Guests of Branson, Missouri hotels looking for a unique experience can enjoy a guided tour that’s fun for the whole family when they Ride the Ducks! This tour is unlike any other in town, because once Branson, Missouri guests board the Duck, they’ll be taken on a tour both by land and sea—all on one vehicle!

Ride the Ducks offers two different tours leaving from launch spots at separate ends of Branson, Missouri. Branson, Missouri visitors can choose from the Classic Table Rock Lake Adventure or the New Branson Landing Adventure. Riders will travel through town to either Table Rock Lake or Lake Taneycomo, and enjoy fun and music with the history and sights of Branson, Missouri.

Branson, Missouri’s Ride the Ducks is especially fun because the tours take place aboard DUKWs – amphibious trucks that are made to drive on land but act like boats in water. DUKW’s are similar to vehicles that were used in WWII to ferry supplies from ships offshore to troops inland. Today, the Ride the Ducks fleet in Branson, Missouri are built from the ground up and meet strict U.S. Coast Guard safety regulations.

Each Duck is driven by a licensed captain who not only brings laughter and fun to the tour, but is also an expert on the history and culture of Branson, Missouri. Upon boarding, each guest receives a free “Wacky Quacker” to quack along with the captain during the tour. Since kids are very special guests on the Branson, Missouri tour, they are invited to join the captain and help drive the boat.
