We were recently visiting Gold Coast for a weekend away and let our 5 year old and 7 year old choose between a few touristy things to do and they chose the Aquaduck. The fact that they would get to drive the boat was the deciding factor for them and me as it seemed like it would be very exciting... More

Didn't appreciate the sexism and racism that Gareth gave and also the bad comments made about the competitive company. Would not recommend. I would not do it again.

My kids really loved the ride especially when it got in the water. We saw dolphins and the exciting part was when the captain let the kids drove the vehicle while in the water, then had their Aquaduck driver's licence after that. Really recommend this for families visiting the Gold Coast.

We took our 3 kids on the Aquaduck and it was great ! When it went from the road to the water the kids loved it and we enjoyed it much more then some of the other cruises we have been on. The trip is short about 1 hour and the staff commentary is good without being intrusive and also... More

This is great for kids. If you haven't been to Surfers Paradise before you will enjoy the trip. It takes you around land and points out interesting aspects of luxury homes it then "dives " into the water and takes you to view more luxury homes, this time though, by the water. The jokes are a bit corny but take... More

We'd done the other cruises available on previous visits so this time, with two 9 year old grandchildren in tow, we thought we'd do something that we knew they'd love so a trip on the Aquaduck was it. The children thought it was amazing that a bus could turn into a boat and then they got to drive it when... More

Trust your instincts: this is as dreadful as it looks. The kids loved it but they love most things and must be forgiven because of their age. On the positive side, the kids get to drive the "Duck" on the water for a minute. The downsides are more plentiful: noisy duck whistles available for purchase which all the kids buy... More

Aquaduck what a great family cruise around the the Gold Coast canals and get a guided beach tour of Surfers paradise. The kids will love it, on the road and then in the water all in the same trip. Great value for money and great friendly staff. Well done guys and girls
