Receive Hotel Tickets from DIY Requests
You will also get DIY item requests in Version 3.0. You will be able to submit various items requested at the box near the hotel and Kapp'n's boat in exchange for Hotel Tickets that you can use to purchase hotel-themed items in the hotel.
Kapp'n will send these items away automatically as a form of advertisement for your island. You will be able to get extra tickets from him once you submit five and ten items in the box.
How to Find Kapp'n's Boat Tours
At the Pier
Kapp'n will be waiting on his boat next to your island's pier, giving the empty dock a new purpose. Before you can ride his boat tour, you will need to pay Kapp'n 1,000 Nook Miles.
Each time you ride his boat, you will be brought to a random uninhabited island. Most of these uninhabited islands are similar to mystery islands, but some may have a different time of day or season from your island.
Kapp'n's Boat Tours Schedule
| Date & Time | Once a day, everyday |
|---|---|
| Location | Pier |
You can ride the Boat Tour once per day at any time by visiting Kapp'n at the pier. If you can't access him, make sure that your game is updated to Version 2.0 or later.
