How much does it cost to go to Galveston Duck Tours?
Great Introduction to Galveston! The cost for a one hour tour is $30 and I was pleased with the tour.
Why did Duck Tours close?
As fleets aged and more duck tours hit the road, accidents increased. Since then, there have been numerous serious and fatal accidents that have resulted in a number of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits filed against the company alleging negligence.
Why is it called a duck tour?
Though the origin of this term is unknown, it probably refers to the odd shape of the vehicle. DUKWs became known as “Ducks” and are still in use, as well as purpose-built amphibious tour buses, primarily as tourist transport in harbor and river cities.
How does the duck tour work?
This hour-long adventure starts with a city tour of the historical Civic District, before splashing into the water and swimming off like a duck for a picturesque Marina Bay harbour tour. DUCKtours depart hourly from 10:00 to 18:00. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your tour to redeem your ticket and check-in.
