Amphibious vehicle used for ducktour in Singapore

In any large city, there are many different types of tours available. The most common are guided tours as well as hop-on-hop-off tours (basically buses that travel on tourist circuits, where you can get off at a tourist stop, see it, and then take the first next bus that comes), Some of these buses offer more attractions, such as double decker buses, half open top buses and so on. However, in Singapore (and in many other cities as well), there are additional tour options. One of these is these vehicles, looking not too much like a tourist attraction. However, they come with an additional attraction, being amphibian and can be very interesting. The moment when the vehicle leaves the land and jumps into the water is an interesting moment, there is a big splash and you hope that this is not the moment when the vehicle develops a leak.

These are supposed to be surplus military amphibian vehicles, although given the number of cities around the world that these vehicles operate in, there must be more such vehicles being made than there are military surplus available.
This vehicle is part of a tour that starts at Suntec City in Singapore, takes one around for a quick tour of the city streets and then enters the water for a total trip of 60 hours. You get to see some of the major landmarks such as the Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Singapore Flyer from the water, and it is a wonderful trip. 60 minutes is just right, because more than that might make one to start feeling bored.
