Sight-Seeing
Tours Rotorua
There’s no better way to see Rotorua and its beautiful lakes than on a Duck.
Moving effortlessly from land to water, our WW2 amphibious vehicles are a pretty awesome way to explore all that Rotorua has to offer. Whether you’re a bit of a history buff, or you’re keen to see what famous Mount Tarawera looks like, or you’re looking for a Rotorua Attraction and are keen on something fun – Rotorua Duck Tours fits the bill!
The Ducks are now heated for winter! We have clear roll-down sides, blankets, and heaters on board the Duck. Our lakes are very sheltered and don’t get affected much by the weather, if anything they get more beautiful! We are prepared for all weather!
Tours depart from the Rotorua Duck Store at 1241 Fenton Street, opposite Amazing Thai. Bookings essential.

WOW, where do I start?!
You guys are totally amazing. Our team had the best Christmas party ever (and I mean ever!) We received so many thumbs up and positive comments – they all had an absolute ball. From the organization of tasks, music, your incredible sense of humour and complete tolerance of the riff raff, the afternoon was brilliant. I can’t thank you enough and will definitely recommend Duck Tours to anyone wanting a great function.
