The two experiences were great no fault with them. Highly recommend The Jetboat and Aquaduck experience they were really worth it and my 9 year old son thought it was his best days ever :-) Headout was good but would have been good to know you have to book the Aquaduck session yourself is was not that clear but it was a easy fix so 4.9star really :-)

Haven't seen anything like this before. Such a great idea. We loved checking the different sights, we loved going from land to water and most of all we loved the tour guide and the captain. They worked together so well as a team and made the experience, very entertaining.

We loved the facted that quacker duck is the only one that quacks. It's so funny & made us laugh and smile do much. I also like that everytime we got near an aquaduck we would quack at them because they couldn't quack back. It was very enjoyable and relaxing. Thank you

Ticketing was simple. I especially appreciated the timely reminders about my booking. Rapport between driver and tour guide was funny and we felt comfortable and relaxed. The bus was clean and we felt safe. The tour was interesting and we appreciated the opportunity to purchase souvenirs even though we did not take that up. Altogether it quacked us up and we enjoyed ourselves.

Super easy to book, great customer service, excellent hosts and loved the experience of seeing Surfers Paradise by land and water. We really enjoyed it and to top it off it was just pre-GC500, so we experienced the track and got to see cars in pit lane.

It was a relaxing experience out about driving on the Gold Coast beachfront boulevard and cruising on the river water. The friendly staff shared many interesting stories about landmarks and boats on the coast. The vehicle was safe stable and suitable for all ages. My child loved travelling on QuackaDuck which we would have regretted if we hadn't followed her wish to go on this special trip as we saw this vehicle whenever we visited the Gold Coast. And finally, this is our first time in 16 years living in Queensland. It was a fantastic experience and we would love to come back with family or friends.
