The tour is led by Tom who is a great guide. He is also fluent in English, so communication was no problem. The tour is private and intime, so it was no touristy experience! We met Tom at the pick-up point and got one scooter each. It was great driving between the Hainan mountains and among mango, papaya and coconut trees, and also dragonfruit plantages. We got to se a whole different part of Hainan. We drove to Tom's hikingspot where we walked along the river. The hike was somewhat challenging, so prepare for activity. There were no other tourist, but we met som local people bathing in and grilling by the river. This tour was our highlight on Hainan. I would gladly recommend Tom and his tour to anyone!

The experience is definitely worth having.. for the view of the Yalong bay from the Rope Bridge ans glass walk. The Magic theatre was not working, though we had not been informed of that while geting tickets. The ticket prices are quite expensive, more than 350 yuan if one includes the rope bridge and the glass walk. I think going by tour bus might make ticket prices less. But the overall cost might be more! We took the bus no 25 from Sanya Bay and it cost just 5 yuan. But travel time was a hour and quarter. While returning be careful as the last bus leaves around 6.30 or so. But we got a cab. Slightly more expensive but much much faster. Cost us about 80 yuan. And we shared the cost with anither couple. So a nice experience overall despite the crippling language and lack of google hassles.

I was informed at the last minute that the tour would be cancelled due to no driver availability. I ended up booking the same tour with the hotel plus a great few additions which included Atlantis Hotel and ended up paying half the price!

This tour turned out to be nothing like described. Half day? No, we were gone from 8:00 AM until 7:00 PM. Snorkeling? No. Don't speak Chinese? Forget about it. This link (apparently) goes to a tour arranger, not the tour provider. Despite the confirmation back from Trip Advisor, the tour arranger contacted us almost two weeks after we made the reservations to say that the tour was full (or no snorkeling that day, or some excuse -- we heard many excuses along the way). We settled for the next morning... But see the rest of the story below. Pros: - We ended up after lunch at a fairly nice beach area with lots of activities (archery, hammocks, boogie board surfing, etc.). But I hesitate to list this as a "pro" because that's not what I booked. Still, I try to roll with the punches, and we made the best of a tragic situation. Cons: - It took at least 8 emails and three phone calls to finally get this set up. First, we couldn't be accommodated on the desired day. Then the island isn't good. Then the afternoon isn't good. Then we had to speak Chinese, so they cancelled the tour. (I retorted that one of us does speak Chinese - and we were back on.) We had to call several times to finally confirm the pickup time. - Two hour transfer from the hotel to the first stop. Inefficiency in routing the pickups was the primary reason. It should have taken 30 minutes direct, an hour with a few stops to get other people. - When we arrived at the dock, the driver told us to mill around and we would be rounded up. No indication of where or what time to meet. So we ended up with our fellow passengers kind of hanging out as a group until someone found us and took us to the dock. (How they found us is a mystery. "Look for the 12 people who are totally clueless.") - Went to the area where it appeared we'd depart via boat to go snorkeling. But two hours later (one hour of it spent listening to miscellaneous and all but useless information), we still had no idea when or where we were to go and snorkel. And the staff kept saying, in essence, "Soon!" (We noticed one group going off to snorkel, and inquired. "You're next. The boat can't hold everyone, so we make two trips." There never was a second trip. Come to think of it, I don't recall ever seeing the people on the first snorkeling trip come back...) - After waiting, and waiting (and playing in the water a bit while waiting), we were told to get on the bus to go to lunch. We were assured we'd snorkel after lunch. ("Uh, this is supposed to be a half-day tour, and we expected to be back at the hotel around noon." Response: "After lunch.") - Lunch. Afterward we were told to follow one of the guides (it was implied) to go snorkeling. Nope. Ended up at a boogie board surfing area. "Sorry, no snorkeling." (This despite the fact we could see several boats out around the not-so-distant islands where diving and snorkeling were occurring.) - Early evening returned to the dock and had no instructions on where to go or where to meet the ride back. We ended up calling the tour arranger, and 10 minutes later the van arrived. His facilitator was pissed that we called. ("We just simply asked where to meet the van." Response: "You make me look bad!" Well, if you had done your job...) - Late return. Dark descended, and we finally got back to the hotel at 7:00 PM. So much for our late afternoon reservations we had! - Excuses, excuses. I contacted Viator, and they passed me off to the tour arranger. The tour arranger used the excuse that it was too rough in the afternoon to go snorkeling. Uh, this was supposed to be a half-day tour? And it was supposed to be snorkeling in the morning. And why did others go snorkeling in the morning, and why could we see others snorkeling in the afternoon? - And a special shout-out to the Viator folks. They passed the buck and didn't take responsibility for the tour they fronted. I think I'll find another way to book things in the future. In short, this tour description is false. It's an arranger, not a tour. Wrong length, not delivered as described. Obfuscation from the tour people, and no desire to make right.

An absolute must if you have time very interesting especially the way the statue is built on the sea! A lot of opportunity to eat ,take a train to go around not expensive take certainly your time you can stay a whole day. the parc around is beautiful to walk and enjoy.

Best way to travel on Hainan is on scooters. I made one mistake.. I should have done this trip ASAP.
