Affiliate Disclosure
What An Affiliate Link Is
Some buttons on this site, including the Check availability button on each tour card, are affiliate links. When you click one and then book, the booking platform pays this site a small commission on the sale. That payment comes from the platform's side of the transaction, not from a charge added to you.
Who The Partners Are
Tour links point to the booking platforms that sell the tours: GetYourGuide and Viator. Hotel suggestions on this site link to Expedia via Travelpayouts.
No Extra Cost To You
The price you pay on the booking platform is the same whether you arrive through a link on this site or type the platform's address yourself. Nothing is added at checkout because a link was used.
How This Does And Does Not Affect What You See
Tour cards are built from the same data pull regardless of commission rates, and the ordering within categories reflects the site's own arrangement. Cheapest, dearest and highest-rated callouts are computed from the stated prices and ratings, not from commercial preference. Five tours are new on the booking platform with no reviews, and this site says so rather than hiding them, because a missing rating is a fact worth knowing before you book. Where an operator's own terms are stricter than the booking page's cancellation window, that is stated too. Gaps and caveats stay in the copy even when a smoother sentence would sell better.
Where Booking And Payment Happen
This site takes no payments, holds no bookings and sees none of your card details. When you click out, you are on the booking platform's own secure checkout, bound by its terms and its cancellation policy. Questions about a payment, a refund or a date change go to the platform or the operator, never to this site.
The Plain Statement
Auckland Kayak Tours earns a commission from booking platforms when you book after clicking a link on this site, at no extra cost to you.
