Day 1 Arrival:
Your guide will meet you at the airport and check you into your hotel in Haikou. You will have your first meal together in the evening, during which you can learn about the upcoming tour.
(Dinner and hotel included)
Day 2 Haikou to Wenchang:
Departing from your hotel in Haikou early in the morning we cycle over the rolling hills, through farmland and small towns on route to Wenchang town. By the road side you will see small honey farms, colourful plant nurseries and you can take a diversion through a banana plantation. After a rest in your hotel room and dinner, walk around this Hwachow (overseas Chinese) town and learn about its unique history.
(Lunch, dinner and hotel included)
Day 3 Coconut Plantations and Secluded Bays:
Just south of Wenchang Town you will take a short ferry trip to the coconut plantation peninsula. The roads here are flat and a mixture of tarmac and dirt sections. These are perfect for cruising on your bike.
The winding roads will take you through a unique rural community. Here the local people make the most of the coconuts. Some villagers weave the palm leaves into organic panels that are used for informal structures that houses chickens or wood piles. Others process, largely by hand, the different parts of the coconut. You can see people splitting the coconuts with hand tools one by one, slowly working through enormous piles of thousands of coconuts.
The pace of life is very laid back, you are likely to see many locals relaxing with friends in hammocks slung between the trees.
Further east you will explore an outstanding coastal area boasting secluded bays and massive, unusual rock formations. You can swim on your own private beach and perhaps snorkel depending on the weather.
You will stay in a hotel next to the beach and can taste some local fresh seafood.
(Breakfast, lunch, dinner and hotel included)
Day 4 Head Inland to the Stunning Mountainous Centre:
Putting the ocean behind for a few days, we cycle inland to the spectacular mountainous centre of Hainan Island. The distance is quite large so the support vehicle will probably transport you some of the way to your destination, Wuzhishan Town.
That night explore this mountain town which is the capital of the central area.
(Breakfast, lunch, dinner and hotel included)
Day 5 Rural mountain road with excellent views:
Hit the road from Wuzhishan town to the base of Wuzhishan Mountain. This is one of the most beautiful roads in Hainan and is an ethnic minority region. Expect to see dramatic river gorges, tropical farmland, waterfalls, thick jungle, and local minority people about their daily business.
Wuzhishan Mountain (1867 meters) the highest peak on the island. After arriving at your hotel for lunch, the rest of the day is yours to relax and enjoy the mountain scenery, or take a hike through the rainforest of Wuzhishan Mountain, observing the fauna and flora.
(Breakfast, lunch, dinner and hotel included)
Day 6 Morning Relaxation and Optional Rafting:
This morning is free for you to relax and give your legs a rest. If your looking for more thrills you have the option to go rafting down Wuzhishan River (add 20 USD).

(Breakfast, lunch, dinner and hotel included)
Day 7 Wuzhishan to Hot-springs:
Cruise down the twisting 9 km drop from Wuzhishan town towards Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County (The Li and Miao are the 2 largest minority groups in Hainan). You will see evidence of local minorities in Baoting Town’s architecture.
Cycle 10km past Baoting Town and we will arrive near the base of Seven Fairy Mountain. The road has little traffic and is in excellent condition.

We arrive at our hotel and you can relax and soak in a landscaped outdoor hot-spring pool fed from the natural mountains springs.
