The dog days of summer are here! While it seems sitting directly under the aircon is the only way forward, a great way to cool off is getting wet! Check out a few of our top picks for water activities this summer.
Rent a Boat
Leave the scorching sands behind and watch the coast disappear as you and your friends and family spend a day at sea.
The prices range by company, and boats can be rented for three hours at a time. Luxury yachts for up to 10 people can be rented for as little as RMB1,500 for three hours, and larger catamarans perfect for a party crew start at RMB2,200.
Time slots:
9am-noon (cooler weather, good for relaxing and swimming)
Noon-3pm (hot, good for swimming and sunbathing)
3pm-6pm (warm, good for partying and swimming)
6pm-9pm (cooler, beautiful sunset, relaxing)
Expats should bring their passports and locals need their Chinese ID. Due to measures for Covid-19, a mask must be worn to the marina and a green health code flashed to enter. No need to fret though, you can take off your mask once aboard the vessel. Rentals include fishing poles, fruit platters, mineral water, sodas, snorkeling gear and life jackets. There are bathrooms onboard and you can bring your own food, snacks and tunes.
Available Boating Routes:
Sail along the coastline to Cape Sanya
Visit East or West Island, Xiaodong Bay
Open sea route
Visit the Guanyin Buddha (6 hours)
