What better way is there to explore the rich and scenic history of Rotorua, than in a 'duck' amphibious vehicle.
On this tour discover the fantastic local landmarks, including the Museum, Government Gardens, Lake Rotorua, Mokoia Island, Geothermal Sulphur Point and Blue baths, as well as a multitude of picturesque and gorgeous surrounding areas. You’ll be thrilled and amazed by each and every destination on your list. This 90 minute journey starts in the spectacular Rotorua City, then you'll venture out for a "splashdown" entry into Lake Tikitapu (blue lake). Lake Okareka has the abundance of magnificent bird life that will keep even the most experienced birdwatcher in awe.
