Lakeland Queen: The elegant Lakeland Queen was built in New Zealand in 1986 specifically for cruising the waters of Lake Rotorua. The Lakeland Queen is a stern wheel paddleboat that is perfect for a scenic cruise in the shallow waters of Rotorua’s iconic lake.
Rotorua Duck Tours: offer amphibious sightseeing tours of Rotorua and its lakes area. You can get a great introduction to Rotorua's rich history and view some of its most spectacular scenery. The fun begins as soon as you climb aboard one of our amazing WWII Military Landing Craft (known as Ducks), where you will meet your legendary 'Conducktor' who is in charge of your guided tour.
