Besides Flight, traveling by Ferry/boat is also a nice choice if you have more time and would like to enjoy a nice view on the way. But ferries/boats are depending too much on the weather conditions. So if you travel in the raining and typhoon season from June to Oct. we suggest that you don't choose the ferry/boat for a long term plan. You will get a confirmed answer maybe just 3 days in advance if there is typhoon or not.

Usually reservation is not required as the ferry/boat has plenty of seats and rooms available all the time. More people decide to fly from Guangzhou to Haikou within one hour rather than taking the ferry. The ferry/boat from Shenzhen to Sanya is cancelled. No ferry from Hong Kong to Sanya any more as more flights choices
