How we are paid

Which links earn commission

Links to book a trip (the trip cards with a price or a Check price button, and other booking links) go to Viator, our booking partner. If you book after following one of these links, Viator may pay us a commission. We do not add anything to the price you pay.

Every page has one link in the footer, "Some links earn us commission. How we are paid", that leads here.

How the links are tracked

Booking links carry tracking details in the web address: an mcid number and a campaign label (milfordsoundtourism). They tell Viator that you came from this site. They do not carry your name or any other detail about you.

We share a Viator partner account with our sister site Queenstown Tourism (queenstowntourism.com). The campaign label keeps this site's bookings separate from the sister site's in the partner's reports.

What we do not do

We do not sell trips ourselves, take payment or handle bookings. Prices, cancellation terms and tickets are set by Viator and the operator, so check the booking page before you pay.

We show a price only when it has been checked; otherwise the card says Check price. The booking page has the final price.

Editorial independence

Commission does not decide what our guides say. A trip is shown on a page because it suits what the page is about, never because an operator or the booking partner paid to be shown.

Clicks we record

We do not keep our own record of which booking links you click, and the site runs no analytics, as the privacy policy explains.
