Laiken, James and Brian were excellent. Felt safe and learned a bit about the Branson area.

While I enjoyed the views of this tour, our group found the entire experience to be very annoying and irritating. To begin with, I purchased tickets online. This was an easy process and went smoothly. However, afterwards I received an email to sign the waivers for every ticket purchased. They were signed with ease and I figured that was the end of it. A couple of days later I received an email asking for additional signatures of waivers. Those were signed (because I thought maybe I had forgotten one.) A day later I received ANOTHER notice to sign. I had been saving all of the emails from the waivers and I knew every one of them had been signed. When I mentioned this to the woman at the ticket desk, she laughed it off and said that it happens all of the time. When it was time for the ride, we boarded with no problem. The tour guide, Luis, was incredibly loud but I figured it would get better as we went along. I was VERY wrong. His horrible guiding and lack of good information made this trip a terrible experience. He tried to make jokes but they were inappropriate and annoying at best. At one point he talked about a store that sells dinosaur poop. He went on and on for WAY too long about how to trick co-workers that you don't like and make them rub the poop on their skin. It was highly inappropriate. Several people on this tour actually had their ears plugged with their fingers to attempt to drown him out. The captain obviously knew what he was doing, but he was incredibly impersonal. He never smiled and barely spoke a word to any of the passengers. They both missed an incredible opportunity to discussed the history of the DUCK vehicles as well. That would have been cool information to know. All in all, I honestly would not recommend this tour unless there were some MAJOR changes. Don't waste your money.

Great ride, and driver and tour guide were friendly and enjoyed the ride and on the lake!! Beautiful day and beautiful lake.. We thought it was be a little longer ride. We didn't get a the duck thing, even though we had a coupons, we did read the coupons

Had a great time on this today! Luis was a great tour guide, great sense of humor and very knowledgeable too. Highly recommend this fun tour of Brandon.

Great time!! Charlie was an amazing guide and a lot of fun! Learned a lot about the area too!

Family Reunion!

Fun tour, safety first, with Luis as guide, very knowledgeable with a great since of humor.

Fun fun fun if you want air conditioning go to a show or a museum. If you want a land and lake tour look no further! Kids blowing the duck whistle's families anticipate the fun yet to come. We finally board the vessel and the fun began. Our guide was new but very knowledgeable. He him told us many facts about the history of Branson and Lake Taneycomo also a couple thing to do that don't cost anything but you will hafta ride to know that inside information. My wife and I were very satisfied and will recommend to our friends.

Stopped in on a whim to ride with my grandsons since the last time we rode was in 2015 and in 2026 when they were much smaller. I have been so excited to have this attraction back in Branson since I only live 35 miles away now that we have retired here. I felt very safe on these boats but then again I always felt safe in the other ones as well. I REALLY wish they would do free quackers with the ride like they did before. But good ones. The quackers they sell for 5 bucks don't even quack loud and the harder you blow the more silent they get.. One of the funnest things about the prior boats, was these crazy loud quacker things and as we were going on the ride we would all quack at everyone walking by. It was so much fun and everyone got involved. Bring the good quackers back and let's have some DUCK BOAT FUN!!!

What a fun time! My family and I really enjoyed learning a little more about Branson & getting out onto the water for a little while. I would recommend booking this early because they sell out quick! Also - book this at the beginning of your trip. Charlie (our tour guide) had FANTASTIC recommendations!

Laikin, James and Brian were FABULOUS drivers and tours guides. Don't take Laikin's Dads tour as he isn't near as funny!! Just kidding!! Totally enjoyed the tour!!!

Branson Duck Tours - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

Ride The Ducks this Holiday Season

If you visit Branson without your own car, you can still take a tour around Branson. In fact, Branson offers you a unique and fun way to get around the area and to see the magnificent night lights in the town. Ride the Ducks  is one of Branson’s unique attractions which enables you to take a tour around Branson – by land and by lake. Ride the Ducks uses a marine vehicle that will take you across the landscapes of the Ozarks and let you explore the lakes area of Branson, too. The vehicle was called a “duck” for its amphibian nature because it can thrive on both land and water. This vehicle is proven to be very safe for tours. Its speed in the water can reach up to 7 mph to make sure that you have a peaceful ride.

The duck tours in Branson typically lasts for about 60 to 70 minutes long, and each tour spends 25 minutes in the waters. Tickets for the Ride the Ducks are mostly bought in advance because of the high demand for this attraction. Get $3 savings when you book a tour before 11 AM. You can also have your Ride the Ducks tickets bundled with tickets for Dixie Stampede or the Titanic Museum for more Branson fun. For advanced ordering of tickets, just visit www.branson.ridetheducks.com or call 1-877-887-8225. You can also get your tickets personally by visiting Duck Central on the Strip or the ticket kiosk at Branson Landing. Ride the Ducks also accommodates groups, so you can make your reunion or field trip to Branson even more memorable. A duck vehicle can board up to 35 people, and there are 18 duck vehicles available. Some Branson restaurants also offer a meal package along with your duck tour.

If you are planning for your Branson tour to last for more than a day, then you need a lodging place that is close to the heart of Branson. Book your stay in Thousand Hills Golf Resort, as it is very near the city of Branson as well as the Ozark Mountains too. You get to have convenience by being near all the main attractions, plus you get to have a very relaxing ambiance. For inquiries and reservations, dial 1-877-262-0430.
