The experience
You get a private car and driver for 8 hours, starting from your hotel in Sanya Bay, downtown or Yalong Bay. The driver is experienced and the car is in good condition, so the day runs smoothly without the friction of public transport or group timing. Before you depart, a travel consultant talks through what you want to see and how you like to move, whether that's a morning at Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone to see the 108-meter Guanyin statue and eat monastery vegetarian food, or an afternoon at Luhuitou Park riding the eco bus to the top for views of Phoenix Island and the downtown waterfront. The itinerary is yours to shape.
The driver does more than navigate. They suggest which local restaurants are worth stopping for, help you buy tickets at each site so you don't queue alone, and stay with you long enough to answer questions about what you're seeing. Luhuitou Park, the city symbol, has a love legend tied to the Li ethnic group and tropical forest trails that open onto the coast. If you want to try surfing, Queen Bay runs beginner courses with zero experience required. The driver can arrange that too. No shopping stops are forced into the day, no detours to commission-paying shops, and no rush to fit a set itinerary. You move at your pace.
The 150km radius covers the main attractions around Sanya, and the 8-hour window is long enough to see two or three major stops and eat without hurrying. If you need more time or want to go further, overtime and extra kilometers are available at an agreed rate. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for hotels in the free service zones. Hotels outside those areas can be arranged on request. A private English-speaking guide is available if you want deeper context at each stop, though the driver alone is enough for most travelers who want to explore independently.
Is this one for you?Choose this if you want to see Nanshan and Luhuitou Park without following a set schedule or joining a group: the private car and fixed price mean you move at your own pace and decide what matters. The driver's local knowledge and ticket help remove the friction of exploring solo, so you spend the day seeing what you came for instead of figuring out logistics.

Top questions
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What is the 108-meter Guanyin statue at Nanshan, and is it worth the stop?
The Guanyin statue at Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone is the world's largest Guanyin at sea and a major landmark in Hainan, known as the "Treasure of the Island." It sits inside a large park displaying traditional Chinese Buddhist culture, and the site includes a vegetarian restaurant serving monastery buffet dishes, so it works well as a morning or lunch stop on your itinerary.
Can I do a surfing lesson on the same day as the sightseeing?
Yes, Queen Bay offers 3-hour beginner surfing courses and welcomes people with zero experience, so you can add it to your day if you want a close encounter with the ocean. The driver can help arrange the lesson and timing, though the course cost is separate from the car rental.
How does the flexible itinerary work? Do I plan it all before we leave?
A travel consultant talks with you before the trip to understand how you like to travel and what interests you, then you build the itinerary together. You choose the departure time and which stops matter, and the driver suggests authentic restaurants and handles logistics like tickets so you can explore without hassle.
What areas does the hotel pickup cover?
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for hotels in Sanya Bay, downtown Sanya, Yalong Bay and Dadonghai. Hotels outside those zones can be arranged on request, though the pickup location may vary.
Is there a guide who speaks English, or just the driver?
The driver is included with the car rental. A private English-speaking guide is available upon request for an additional fee if you want deeper cultural context at each stop.
What happens if I want to stay longer at one place or skip something?
The itinerary is flexible and yours to adjust during the day. The 8-hour window and 150km radius are your working space, and the driver moves with your interests. Overtime and extra kilometers beyond those limits are charged at an agreed rate, so there are no surprises.
