Prices for kayak rental are 300 for a single kayak and 450 yuan for a double. This gives you the kayak for the day, and you’ll be free to paddle around Xi Xiu beach/Holiday beach area. If you’ve paddled out to the large ships, then you’ve gone too far!

Anyone can give it a try providing you can swim and children need to be atleast 6 years old.
The club also offers coaching from a 20-minute introductory session to professional training courses. At present courses are only in Chinese but club owner Sanny can help as she speaks a good amount of English.
If you aren’t much into water sports then it’s also a great spot to grab a coffee, coconut or beer and watch the sunset over Haikou.
