Martha's Vineyard Tours and Transport, also known as Experience Martha's Vineyard Tours, runs shared and private island tours in air-conditioned vans led by local guides. The standard three-hour tour covers all six towns with a 15-minute stop at the Aquinnah Cliffs; private options include a four-hour Jaws film-location tour and an African American Heritage tour. Shared tours meet at the MV Transport vans in front of the Oak Bluffs Steamship Authority ticket office; the company also provides black-car and group transportation year-round.
General tours guidance
Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.
Confirm the meeting point
It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.
Small groups fill first
In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.
Ask how much is on foot
Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.
Read the weather policy
Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
