Favorite island activity?

[Mommii]

I was just wondering what the rest of you like to do out on the island for medals. I know there is good fishing and bug hunting as well if you're after bells. As for myself, I like the free-diving the best.

My favorite tours are:

-evening firefly tour
-ore hunting
-item matching
-scavenger hunt

I love free-diving as well! I think diving is a lot more satisfying than fishing/hunting. I beetle hunt once a day but sometimes I get kinda tired of it tbh. I like the cute evening tours, like the firefly one and shark battle! I think the 'nighttime' tour music is really cute and soft. I also really like the flower-gathering tour.

The elite Ore hunting and Gardening tours (If that's what they are called)... Also Tuna Kahuna... Other than that I just like doing a late night bug/shark haul

I haven't had the chance to try the shark one yet, and I forgot about the fireflies. I think I'm going to have to make a trip out to the island again.

my fav tours are the ore hunting, hammer, some bug catching, and gardening tours :> they're a lot of fun and usually not too hard haha ^^ with some of them (like the hide and seek, fossil ones, diving ones and labyrinth one) i just fail awfully every time so i don't like those ones )x

also, i don't do this a lot, but it's a lot of fun to go to club tortimer and play tours with nice people ^^ you get more medals for every tour too i think

Tuna Kahuna!!!

 

[cheadle]

I like the market price tours and the ore hunting. Hide and seek can be fun but gets old fast.

 

[Alienfish]

shooting down balloons.. also when you can catch whatever bug you want? haha

Gardening and Ore Hunting are my favs. I do enjoy the Giant Firefly one, easy medals specially if you are competing!

 

[LinkToTheWorld]

Had to be the elite treasure hunt just for how many medals you can get and how Easy the activity is after you've done it a few times.
They all get a bit repetitive to me after a while though. I do love the elite bug hunting as well, especially if I'm playing with somebody else

I enjoy bug hunting and fishing. I usually go after 7 pm to take advantage of the big beetles on the tropical trees.

I like:
hiding seek
balloon
giant dragonfly
scavenger

i dont really do tours a lot as theres no rare items on sale most of the time. so basically, i mainly farm when im on the island.

 

[AnimalCrossingPerson]

Easy Gardening Tour is my favourite for grinding medals. Never do the tours for other reasons as they just feel taped on as another selling point.

Every time the scavenger hunt comes up in the tours, I will usually do that one repeatedly in one sitting until I have a good chunk of medals. I hate going to the island, seeing something I want and realizing I have to play games I can only win 5 medals at a time with.

Flowers & minerals are pretty easy

The Elite Scavenger Hunt. If you win, you get 16 medals. With a little practice you can easily beat the time of 4 minutes to get gold. (I can usually do it in 3mins 15 sec or less, have even gotten under 2 minutes sometimes.) And 4 minutes is very short compared to some tours so you can get a LOT of medals in a short time.

Once you've done it several times you know the room layouts and where each item is. There are only 8 rooms that are rotated through. And there's only 1 item from your list in each room.

If you want to study the room layout, there's a great resource online at this page:

I like the market price bug/fish tours (it's fun to see how much money you lose xD) and I adore (ad-ore?) the ore hunting ones!

 

[aburayacrossing]

I like the fishing ones and hide and seek. I can usually make quite a few bells on Elite Hide and Seek.

I am just terrible at diving. I must not be using the controls properly. :/
