Wait… this is China?

Hainan isn't on the global surf map — and that's the point. Clear water, palm-lined points, empty lineups. The waves have always been here.

Our local guides know this coast by heart — swell, wind, tide, and the lesser-known breaks. Come with us, and surf the side of Hainan most travelers never see.

FAQ

Things surfers ask.

Is there a wave pool in China?

Yes — though what you're looking for is properly called a surf pool. PerfectSwell® Hainan is a surf pool engineered for real surfing on ocean-style waves, not a waterpark attraction. It's the world's only surf pool on a tropical island, located in Wanning, Hainan.

Can you surf in China?

Absolutely. Hainan island is China's surf capital — year-round sessions at the PerfectSwell® Surf Pool in Wanning, plus seasonal ocean surfing at nearby Riyue Bay. Most international travelers can enter visa-free for up to 30 days.

Do I need to know how to surf?

No. The pool runs beginner sessions on whitewater and reform waves — you'll be up and riding on your first day with coaching.

What's the minimum age?

Kids' programs start at age 6.

How many waves do I get per session?

It depends on the wave type and your group size — but every 60-minute session gives you plenty of quality waves to work with.

Do I need to bring my own board?

Not required. The on-site surf shop has quality rental boards for every level and every wave type.

Can non-surfers watch?

Yes — comfortable viewing decks, a café, and a clubhouse. Spectators welcome and free.

Can I book just the pool, without a hotel package?

Yes. Standalone session booking is available. Trip packages combine the pool with accommodation, transfers, and support.

Tropical China,
like nothing you'd expect.

Waterfalls, coffee plantations, fire shows, night markets, and empty coastlines. A side of China most travelers never see.

More than a surf pool destination.

Hainan is China's tropical island province — warm year-round, culturally rich, and beautifully undiscovered by international travelers. The surf pool is why you come. Hainan is why you stay longer than you planned.

Xinglong

Hot Springs & Coffee Culture

Just minutes away, Xinglong is known for natural hot springs, lush tropical gardens, and a unique Southeast Asian-influenced cuisine brought by returning overseas Chinese.

Nature

Mountains, Rivers & Coastline

Hainan's interior is mountainous and wild. Rivers carve through palm forests. The coastline alternates between dramatic cliffs and long sandy beaches.

Culture & Food

Night Markets & Local Cuisine

Fresh seafood, tropical fruit, local specialties, chocolate-making experiences, and fire performances. Immersive, delicious, and endlessly photogenic.

For Non-Surfers

Not everyone has to surf.

While the surfer in your group is in the pool, there's a full tropical island to explore. Spa treatments, nature hikes, river excursions, cooking experiences, markets, and the beach club.

We design itineraries where surfers and non-surfers can split during the day and come back together for incredible shared experiences.

FAQ

Trip questions, answered.

Do I need a visa to visit China?

Hainan offers visa-free entry for visitors from 86 countries, most for stays up to 30 days. We'll help you confirm your eligibility during trip planning.

Is it worth flying to China for this?

This is not just a surf pool — it's a full tropical destination trip. PerfectSwell® waves, premium accommodation, unique cultural experiences, and an island most travelers have never explored. Many guests tell us it was their most surprising and memorable surf trip.

What if I don't speak Chinese?

We handle everything in English. Your trip coordinator, airport pickup, and all communications are in English. We're also available via WhatsApp throughout your stay.

What if only one person in our group surfs?

Our packages are designed for exactly this. While the surfer is in the pool, non-surfers can enjoy the hotel pool, beach club, spa, Hainan exploration, or simply relax at the recovery suite.

Can the trip be customized?

Absolutely. Every trip can be tailored to your dates, group size, interests, and budget.

Is it family-friendly?

Very much so. The surf pool offers kid-friendly sessions, the resort is comfortable for families, and Hainan has plenty of activities for all ages.
