What you can expect
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.
