Boston Duck Tours

Get a glimpse of Boston through all mediums: past (history), present (history in the making), by land, and by sea.

This fun boat tour takes visitors around the city to all the big landmarks, then on the Charles River for a panoramic view of the sky line. The vehicle is a converted World War II DUKW that has the capability to run on water.

These tours are educational and interesting, but can be very costly. Adults run $29, and children are $19. There are discounted prices for students, seniors, active duty military members and children under 3.

Tours depart daily from the Museum of Science and the Shops at Prudential Center. Tickets booths open at 8:30am and the first tour of the day leaves at 9am. Tours run every half hour until 7pm during peak season and 6pm during the shoulder season. Be sure to purchase tickets early as tours fill up very quickly. Each tour is 80 minutes long and as seats are first come first choice, make sure you get to your departure location at least 30 minutes prior to your tour.

Many times the captain(driver)"aka conDUCKtor" will let an eager tourist run the vehicle while it is on the river.
