-Phoenix Island-Xiaoqing Islet-Lover’s Bay-Sanya Cape (3h)

The yacht will sail through Phoenix Island, Xiaoqing Islet,Lover’s Bay and finally anchor at the waters of Sanya Cape.The whole journey will take 30min.

There are various water activities travelers can participate at Sanya Cape.

Since it’s the most popular itinerary, during peak season, there will be MANY yachts anchor at Sanya Cape.

Although the fishing and snorkeling are included, due to the crowdedness, I am afraid the experience is not what you expected.

Besides regular itinerary, there are 3 itineraries available at Hongzhou  as below

Option 1: Wharf-40min-East Island-40min-Wharf (3h)

If you want peace and 3-hour yacht rental is good enough, this is for you.

Option 2:Wharf-1h-West Island-1h-Wharf (6h)

This is the only itinerary that passengers can do the shore excursion.

West Island is the largest aboriginal island where fishing men still live on the island.Passengers can get off the yacht ,visit the 400 years old fishing village and its coral houses, check out local market and try authentic sea food dishes.

The waters around West Island is the national level coral reserve area, ,ideal for snorkeling .

Option 3: Wharf-1h-West Island-Nanshan Guanyin-Wharf (9h)

This is the whole day yacht rental itinerary which covers the treasure of Sanya–108m Guanyin Buddha on the sea.

You will stop at West Island, take the shore excursion and enjoy the sea food on the island, then keep sailing to appreciate 108m Nanshan Guanyin Buddha.
