Island Cabana

After you’ve purchased your first home from Tom Nook and have been visited by Tortimer, you can visit an exotic tropical island any time you like. Just stroll down to the beach, check the jetty, and you’ll find a salty old frog named Kapp’n minding a boat. Chat with Kapp’n to book passage to a wondrous island, where all sorts of exciting adventures await!

Each time you visit the island, Kapp’n drops you off at the cabana. This is the island’s main hub of activity, so let’s check it out!

Tour Counter

Chat with Leilani at the counter on the left to learn all about tours—exciting excursions you can undertake alone or with friends. Leilani offers a different selection of tours each day, so visit the island often to experience a new variety!

Item Box

Items cannot be carried in your pockets when you leave the island—instead, anything you wish to bring back to town must be stored in the special box near the tour counter. Everything you place in this box will magically appear in the basket on the jetty back in town when you return. Don’t ask us how it works!

Gift Shop

Participating in tours gives you a chance to earn medals. In turn, these medals are used to purchase goods from Grams, who runs the island’s gift shop. Grams won’t accept Bells—only medals can be used to make purchases.

The gift shop offers items you won’t find anywhere else, including wet suits, which let you swim around in the sea. Save your medals and purchase a wet suit from Grams as soon as you’re able!

Leila’s Spot

A little tyke sits on a blanket in the cabana, asking everyone who walks by if they’d like to play “shop.” If you’re feeling friendly, you can play with Leila, pretending that you’re a store clerk and “selling” her anything you happen to be carrying. Leila’s just a kid, so she can’t offer you many Bells for your goods. Playing her game is fun, but you’re far better off storing items in the box near the tour counter and selling them back in town.
