They are great opportunities to see one of the resort's five grand villas, as well as to meet other DVC members and guests. DVC representatives talk about what's new at the DVC without sales presentation pressure. Members sign up in advance at no charge for a one- hour walking tour of the resort led by the resort naturalist. The tour covers the history of the resort, how the theming was decided, and points out many details that would be otherwise overlooked. I've taken the tour a few times, and definitely recommend it.
Hammocks are a great place to relax, and they're scattered all about the resort.
There are other activities open to all guests , and most are suitable for adults as well as families. There's the Secrets of the Marsh, where guests don boots and go out into the marsh with the naturalist to learn more about the low country and its wildlife. The Trees of Longview Island walking tour focuses on the many species of trees at the resort, including the majestic live oak. The Pinckney Island Birding and Gator Adventure takes guests by van to nearby Pinckney Island, home of many birds and some alligators. All of these tours are free but require you to register in advance upon your arrival.
