What do you do when the website sign-up is filled up already, we have a secret to try if you have the time/patience. No guarantees, however over a dozen of our guests this past season had success with this secret.  Go to Vines Landing before the first tour of the day and tell the Host you would love to get on a tour if there are any cancellations, which happens fairly frequently. Then go get something to drink/eat at Goldthwaite’s next door, try a stroll at Between the Tides gift shop or even take a drive down the street to the beautiful East Point Sanctuary for an amazing walk along the rocky shore. Check back with the Host and you might be able to get on an amazing Tour!
