Animal Crossing: New Horizons has become one of the most popular video games of the decade, with millions of players around the world enjoying their new island home. One of the most enjoyable aspects of this game is visiting other islands using Nook Miles Tickets and Mystery Island Tours. This article will explain how to visit other islands and what kinds of mystery islands you might find.

The easiest way to visit other islands in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is by using Nook Miles Tickets. Players can purchase these tickets with their accumulated Nook Miles – a type of currency in the game earned by completing tasks and activities. After buying a ticket, players can select a destination from an island genus list, providing basic information about each island (such as terrain type and stock). Once players arrive on their chosen island, they are free to explore it.
Players should be aware that some islands can have unique resources that are not found on their home island, such as rare fish or bugs. Additionally, often players will find “neighbors” – NPCs (non-playable characters) living on the island who may give out items or even offer DIY recipes for furniture!

These tours provide surprise destinations for players to visit based off how many miles are paid for the ticket (the higher amount you pay, the more likely you’ll get a more rare island type). To access this option, head to Resident Services and talk to Tom Nook at the ATM – he’ll direct you to Orville for your ticket purchase.
