What you can expect

Hop aboard this all-terrain amphibious vehicle and explore the rainforest environment on this unforgettable tour. These mighty vehicles, used during World War II, propel you through the rainforest and into the water, giving you spectacular views and up-close encounters with native wildlife.

The Army DUKW (commonly known as the Duck) was produced to enable land vehicles to cut across waterways and deliver supplies. These marvels of machinery became war workhorses, though they're now more commonly used as exciting tourist vehicles.

Traverse dirt tracks and splash into the waterways on your unforgettable 45-minute rainforest tour. As you go, your knowledgeable Duck captain points out and explains the exotic native flora and fauna. Keep your eyes peeled for turtles, all kinds of fish and eels, water dragons, and even pythons lazing in the sun on the river banks.

The guide was very knowledgeable about the plants and trees (and also witty) so we enjoyed the commentary and learnt a lot. It was quite exciting travelling in an amphibious vehicle in the rainforest. Didn’t see any animals, though - guess the noise of the engine scared them off!

Tour was great, but the £8 each fee for the 5 mins shuttle bus to start point was extremely annoying. Should be included
