  • Flying Horses Carousel, Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, United States
    The Flying Horses Carousel is a totally unique landmark. It's the oldest operating platform carousel in the country, having been built in 1876.

    10 minutes
  • Cottage Museum, Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, United States
    The Cottage Museum is a one-of-a-kind museum and gift shop offering more information about the origins of the Gingerbread Houses and the people who built them.

    10 minutes
  • Inkwell Beach, Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, United States
    Inkwell Beach, situated on the eastern side of Oak Bluffs, is a small and pretty beach with a bit of an unsavory past. In the early to mid 1900s, Martha's Vineyard beaches were fully segregated. As a result, beaches like this one were underfunded and generally left in disrepair by local authorities. Today, however, all of that has changed.
    10 minutes
  • Caroline Tuthill Wildlife Preserve, 2 Beach Rd, Edgartown, MA 02539, USA
    As you pass the Caroline Tuthill Wildlife Preserve, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for any of the more than 300 species of bird which can be found on the Vineyard. This preserve is also home to tons of local flora, including bountiful wildfowers of all sorts. Beyond it, you'll also head about the whaling industry and how it once defined the island.
    10 minutes
  • Chappaquiddick Island, Edgartown, MA 02539, USA
    Chappaquiddick Island, just off the coast of Edgartown's downtown, gets its name from the Wampanoag tribe. In their language, Chappaquiddick means "separated island." And yes, that does mean that its name is technically "Separated Island Island"!
    10 minutes
  • Katama Beach/ South Beach, 555 Katama Rd, Edgartown, MA 02539, USA
    Finally, you'll arrive at South Beach. This long strip of sand is basically two beaches in one, with the placid Katama Bay on one side and the dramatic Atlantic Ocean surf on the other. Whether you want to lounge on the sand, catch some surf, or just break out the binoculars and search for shore birds, this is the beach for you. Your tour concludes here, though there are more optional stops around the island if you want to keep the adventure going.
    10 minutes
  • 70 Main St, Edgartown, MA 02539, USA
    Passing through Edgartown's Historic District is a truly lovely experience. Wonderfully preserved houses from the 1800s flank the street, while cute shops and restaurants wait on every corner. As you drive, you'll also get a glimpse into how the town got its start, its name, and the role that whaling played in the development of it all.
    10 minutes
  • Lighthouse Beach, Edgartown, Massachusetts, United States
    On Lighthouse Beach, you'll enjoy a pristine sandy beach, gentle surf, and a picture-perfect New England lighthouse. It's a great spot to pause, picnic, and snap that perfect photo from your trip. While you're here, you'll also get a bit of background on that lighthouse.

This tour was outdated. The tour wanted us to go the wrong way down several one way streets (assume they weren't always one way streets??). Also, the tour really only showed us Oak Bluffs and Edgartown... we wanted to see ALL of Martha's Vineyard, not just those two towns.

This is the second time someone in my party purchased this; it's very difficult to follow. And when you're looking at the map, it will remove where my car is to show me a picture.

We travel quite often and have used many driving audio programs in the past. This one was impossible to use! We tried for over TWO hours to get "on track" and it was just not working correctly! We followed all the instructions, downloaded the app when we had internet connection, we began our tour at the designated spot and was still not able to use the application. Very frustrating!!! In the end, we wish we would have just hired a tour driver to take us around the island.
