Great day out on the Paihia Duck

Catch the bus in Paihia and you could end up plunging into deep water.

The Paihia Duck is a purpose-built amphibious vehicle doubling as a bus on the roads and a boat for sightseeing the Bay of Islands.

It seats 38 and makes daily plunges into the water, with a guide giving a commentary. The tour includes the duck climbing back on land at Russell, touring the town and then slipping back into the sea to explore Opua before returning to Paihia.

The cost for the 90-minute tour is $45 for adults and $25 for children.
