About Rotorua Duck Tours |
 |
Rotorua Duck Tours in Rotorua, Bay of Plenty New Zealand started its operation in December 2003. It can be credited as the first and still the only company in New Zealand to provide amphibious sightseeing tours in authentic WWII landing crafts.
A family affair (Rotorua Duck Tours is owned by husband and wife, Peter and Anna Weir and Peter’s brother Trevor), the ‘Duck' was an idea conceived at a family Christmas nine years ago. Peter had seen them in the US and thought it was a concept that would work well in New Zealand.
Rotorua Duck Tours introduces some of the areas spectacular scenery and provides an informative insight into the history and the people of Rotorua, New Zealand.
As a testament to the success of the product a second duck was purchased in 2006, and a third duck has been purchased from the US and should be operational by summer 2012/13. “I think people appreciate that we have a unique product that offers a versatile Rotorua experience that’s fun, educational and an adventure all ages can enjoy” says Trevor.
