"The captain driving the Duck was very fun. He was entertaining for the adults and added a great experience for my kids. I can’t believe a driver can keep a whole group safe, entertained, and educated at the same time. What a great way to see SF city. Thank you so much for a entertaining ride! You made our trip to San Francisco so memorable!"

"The Captain was UNBELIEVABLE. He made the day great. He was informative, but mostly he was crazy fun. I can only hope that he is appreciated as much by his company as he is by his riders and followers. He made the day of 1,000 people, including passerbys on the street. I will be back to ride with him again. What a great guy."

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the tour?
The perfect length. Your sightseeing adventure lasts about 90 minutes with about 25 minutes of that time on the bay. We pass by many of the important points of history and current event sites to give you an overview of the area. The uniqueness of our vehicle also allows you to interact with the street so you get a real feel for life in San Francisco. We leave you plenty of time to go back to the sites where you really want to spend more time.
Where do I buy tickets?
From this website, via the phone or at our ticket booth. As you can imagine our tours are very popular. To ensure you get a seat on the tour of your choice we recommend you purchase tickets in advance. Our phone number is 877-887-8225. If you prefer to book when you get to town, visit our ticket booth in Fisherman’s Wharf at the corner of Taylor and Jefferson Streets across from the famous Fisherman’s Wharf sign.
Are there restrooms on board?
Sorry, no room. Go before we go. There are public restroom facilities across the street on the other side of the famous Fisherman’s Wharf sign. Any of our crew will be happy to direct you to the nearest facility.
Can I take food and drink on board?
Yep. Just remember the answer to the restroom question. Sorry no alcoholic beverages.
Are you accessible to the disabled?
We can accommodate guests with disabilities, however, at least 24 hours advance notice is needed. Please do not purchase your tickets online, but call our office at 415-596-9929 to make arrangements and purchase tickets.
Will I get seasick?
Probably not. We are only on the water for about 25 minutes. Our vehicle is built to be very stable on the bay and in McCovey Cove. Plus, the water ride is very tranquil and relaxing since our water speed tops out at 7 mph.
Will I get wet?
Probably not. We try to make our entry into the water fun, but not wet. However, there may be times when a little splash will make its way onboard.
Do you have life jackets?
Yes. Enough for a vehicle full of adults, children or a mix of both. We also have a duckload of other modern safety equipment on board.
