Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: Nov 20, 2025

Islands of the Indian Ocean (“the website”, “we”, “our”) may contain affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

We only recommend products, tours, accommodations, and services that genuinely add value to our readers.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions or opinions.

1. How Affiliate Links Work

• Certain links on this website are tracked through affiliate programs.
• When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the external website recognises that we referred you.
• We may receive a small commission as a result.
• Your price remains exactly the same, regardless of whether you use our link.

2. Why We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate income helps support:

• website hosting and maintenance
• travel research
• content creation
• photography and on-location visits
• keeping this website free for all readers

3. Your Choice

You are never obligated to use affiliate links.

You are welcome to visit websites directly if you prefer.

4. Accuracy & Independence

While affiliate partnerships help fund the website, all recommendations, reviews, and opinions expressed are:

• honest
• independent
• based on genuine experience or careful research

We do not accept affiliate arrangements that require positive or biased coverage.

5. External Websites

Affiliate partners and merchants maintain their own:

• terms and conditions
• privacy policies
• prices
• availability
• refund and cancellation processes

We are not responsible for the actions, services, or policies of any third-party websites.
