We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Captain Bob was informative and entertaining, providing nitty-gritty info about the historical district, which musicians have performed in various venues over the years, and a peek at Austin culture. My grandkids enjoyed steering the boat in the Lake. A great time during our visit to Austin.
I moved from Chicago to Austin at 17 YOA to join the Army back in 2000. I have called Austin/Lakeway my permanent residence since getting out of the Army circa 2013. All of that is to say Austin has changed a lot since 2000! My wife and I made a quick decision to take a tour with Austin Duck Adventures to catch up on some city history/information while having fun. While the tour bus was almost completely packed full with all ages from young children to seniors, I was still comfortable and able to hear the guide perfectly fine. I don't remember his name other than it started with a "J". The driver's name was Kirk, or so they said, and I only remember that because they joked about the city's mayor having the same name. The drive was smooth and comfortable on and off the road and the guide was very friendly and entertaining For the most part you will travel on Cesar Chavez from the Austin's visitors center to out past Redbud St and Mozart's coffee where they drive into the water. It was a great way to spend 75 or so minutes and reacquaint my wife and I with this ever changing city.
I thoroughly enjoy this experience. It’s a great way to learn about Austin without just driving around in the traffic. Yes you can do it yourself but nothing beats the experience Don gave us. 10/10 recommend. Being in the water was probably my favorite part and also quacking at people. I was such a big kid.
Capt Bob was an amazing tour guide for our company team building! Funny, engaging and overall just a delight! We have many from Austin area but also from outside of Austin. We got to see downtown Austin and Lake Austin all while quacking at people on the street. Enjoyed this tour for our 30 group of people! Highly recommend and would even do again!
Austin Duck Adventures was an absolute highlight of our Austin trip! From start to finish, the experience was fun, informative, and incredibly well organized. The tour is a perfect mix of sightseeing, history, and entertainment, making it enjoyable for both adults and kids. The guide was energetic, friendly, and very knowledgeable about Austin’s history, landmarks, and quirky local facts. He kept the entire group engaged with humor, stories, and interactive moments, which made the tour feel lively rather than scripted. Seeing Austin from both land and water in the iconic amphibious vehicle was truly unique and exciting—especially the splash into Lake Austin, which was a big hit! The views of the city skyline, Congress Avenue, and the lake were beautiful, and the tour gave us a great overview of Austin in a short amount of time. Safety was clearly a priority, and everything was explained clearly, making the experience comfortable and stress-free. If you’re visiting Austin or even a local looking to experience the city in a different way, Austin Duck Adventures is a must-do. It’s fun, family-friendly, and a fantastic way to learn about the city while having a great time. Highly recommended!

My family had a blast on this tour. Sean, the tour guide, was funny and informative. He expertly drew attention to various historical landmarks, locations of interesting occurrence and famous residences. He injected his wonderful humor, clever observations and fascinating stories in a cadence reminiscent of Dusty Slay! Even as an Austin Metro area resident, I learned a lot and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this tour.

We had a local staycation and had a great time at Odd Duck and Austin Duck Adventures. I’ve been wanting to do the tour for years and finally made it happen. It did not disappoint. Thanks Captain Bob! Learned lots of random facts about Austin.

Had an amazing time! I took the 3 PM tour with Roberto, he was hilarious, very entertaining, and I loved the way he engaged the crowds on and off the bus!
