Aton Impulse makes Advanced All Terrain Amphibious Vehicles. Check out the link goes thru to their company website on a page with a demonstration video.
Marketed for snow and water rescue, commercial exploration, and other uses, this would be the vehicle to get if a Land Rover did not get you everywhere you wanted to go, me thinks.
That or just go for a helicopter?... tank??..
