Description:

Hop on the one-of-a-kind Duck, a repurposed World War II amphibious vehicle, and tour the city of Rotorua as well as the famous surrounding lakes. As the Duck takes you across land and into the water, uncover the rich history of local landmarks and explore the clear waters of Lake Rotorua.

Get acquainted with Rotorua as you begin your journey on the Duck to see the city's rich history. Tour the charming Government Gardens, the unique geothermal mud pools of Sulphur Point, the timber-framed Rotorua Museum, and the Blue Baths, a bathhouse blending Art Deco and Spanish mission design.

Next, sit tight as the Duck rolls into the clear blue waters of Lake Tikitapu, home to an abundance of exotic bird life. Marvel at the magnificence of Mount Tarawera and learn the tragic history of the eruption in 1886 that buried an entire village.

As you pass Mokoia Island, hear the famous legend of the lovers Hinemoa and Tutanekai. Head back home feeling refreshed, and don't forget to take a snapshot of the unique amphibious vehicle you rode on.
