Departure Location

Aquaduck, Circle On Cavill Shopping Centre, Cavill Ave, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217

Australia’s first amphibious Gold Coast city tour & River Cruise commenced operations in 1996. The famous amphibious ‘Duck’ vessel with its big yellow beak is now a famous Gold Coast icon. Departing from Cavill Avenue, rides aboard the ‘Duck’ combine informative Surfers Paradise city tours with a unique and exciting Gold Coast River Cruise.

With live commentary on board, Aquaduck is a great way to quack about and see the Gold Coast. You will learn about the history and landmarks of Surfers Paradise along the esplanade and see one of the world’s most famous surf breaks. Then spot celebrities at one of the many cafes along trendy Tedder Ave as we make our way to the Broadwater to begin the waterways cruise part of the tour.

It’s a River Cruise & City Tour in One

Be amazed as the Aquaduck starts to say quack quack like a duck and instantly transforms into a boat and your Gold Coast river cruise begins. The Aquaduck has a unique seating layout offering you more room to stand and move around once we are on the water, along with great views. The Gold Coast is a beautiful part of Australia, and your tour aboard the Aquaduck allows you to see more than you would on even the longest boat cruises. Cruise past the glitzy waterfront mansions of the rich and famous and take in the spectacular views of the Gold Coast canals and Broadwater with its famous sights and natural wildlife.

Kids Get To Drive

Kids will also have the opportunity to drive the Duck on the water and take home their own Captains certificate. It really is the ‘must do’ activity for visitors and locals alike.

A tour aboard the Aquaduck is a safe and enjoyable activity for customers of all ages.

In all my years of holidaying on the Gold Coast, I'd aways see the Aquaduck but had never been on it until today! The kids absolutely loved it, especially getting the chance to be captain and steer the boat for a bit. Wish we had tried it sooner. Highly recommended! Especially for families with young kids. The staff are auper friendly and the commentary from the tour guide was also quite funny and entertaining!

What an incredibly fun experience we had yesterday with Margie and Adam on the Aquaduck! Our group of six all had a great time, especially my children who even got to steer the Aquaduck! If you're visiting the Gold Coast, you should give it a go. It really is a great and unique tour. 10/10 would recommend!
