The aquarium spans 30 display tanks themed around the myth of Atlantis, holding over 280 species and approximately 86,000 marine creatures. You move through an immersive viewing tunnel for close views of the underwater world, with interactive experiences woven through the displays. After the aquarium, you'll have Chinese lunch before heading to Sanya Pier.

From the pier, you board a yacht for a cruise along the Sanya coast. En route you'll see Phoenix Island and other local landmarks. Once onboard, water activities are available if you want them (jet skiing, flyboard rides or banana boat excursions), though these cost extra. When you're ready to rest, the yacht offers fruit and drinks while you take in the views from the water.

Your English-speaking guide travels with you throughout the day, and a professional driver handles all transportation. The tour runs 8 to 10 hours total.
