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.

We had a wonderful experience aboard the Aquaduck with our driver Danny and your guide Caitlin. Lots of laughs had. Highlight was our son being able to drive the vehicle when in the Broadwater. It was very relaxing and something I recommend to all to try at least once.

Very informative people on the tour probably better doing this first if you've not been before as they inform you of the local things that are good to know
