Island tours are mini-games that can be played to earn medals while on Tortimer Island, appearing in New Leaf.
There are a wide number of different tours available and they each come in three different difficulties. At first, only the easy tours can be selected, and by earning 50 medals, medium tours can be unlocked. Earning approximately 120 medals will then unlock the hard tours. A selection of 12 tours will be available from Leilani at any point in time and they change randomly every day at 12 AM. Course tours (tours with easy, official, and elite variants) will always appear as a set.
Once a tour is selected, all players on the island must be seated to begin. In Club Tortimer, only the player who initiated the tour has to be seated before the tour begins, and non-seated players will be left behind. The player can choose to play a game with other visiting players, or by themselves. Medals are earned from tour objectives and bonus medals are awarded for bronze, silver, or gold achievements in each tour.
In multiplayer, the required score for a game's medal milestone is often multiplied by the number of participating players. Additionally, in a select few games, bonus medals are awarded to each player depending on how much they contributed and the difficulty of the tour.
Tour list[]
Example available tour list when player has unlocked Official tours
Up to four tour categories are available per day, from the following: Balloon-Hunt, Bug Catching, Diving, Fishing, Gardening, Fossil-Hunting, Labyrinth, Ore-Hunting, Hammering, Item-Matching, Hide-and-Seek, Scavenger Hunting. Each of these four available tour categories will pick one each of their respective subcategory(s).
There are three difficulties for each island tour: Easy, Official, and Elite. Initially, only Easy is unlocked, but the second tier can also be unlocked too if the player has earned at least 5 gold medals of any category, or 15 with the third tier.
Balloon-Hunt[]
At the start of the tour, the slingshot will be automatically equipped. The aim of the Balloon-Hunt is to shoot down as many balloons floating in the air as possible. On the lower screen of the Nintendo 3DS will be a wind indicator which will indicate the direction the balloons will be flying in, as well as the location of a balloon. Regular balloons are worth one point and bunny balloons are worth three points.
During multiplayer, the balloons on the map are multiplied by the number of players participating. Each player will be allocated a color and can only pop balloons of their associated color.

Item-Matching[]
This tour is a memory game which requires locating a pair of items buried in the ground. Upon starting, a shovel will automatically be equipped for use during the game. When digging up an item, the corresponding pair must be found as well. If the next dug up item does not match the first, it will automatically be buried again until the matching item is found.

Hide and Seek[]
Just like the game that was introduced in City Folk, the aim of hide and seek is to find four villagers hiding on the Island. They may be hiding behind trees or fixtures. Villagers will not hide on the beach nor inside houses.

Scavenger Hunt[]
This is a scavenger hunt game for finding certain types of furniture. The goal is to enter houses and pick up the furniture listed, then go back to Tortimer to deliver it. The targeted furniture is listed in the checklist located in the inventory menu. The checklist is also shared among the players, checking off the furniture on all of their checklists each time the correct furniture is delivered. The game is over if the time runs out or if all listed items are found. Furniture cannot be taken out of this tour.
In multiplayer, each player is given a list of three items to find. A house can only be occupied by one player at a time. The game ends as soon as the last player reports back to Tortimer.

Trivia[]
- It is possible to gather an abundance of foreign fruits from the islands the tours take place on. Fruit gathered during the tours will remain in the inventory regardless of whether or not the tour is completed. Since the tours will always have fruit to gather, one could easily obtain an inventory full of fruit to sell once they return to their town.
- If the player still has flowers in their inventory when they finish any of the gardening tours, they will keep the flowers in their inventory despite the fact that the flowers are the tour requirement. This is because Tortimer specifically says that leftover flowers may be taken from the tour.
- Tortimer will tell the player that they may take any leftover flowers from the tour if they ask him during the tour.
- Win conditions will make the player react with the following emotions:
- Gold - Joy
- Silver - Glee
- Bronze - Sunniness
- Pass - Happiness (?)
- Fail - Disinterest
- Although there is no direct way to convert medals to bells, the player can purchase the island furniture and clothing and sell it at Re-Tail.
