Departing from Surfers Paradise, the iconic Aquaduck remains Australia’s first and finest amphibious adventure. These tours offer a perfect blend of city sightseeing and river cruising. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this family-friendly adventure is a safe and enjoyable activity for all ages.
Engage with knowledgeable tour guides, who will provide informative commentary throughout the journey. The tour begins on land, where guests can witness the famous ‘Surfers Paradise’ sign on the renowned beach before the real excitement begins. Experience the famous “splash down” as the Aquaduck seamlessly transitions from land to water. Experience an aquatic adventure that gives the opportunity to enjoy the captivating beauty of the Gold Coast Broadwater. Keep a look out for playful dolphins and other fascinating wildlife that call this area home.
Marvel at the spectacular Surfers Paradise skyline and catch a glimpse of the luxurious super yachts while cruising past the Marina Mirage. Children are invited to take the helm of the Aquaduck and take home their very own souvenir captain’s certificate. Suitable for all ages, from babies to seniors, this is a must-do activity for the entire family.

A great family outing on the aqua duck
We took our family of five on the aqua duck and everyone had a great time the kids all had a drive from three year old to teenager. I recommend this as a great way for your family to see the sights of the Gold Coast while relaxing and enjoying the entertaining commentary

Great family activities. Great experience for visitors from overseas!
Our second time to join the tour as family from overseas visiting us. Staff is always genuinely friendly. The gathering point is easily accessible in the heart of surfer paradise. Kids are really looking forward to being the little captain again and there they went. We booked the 4:45pm tour and the extra bonus was enjoying the sunset during the trip.
