Sanya International Pier Departure · 4-Hour Sightseeing & Fishing Tour
Set sail from Sanya International Pier and embark on a sea journey full of surprises. As the boat slowly leaves the harbour, a refreshing sea breeze greets you. The city's noise fades away, and the wide-open sea unfolds before your eyes.
The first landmark to come into view is Phoenix Island, Sanya's iconic architecture. Its futuristic, shell-shaped buildings rise from the sea, glistening in the sunlight—every snapshot looks like a film scene. Continuing onward, you'll see the famous Luhuitou Scenic Area (Deer Turning Head) with its distinct mountain silhouette. The legendary love storey of a Li youth and a deer girl adds a romantic touch to this bay.
Further out at sea, look into the distance and spot West Island and East Island. These two small islets are like emeralds set in turquoise waters, dotted with fishing boats and soaring seabirds. Next comes the Coconut Dream Corridor along Sanya Bay, stretching for several kilometres—rows of coconut trees sway in the breeze against a backdrop of silver-white sand, creating a perfect coastal painting. Then you'll pass Lovers' Bay, Xiaodonghai, and Dadonghai. Each bay has its own charm: some quiet and intimate, others lively and expansive, with seawater shifting from light green to deep blue—a true feast for the eyes.
After about an hour, the fishing boat anchors in a fish‑rich area. Here, the water depth is just right and the currents gentle—an ideal natural fishing ground. The captain will explain the basics: how to bait the hook, how to cast, and how to feel the subtle tug of a fish biting. First‑timers need not worry at all—the captain and crew are always nearby to help, and one‑on‑one instruction is available anytime.
Now it's time to fish! Drop your line and wait patiently. Soon, the rod tip trembles slightly—set the hook! You've got a catch! Whether it's a lively little grouper, a gleaming silver sea bream, or a powerful amberjack, every bite brings surprise and excitement. If you have any questions along the way, just ask the captain—he'll gladly share his years of experience.
Best of all, any fish you catch is yours to keep! Take it home to share with family and friends,. Caught and cooked immediately, with nothing more than ginger, scallions, and a pinch of salt. The milky‑white broth and incredibly tender fish—every spoonful is the pure taste of the ocean.
This 4‑hour journey combines scenery, skill, reward, and delicious food. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just a traveller who wants to feel the sea breeze and try your hand at being a “fisherman” for a day, this route will not disappoint.
