Australia’s first amphibious Aquaduck ride…experience a Gold Coast city tour and river cruise in one.
The city tour portion of the Aquaduck experience begins in the heart of Surfers Paradise on Cavill Avenue. We head out along the famous Surfers Paradise beach towards the glamour and beauty of Main Beach. Along the way we take in the Pacific Ocean, Southport Yacht Club, Marina Mirage, The Imperial Hotel (the former Palazzo Versace) and learn about the Gold Coast as we head to the Broadwater.
That’s where the Aquaduck gets to show its true colours splashing into the water for a scenic cruise of the spectacular river and Broadwater. The cruise encompasses the key sights from the water, wildlife and all the activity of one of Australia’s busiest waterways.
While on the water passengers are free to move about the Aquaduck and the children have the opportunity to drive the Aquaduck and receive a Captain’s certificate.
Aquaduck is Australia’s original amphibious tour with over 2.2 million happy customers.

Commentary is given about the buildings and areas which fall in the route and for fun little children onboard are called one by one and allowed to hold the steering of the Boat when the Aquaduck is in the sea and given 'certificates' by the 'Captain' of successfully navigating the Boat.
I think the ride is good just for once but is somewhat overrated.
















Jonty was great and was quite funny.
Jonty Rhodes used to be my favourite Jonty but now I think I have a new favourite.
Take your kids they will love it.





There was a little bit waiting time because it was on weekend. Recommend to get your tickets before hand.
Thank you for your kind service and facility
When we disembarked, there was a photo booth available, which was great for kids to take pictures.
This trip was quite suitable for kids because they let them take pictures pretending to be the captain, and the kids even received certificates and stickers.

Our guide, Sophie, was great and had a really lovely, friendly manner with all of us on the tour! The captain was good as well with plenty of knowledge about the area.
This is a quick tour to give a good overview of the main area of surfers in a unique vessel. Great for kids as all the kids had an opportunity to drive the duck in the water!

I would recommend booking the seats that face the open window especially if you want to take video.
Highly recommend.
Thank you!


It is highly recommended.
Very friendly and informative guides.
Had a mix up with my boarding time, so the lovely ladies at the desk done me a FREE souvenier photo.
Margie was very knowledgeable of the local area and extremely helpful with assisting our two young kids. Both our Son’s had a very fun time and us Parents got to enjoy the amazing views.
Thank you for a great tour. Highly recommend.


Just wanna say we LOVED our AquaDuck experience with Azza and Steve! They were funny, informative and all round nice guys! They had a great rapore with the clients and just made you feel at ease! I would of gone around and around and around again if I could afford to! Well done on a great experience. The only issue I found is getting there - Google maps took us to another company offering the same deal. Be careful of those ones! Glad we stuck with the OG! Will definitely be visiting again! Kind regards and best wishes - Chelsea from Adelaide :)
All in all its well worth the money I spent.
I really recommend this tour especially if you have little ones i can see them having such a great time. It was only my partner and i but we still had such an amazing time in the water and going around the roads of Surfers.
A big shout out and Thanks for the trip and info, Andy and Lynette or Anette (I think her name was) But gosh they were awesome!

Definitely better than the Singapore version, although the opportunity for a quiz and some historical knowledge sharing were missed!
Guides were laid back, great fun, informative and held our group's interest throughout the tour - Well worth joining a tour. Would definitely recommend!

Tickets and departure Cavill Avenue
Well worth the ride
See a bit of the Gold Coast in land and sea
You won’t get wet unless very windy or rough sea
Very pleasant staff
Seniors get a discount


Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was majority of things to look at were on the right side, if you sat on the left like us, you felt like you missed out on seeing alot.






Only suggestion would be is when the driver was talking while on the river that having the mic turned louder would be better. We struggled at times to listen to what he was saying, may have been due to the other passengers talking though.
Other than this this was a very good tour, thanks for showing us the gold coast.



It took 1 hour which is perfect for this kind of activity, surfers paradise view along the coast was breathtaking.
Nice to see celebrity houses with few helicopters landing during our ride :)
Amazing staff at check-in counter and on board.











The drive to the water was a bit boring for kids but the tour guide had some interesting facts about the area. Once we got to the water it was truly a different experience and a must do at least once!


Excellent way to see the Gold Coast as both land and sea

However, it's worth noting that the service provided by the Aquaduck staff can be somewhat unfriendly at times. While this is disappointing, it could be an isolated incident, or it may be something that the management needs to address.
Overall, the Gold Coast Aquaduck provides a fun and exciting adventure for families with children who want to explore the city by sea. Although the service could be improved, it does not significantly detract from the overall experience.
