Attractions vs. tours: what is the difference?
Attractions are the island's free or self-guided sights: pull over, walk in, usually no reservation. Many pair beautifully with a booked activity nearby, so each attraction page lists hours, access notes and the tours worth adding around it. Tell the concierge which sights you do not want to miss and it threads them into your week between the bookable highlights.
