Hanauma Bay-Diamond Head-Manalua Bay Duck Tour

Your Duck experience begins with a snorkeling adventure when a minibus picks you up at your hotel and takes you to Koko Marina.  You will receive snorkel equipment before heading out to one of the most beautiful aquatic spots on the island, Hanauma Bay. After relaxing for a  few hours, you will hop back on the bus to go back to Koko Marina.  Next you will catch the brightly-painted Duck for a return trip to Waikiki. Along the way, you will enjoy a 30-minute, fully-narrated ocean cruise in Maunalua Bay.  Next the Duck climbs out of the sea to cruise along the shoreline on Diamond Head Road and through the luxurious Kahala district, before returning you to your starting point.

The DUKW (D-model year 1942, U-amphibian, K-all wheel drive, W-dual rear axles) is boat-like with a hollow airtight body. It can go up to 50 miles per hour on land - fast enough for touring purposes.  It was designed to carry 25 soldiers and their equipment, an artillery piece, or 5,000 pounds of general cargo and ammunition. 20,000 DUKWs were produced by the US during World War II, and they first saw use in the invasion of Sicily in 1943. Later, they played an import role in the invasion of Normandy.
