Boston Duck Tours

Boston Duck Tours is the perfect place to go

The fun begins as soon as you board your “DUCK”, a W.W. II style amphibious landing vehicle. First, you’ll be greeted by one of our legendary ConDUCKtors, who’ll be narrating your tour. Then you’re off on a journey like you’ve never had before. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s more. It’s time for “Splashdown” as your ConDUCKtor splashes your DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines.

Boston Duck Tours has 3 ticket booth locations. They are located inside the Museum of Science after the gift shop, inside the Prudential Center across from Barnes and Noble and in the Whale Watch Booth at the New England Aquarium. Tickets can also be purchased at the Bostix booth at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. 80-minute tours depart from the Museum of Science and Prudential Center.

Every New Englander loves to be outdoors once the weather turns nice and visitors alike love the region’s best coastline. For a unique view of Boston and Cambridge, there’s no better option than renting a kayak or canoe to set off on day of exploration of either Boston Harbor or the picturesque Charles River. Here, you will paddle past some of the city’s best sights, including the Esplanade, Hancock and Prudential buildings, Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge, Museum of Science, M.I.T., and Boston University.
