Loved the fun of this ride with our duck hooters, quacking at passers-by. Splash down in the lake was an adventure and in all gave a comprehensive tour of Rotorua. More

This WW2 1944 amphibous bus/craft (refurbished) apparently weighs 8 ton. Grant, our conDUCKtor had plenty of personality and we enjoyed all the history, cultural landmarks and Maori stories. Not cheap at NZ $70 each, but we also loved the weird adventure experience of driving off the road into 2 different lakes. Our bus was half full, which was great, as... More

So much of rotirua activity relies on good weather this is a good one to keep up your sleeve for a rainy afternoon. Quite expensive, but good enetertaining fun - and a different view of the area. More

The Rotorua duck tours will always remain as one of the most memorable experience we have had on our holidays - the drivers energy and awesome conduct which was full of humour and fun - was truly fascinating! More

We had a fun time and learned a lot about the area , the vehicle and the lakes. Entertaining and informative tour that kept us laughing and hapy despite the cold weather that day. Definitely a worthwhile experience. More

Second time we had been on the duck and was just as good as the first. Took 2 grand children - 3 & 7- and they had a great time. Grant was an excellent driver and tour host. Gave relevent information with out talking just for the sake of filling in the time and was good fun. More

Did the tour totally on the spur of the moment. Really good value for money as it takes you to at least 2 lakes and around parts of Rotorua. The driver was great fun and made sure he involved his passengers in his experience. Good trip for young and old alike. Loved the silly duck quakers!! More

We took 6 kids for a birthday party on the Duck. It was great fun and the kids had a blast sitting up the front talking and laughing with the driver. We had a nice trip and enjoyed the tour with plenty of laughs all around. Many thanks for making a speical boy turn 7. Cheers from Donna :) More
