Affiliate disclosure
How Kaikoura.com is funded and how we choose what we recommend.
How we earn money
Kaikoura.com is an independent guide, not the official site of any tour operator, the i-SITE or the Kaikōura District Council. We earn commissions from two partners: GetYourGuide for tours, and Booking.com for accommodation. If you book through our links, the price you pay is the same and we may receive a commission.
Pages with hotel links load a Travelpayouts script that may convert Booking.com links into tracked affiliate links.
How we choose
We recommend tours and hotels because they fit a type of traveller, not because of the commission. We do not accept payment for placement or reviews, and we point out free alternatives — such as the Peninsula Walkway, the seal colony at Point Kean or the lookouts — wherever they apply.
Prices and availability
We do not publish live tour or hotel prices because they change constantly. Always check the live price, inclusions and cancellation terms on GetYourGuide or Booking.com before you book.
