We made a late booking for a family trip on Reggie - yes, the Aquaduck has a name! The booking process was fast and easy, and we found the price very reasonable for a family experience we’d all... enjoy. Our hosts, Jake and Josie, were friendly, professional, fun and were careful to ensure our safety and comfort. I won’t spoil the tour for you, but there were some pretty big names attached to the canal-front homes we saw. My 5 & 9 year old kids loved having the opportunity to drive Reggie in the water. This was such a great way to spend an afternoon, and I’d recommend it for families and folks looking for a relaxed tourist experience in gorgeous Mooloolaba.read more

My sister, granddaughter and I all took this tour. It was very informative and the guides knew their history of the coast and didn’t read once from any brochures or devices. We had a really great... time just doing things together. My granddaughter even got to drive Reggie on the water. She said it was lots of fun. We would definitely recommend this tour to visitors or even locals(as I am).read more

Our guides Hera & Jeff and the rest of the team are extremely polite, courteous and funny.Try doing this activity at the beginning of your trip so... that will give you an idea of what all Gold Coast has to offer.Will definately do it again the next time as well.My only grudge.... Even I would like a certificate although I am still an adult... 🤣read more

This is a must do experience for all visitors to our beautiful Sunny Coast. It’s also a fantastic way for locals to perhaps learn a little about our own backyard.Both the guide and driver/captain... were very friendly yet professional. Both very knowledgeable and added enough light hearted commentary to be engaging the entire trip.The Duck was spotless and well maintained. The audio was loud and clear .Even on a wet day our group of 10 really enjoyed ourselves.Highly recommended 👍😁read more

Absolutely wonderful - definitely a must-do and strongly recommended!A true Gold Coast institution, as local residents we went on an Aqua Duck tour for fun and to support a local business. Exceeded... all expectations! Staff were so knowledgeable and friendly, the 'duck' itself was a great ride on land and water with changing views left right and centre. Kids and adults will enjoy immensely.If you're a local or a visitor, an hour out of your day will be worth it, you will learn lots and have fun. Seriously good. Go Aquaduck!!!read more

Very impressive Aquaduck experience. Really enjoyed it, the audio was good, even with the duck interrupting time to time, which made it more funnier. The road was very bumpy but the waterways were... nice and absolute beautiful. Pictures were offered at a $10 charge, all i can suggest is making the Aquaduck bigger and better by having a ramp or lift for wheelchair and maybe a toilet onboard, even if its underneath the seating.read more
