Tour
Tours are minigames in Animal Crossing: New Leaf that are accessible from Tortimer Island. Hosted by Tortimer, tours can be registered for by speaking to Leilani in the island's lobby and sitting in one of the chairs in the waiting area. Each tour has an objective that must be completed within a time limit. Completing the objective rewards the player with medals, the currency of Tortimer Island that can be used at the Souvenir Shop. Some tours task the player with doing something, such as catching bugs or popping balloons, as many times as possible within the time limit; the more the player does, the more medals they receive. Others have the player complete a task as fast as possible; the more time remaining when the objective is complete, the more medals received.
If there are any items in the player's pockets when going on a tour, they are automatically sold. Any tools or items needed to complete a tour appear in the player's pockets automatically when the tour starts, and additional tools can be rented from Lloid, who appears in the starting area in most tours. Any items the player picks up during a tour can be brought back to Tortimer Island afterward.
There are a total of 64 tours, and Leilani gives the player a list of 12 random ones to choose from each day. Additionally, some tours must be unlocked before they can appear on the list.
List of tours[edit]
Balloon Hunt Tour[edit]
At the start of the tour, the slingshot will automatically be equipped. The goal 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 show the direction the balloons will be flying in, as well as the locations of the balloons. 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 in the balloon hunt. Each player will be allocated a color, and can only pop balloons of their respective color.

Ore Tour[edit]
Players use their shovels to break open as many rocks as they can in order to find gems. Ores are normally worth 1 point, but a type of gem can be worth 3 points, as dictated by Tortimer. In the more difficult games, Tortimer announces that there is a type or ore worth 10 points, but only 1 or 2 are found in the map.
Hammer Tour[edit]
Each player is equipped with a toy hammer. The goal of the hammer tour is to chase around a Cornimer remote control toy which must be hit with the hammer as many times as possible before the time runs out. When the toy reaches an obstacle, it will turn in a random direction. The toy will occasionally flip over, leaving it vulnerable to a barrage of easy hits.
As the difficulty increases, the toy will move faster, and rocks are scattered throughout the map.
