Affiliate Disclosure
Follow a tour link on kapitiislandtours.com and book, and this site may be paid for the referral. This page sets out how that arrangement works, who pays, and what it does to the price you see.
Affiliate Links, In Plain Terms
Some links carry a tag so the seller knows where your booking began. Click one and the live listing for that Kapiti Island day trip, Zealandia walk or seal coast safari opens as normal; if you then pay for a seat, a commission can come back to this site. Your price does not move. No pop-ups, no redirect chains, and each link lands on the same listing you would find by searching yourself.
How This Site Gets Paid
Tour links point to GetYourGuide and Viator, the two booking platforms where the 10 tours compared here are sold. Hotel links point to Expedia via Travelpayouts.
No Extra Cost To You
Click a link or type the booking address yourself, the price of your seat on the boat or your night walk comes out the same. The seller pays a commission on referred sales from its own margin, so that cost never lands on your receipt. Skipping the link simply removes the small payment that funds the comparisons and guides on these pages.
What Money Never Touches Here
Prices, ratings, review counts and durations come from the booking pages, not written to steer you toward a fatter payout. The overnight island stay costs more than the Zealandia day walk, and both sit side by side with everything between, from the $40.23 entry-level tour to the $401.73 overnight, because honest comparison is the whole point. Cheap tours, short tours and big-ticket ones get equal placement.
Who You Actually Pay
Money changes hands only between you and the seller whose page you book on. Card details are never collected by this site, no deposits are held, and no cancellation or refund request is handled by it either. When a Kapiti crossing is postponed by weather or a Zealandia date needs moving, the booking platform you paid and the operator named on the listing are the two parties with the power to sort it out.
The Short Version
Use a link from this site and a commission goes to kapitiislandtours.com from the seller, while the total you pay for any Kapiti Island or Wellington tour remains unchanged.
