Boston Duck Splashdown

When you want to see Boston in a unique and exciting way, Boston Duck Tours has what you're looking for.

Explore the historic wonders of Boston with a tour experience unlike any other as you waddle your way through the city with a Boston Duck Tour! You'll board an authentic 'Duck' amphibious vehicle - developed during World War II to carry cargo and supplies on land where there was no dock - as you explore the sites of Boston. Aside from offering a ride in this unique and historic vehicle, this tour will guide you along some of America's most notable landmarks, including Bunker Hill, sight of the famous Revolutionary War battle, and Boston Common, America's first public park. Other landmarks you'll visit along the way include the historic State House, Prudential Tower, Beacon Hill, and more!

A charismatic, costumed conDUCKtor will be your guide along this exciting tour of Boston and offer fun facts, unique history and lots of laughs along the way. After touring the streets of the city, you'll splash down into sparkling Charles River for a cruise along the grassy banks to enjoy incredible views of the skylines of Boston and neighboring Cambridge. This is your chance to enjoy a piece of Boston history, as these colorful, revitalized vehicles are a crowd favorite on the streets during the city's most prominent parades.
