I’ve been up to the Gold Coast many times over 25 years and have never done this tour but there’s a first time for everything and so I decided to give it go. We thoroughly enjoyed it and glad we did it. The captain and lovely lass tour guide were fantastic. Have already recommended to family next time they visit.

Great way to take in a different view of the gold coast sitting up high while travelling on land around the coastal drag and having a splashing time as the bus enters the water. Loved the laughter as we quacked along the river discovered a view details about the local area we didn't know. Great fun for the whole family

Perfect for families with kids or seniors! Fun alternative to river cruise as the quack'r duck vehicle cruises through the river as well with matching quacks 😆. When in land, it's taller than buses haha! The guides were so fun and witty, enjoyed their commentaries throughout the tour!

Loved our trip today. Being much higher than a car gave us a great view. Hamish and Amanda were terrific, funny and informative. Loved the Dad jokes!! Was a nice touch for the kids to get a "tattoo" at no extra cost. The merchandise was good value - also a nice change. Highly recommend ⛱️😎

The Aqua Duck activity was so much fun from start to finish. The staff were amazing — super friendly, welcoming, and so well-organised both in the store and on the boat. Everything ran smoothly, and their energy made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend to anyone visiting — such a great team and an unforgettable time!
I’d love to acknowledge the 2 staff on board today’s 11:30am, I have forgotten their names? They were awesome! We look forward to returning again!

I saw Quack r duck on tiktok days before our family trip to the goldcoast and had to squeeze in a visit. So worth making time for, land and water adventure 😍. Kids loved it, nice tour, beautiful views and our guides have a lovely spirit, makes it that much more enjoyable. Got afew souvenirs to remember the experience ❤️. The family got the whistle, hat and soft toy 🦆. Unique experience and way of exploring, so cool.

Had such a great time with Quack’r Duck! From start to finish it was fun, unique, and really well run. The experience was both exciting and relaxing, with plenty to see and enjoy along the way. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole adventure easy and enjoyable. Everything felt safe and well-organized, and it’s definitely something I’d recommend to both locals and visitors. A fantastic way to spend a day out – we’ll definitely be back!

An entertaining way to have a bit of a look around the Surfers Paradise area. Good for adults too.
You will need to be able to get up and down a handful of quite steep stairs, so a bit of a challenge for those with limited mobility.
Certainly worth a try.

We had a great time on Quack'rDuck. We have been on a similar bus/boat in Rotorua New Zealand which was fun, so was excited to try this one too and was not disappointed. Interesting commentary, friendly staff, bus was nice and clean and comfortable. They looked after our pram in their office for us, and they had some super cute souvineers to buy on board, my kids wanted it all! Our children aged 6,4, and 9months all happily sat for the duration of the trip, so great for all ages!

Such an enjoyable experience. The guide was so funny! But be warned. Lots of kids and lots of families. This is not for couple who wants a quiet tour. It is very vibrant and very informative for tourists! Oh, and when it goes into the water, it is like seeing a car transforming into robot! I found it so fascinating and it was calming in the sea. So, if you can wait until they get to water to have some quiet couple moments, still do! I honestly felt like the tour was so short. I wanted to go on again at the end even though I was an adult XD

Last-minute decision, but it turned out to be a great surprise when a beautiful lady made an effort to squeeze us into the last tour during the wonderful sunset time. She claimed that it would be the highlight of our trip, and she was absolutely right. The team was highly professional and customer-friendly. The captain and his knowledgeable crew provided us with a delightful and unforgettable experience. Personally, I highly recommend this service and company for your tour.

We went to gold coast and booked in group on for tickets as there is discount. We called them and booked date and timing for our tour. It us one hour journey with 30 min drive in water .the driver and guide are very friendly and keeps on telling about surfers paradise as the trip goes on. It's good experience and I recommend it very much. Kids love it. They do take pictures on our phones. The guide came to every family and takes pics for them. They do sell quack duck related items. They did free temporary tattoo for kids as an activity. They planned 1 hour journey beutiful. It is very close to surfers paradise and walkable distance from novotel

Great fun adventure for families to see some sights of Gold Coast. The duck mobile drives on land and also through the waterways. The driver and guide provided great info on some of the expensive houses and who owns/owned them. Approx an hour and fifteen minutes. Totally worth a venture.

We both enjoyed the experience. I was thrilled to find a carpark with lift directly beside the pick up zone. The cost was minimal.
Also the pick up location is very close to kerbside dining , so we had a lovely meal close by after finishing the tour.

It is a nice way to explore Gold Coast and fun for children . The Captain was excellent and enthusiastic whilst the moderator had a boring and one tone voice , in these trips you need a positive moderator and tone of his voice changes .
Why I have given them 3 stars is that there is no seat belt on board , and can be dangerous for kids . They need to seriously look into having seat belts . I don’t understand how permission is given for these buses with no seat belts on.

Our guide was knowledgeable of the area. Lots of fun facts and jokes for the kids. They use your phone to take photos of you on board rather than charge for a photo, cute temporary tattoos given to the kids, and souvenirs were available for a fee on board.
We had a great time and would highly recommend for any tourist - especially families with young kids.

A really fun ride with the family on Quark'r'Duck. The tour takes about an hour to go through a few famous locations in the Main Beach area on Gold Coast. It's pretty exciting to see how a little all-wheel drive bus turns into a boat. It's safe and fun for kids as well. Highly recommend.
Reservations are required and make sure you arrive at their bus stop 15 minutes prior or you may miss the bus.

My family and I with three kids age 3,11,14 went on the quackaduck it was amazing we had such a fantastic time exploring the city and then hearing about all the mansions that line the harbour, we were worried that this was a bit of a cheaper version of the well-known Aquaduck we had nothing to be worried about in fact I think our experience was a lot more fun than those aboard the Aquaduck highly recommend it would definitely do it again.
