Charter a Boston Duck

Fun 80 Minute Duck Charter - Maximum 32 Guests

You've never toured Boston in anything that comes close to Boston Duck Tours.

CHARTERS: Full DUCK - Maximum 32 people for a standard 80 minute tour leaving from Prudential Center or Museum of Science. Price includes a 10% driver gratuity. $50.00 charge for pre-arranged alternate pick up or drop off location.

The fun begins as soon as you board your "DUCK", an authentic, renovated World War II amphibious landing vehicle. First, you'll be greeted by one of our legendary tour ConDUCKtors, who'll be narrating your tour. Then you're off on a journey like you've never had before. You'll cruise by all the places that make Boston the birthplace of freedom and a city of firsts, from the golden-domed State House to Bunker Hill and the Fleet Center, Boston Common and Copley Square to the Big Dig, Government Center to fashionable Newbury Street, Quincy Market to the Prudential Tower, and more.

And, as the best of Boston unfolds before your eyes, your ConDUCKtor will be giving you lots of little known facts and interesting insights about our unique and wonderful city.

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, the kind of view you just won't get anywhere else.

So take the ride of your life. Hop on a Boston Duck Tour!

History unfolds before your eyes as you explore Boston aboard our unique DUCKs. You'll view diverse forms of architecture, examine local art and learn about Boston's lore and legend. And, never before has history been this much fun. Our ConDUCKtors, in character and costume, bring the history of Boston to life. But, don't let their entertaining nature fool you-- they take their knowledge so seriously that they'll gladly accept your History Challenge questions if you dare!

About the DUCKS

During the early days of World War ll, the allies were faced with a tough tactical problem: how could they unload cargo and men from their ships in places where the dock facilities had been destroyed or simply did not exist? The answer was to unload cargo directly over the beach. But how?

The demands of war, along with technical know-how and old fashioned Yankee ingenuity combined to create the perfect solution: A vehicle that was half boat and half truck, that could run on land and water. Code-named DUKW (see where we get the name?), the first "DUCK" was actually a GMC truck enclosed in a water-tight shell.

It wasn't long before DUKWs were playing a crucial role in the allied invasions in Sicily, the Pacific, and the biggest invasion of all, D-Day. In fact, more than 40% of all over-beach supplies in Normandy were transported by DUKWs during the first four months. So today, you're not only having the ride of your life, you're riding on a proud part of American history.
