Nook Mile Islands versus Kapp'n Tours. Which one do you prefer?

[Rosch]

The boat tour obviously offers more, but the downside is it's limited to one tour per day. Which is a shame. But this still wins for me.

Of course, mystery islands are still essential for villager hunting, which is very important to a lot of players.

it seems to me that Kapp tours are for the gyroids and veggies/fruits where the Nook isles are for bugs. i havent checked to see if the bugs still produce on the Nooks islands since the update however, i have noticed no bugs Ever on the Kapp isles.
i also think its a disgrace that they charge you 1000nm for the Kapp tours.
because of that i have a question...has anyone cut down all the trees/rocks/plants etc on the Kapp isles? i started the other day but i was too lazy to complete it lol! i cant help but to think that theres something more in them that i just havent found yet.

I would say Kapp'n Tours because I would find the gyroid fragment, vines and glowing moss, extra crops, etc.

nook mile islands! (but only when you have a free plot heh)-

although the whole seasonal variation for kapp'n tours is a thing as well as the different items, my chances are lower as i reset my island before the 2.0 update

Yeah like I said before you actually need to have a 3 star island and to have K.K. Slider visit your island in order for Kapp'n to show up on your island.

I don't like Kappn's islands, but I also don't like NMT islands. Kappn's islands take the win though since you can find some out of season islands to change things up.

Kapp’n boat islands 100%, i spend way more time on those island and they have more to offer eg. Gyroid, star island dont get me wrong in 2020 nookmile islands were amazing but after a year of release they can only offer so much to attract me there and i dont see mych point for them now tbh.

Yeah I used to do a lot of villager hunting last year but now since I've seen a lot of the villagers I don't find myself doing it more often. I've been playing for so long that it feels like that I've seen all of the villagers. Yes I am aware of the newer ones, but I am just going to take it slow.

 

[vixenvertigo]

Hmm I think this because of the way I like to play the game in general, but neither!

I hate both equally. I find them tedious. I prefer to barter online if I need certain items from the tours or islands. I have to be pretty desperate for materials to go on either

 

[dragonair]

I haven't been to a NMT island in months tbh. I stopped trying to get villagers from them since I started campsite cycling and they never really gave me anything else that I needed. Kapp'n's Islands are much better imo. I get gyroids, recipes, crops, materials that are seasonal, and can get star fragments.

 

[OiGuessWho]

Kapp'n tours, boiiii. I keep getting an interesting variety of them, and one island gave me loads of Gold nuggets. The only thing that would make them perfect would be if they also had villagers on when you wanted to villager hunt - IDK if they have that.

 

[Halloqueen]

Even though they're limited to one per day, I have to go with Kapp'n. From past experience, I hate the random chance element to finding villagers on Nook Miles Islands and I opted instead to just scan all of my residents in via amiibo, so that aspect of Nook Miles Islands is useless to me. The possibility for Kapp'n to take you to an island in a different season or the star fragment island is way more interesting. The Nook Mile Islands are a good, fairly reliable source of the common crafting materials like the three types of wood, stone, ore, and clay, but depending on what sort of island you end up on with Kapp'n, you might have that covered too.

Still wish the Dodos would've taken us to these mysterious islands as an alternative to the ordinary Nook Miles Islands so Kapp'n could've taken us to Tortimer's Island or an equivalent with minigames, but alas.

Kapp'n is more nicer imo with the islands and its 50% off of the Nook Mile islands.

Kapp'n islands has more unique islands also (Shooting star, Moss, etc)

 

[Blueskyy]

I got my first shooting star island yesterday. I realized it was that once I saw it was dark in the island. It was a fun surprise. I do wish there was a small mini game to do as well.

 

[SugarMage]

I much prefer Kapp'n islands! Even though there are some rare ones, I usually just consider NMT islands as copies of my island when I need extra materials or a way to hunt for villagers - which I rarely do. The Kapp'n islands have a lot more variety and even if I end up on a plain one I still get a gyroid fragment and a recipe hehe.
