The two kids had an absolute blast steering the duck. Leigh and Declan were fantastic tour guides and made our time with them enjoyable. Thankyou Will definitely be back again nextime we're up here on holidays.

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 :-)

Pleased with the smiles & courtesy my group of 4 Seniors received Only comment would be to more clearly highlite through the booking procedure: 1). Phone number, a must have for those of us who wander aimlessly around web sites trying to sort stuff 2) address where the event is, again was a pain to locate even in final email, moreso because 3). I did the trip a few years ago when it was in Cavill now it's moved to Elkhorn - imagine my shock 20min prior realising the 4 of us (Seniors) had to hoof it 1.6klm in 15minutes, not happy Jan. Lass in departure/booking booth was A1 Rhonda was a darling Murray, Mr Duck Murray well enough said - he even raised a giggle from my darling - top job mate Dave

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.
