We had such a fantastic time on the Aquaduck! The highlight for our kids was the exciting moment when the vehicle transitioned from land into the water—it was such a unique experience. They absolutely loved getting a turn to “drive” the boat and were so proud to receive their captain’s certificates at the end. The staff were friendly and made the experience fun and engaging for the children. It was a great way to see the Gold Coast, and we’d definitely recommend it to families looking for something different and memorable!

The staff at AquaDuck were amazing and very funny. They were also professional and ensured we all were safe and had an enjoyable experience. Despite being a local, I still learned new things about the area that made the tour even more enjoyable.

Margie and Jerry were our guides for our trip and they were absolutely wonderful! They were so accommodating for our group (ages ranged from 3-94). It was a joyful and informative experience for everyone in our group.

Explore the Gold Coast by land and sea on this unique 1-hour adventure, cruising through Surfers Paradise and the Broadwater on the Aquaduck.

Witness the iconic Gold Coast skyline from a whole new perspective as your amphibious vehicle makes a splash into the Broadwater.

Spot playful dolphins and soak up the sun on a scenic river cruise, surrounded by luxurious mansions and superyachts.

Let your little ones dream of becoming captains as they take the wheel of the Aquaduck and earn a personalized certificate.

Did you know? Amphibious vehicles played crucial roles in World War II, enabling troops and supplies to land on beaches during invasions.

A quintessential Queensland experience

Take the “world’s first” amphibious Aquaduck Safari, which has been running since 1996. Whether you’re short on time or not, this tour shows you the best of the Gold Coast in a jiff. Your journey begins in the heart of Surfers Paradise on Cavill Avenue. You'll board the famous yellow 'Duck' vessel, an amphibious vehicle that's become a true Gold Coast icon. As you set off, you'll get to see the famous 'Surfers Paradise' sign - a great photo opportunity! Take in the breathtaking Pacific Ocean from your standpoint, while picking up facts about the Gold Coast you knew not of. You’ll also see the Southport Yacht Club, Palazzo Versace, and Marina Mirage before you head to the Broadwater.

Kids get to be Captain

The real excitement begins when you reach the Broadwater. Get ready for the famous "splash down" as our Aquaduck seamlessly transitions from land to water. Float about the shimmering waters of the Gold Coast as you enjoy this scenic cruise. Once you're on the water, all children on board will have the opportunity to take the wheel and drive the Aquaduck! The skipper will invite each child to have a turn if they wish. As a memento of their time as captain, each child who drives will receive a personalized Aquaduck Captain's Certificate. It's a great souvenir to take home and show off to friends and family.
