Hanauma Bay-Diamond Head-Manalua Bay Duck Tour
Your Duck adventure begins when a minibus picks you up at your hotel and takes you to Koko Marina, where you'll receive snorkel equipment before heading out to Hanauma Bay, one of the most beautiful aquatic spots on the island. You'll spend a few relaxing hours there before hopping back on the bus to go back to Koko Marina, where you'll catch the brightly-painted Duck for a return trip to Waikiki. Along the way, you'll experience a fully-narrated, 30-minute ocean cruise in Maunalua Bay before the Duck climbs up 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.

Equipment
|
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 was designed to carry 25 soldiers and their equipment, an artillery piece, or 5,000 pounds of general cargo and ammunition. On land, it can go up to 50 miles per hour - fast enough for touring purposes. The United States produced 20,000 DUKWs 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.
