A Galveston Duck Tours amphibious Duck boat splashing into the bay

Galveston's Original Duck Tour

Family-run on the Seawall since 1998 · Galveston, TX

Roll down the Seawall, then splash straight into the Gulf — one hour of history, laughs and salt air aboard a restored WWII amphibious Duck.

The Ride

Part street tour. Part boat ride. All Galveston.

Climb aboard a restored WWII DUKW — a true land-and-water amphibious vehicle — for about an hour of sightseeing that ends somewhere most tours can't go: the water.

  • Cruise past Galveston's landmarks by land, then drive right into the bay.
  • Fascinating local & WWII history, told with light-hearted comedy.
  • About one hour of fun for every age, from grandparents to grandkids.

A little history

Our Ducks share their bloodline with the DUKW, the amphibious workhorse first built in the 1940s to carry troops and supplies straight from ship to shore in World War II. Restored and ready for the Gulf, that same land-and-water magic now carries you.
