Animal Crossing: New Horizons Kapp’n boat tours include new island secrets

Kapp’n’s boat tours — a new addition to Animal Crossing: New Horizons via the major, free 2.0 update — brings players to randomized islands filled with stuff to collect. These aren’t regular islands, like the ones visited during Mystery Island Tours. These islands have rare and unique items that are not available elsewhere, such as snowflakes or wild-growing sugarcane.

One of the mystery islands appears to be a star fragment island, where shooting stars are abundant — and rocks produce star fragments, a la clay and iron ore. Given how time consuming it can be to collect star fragments, by incessantly watching the night’s sky, the abundance of star fragment rocks is an exciting and surprising find; they’re abundant on islands at night with shooting stars.

So make sure you’re leaving no stone unturned when visiting these islands. There’s so much more to collect!

There will be a DIY at the beach on each of these islands. These DIYs can be found on star island shooting. They are similar to those you’d get from Celeste. Find more fragments of star stars on the beach.

Depending on the island, there’s other stuff to collect, too. Rare flowers and bushes, but also flora and fauna not seen elsewhere in the world — like climbing vines and different sorts of weeds. There are new DIY recipes on some of these islands, too, themed around the unique glowing moss that’s scattered around … everything from dresses to ponds.
