Galveston Duck Tours

While I love the beach at Galveston, so much that my husband and I were married there, I also appreciate the history of the island.  There are sooo many fun tours you can take in Galveston, and we have taken alot of them!  But for the money, I think one of our favorites is the Galveston Duck Tours !

Of course, what everyone loves about a duck tour is that you get to go in the water!  The Galveston Duck Tour takes you into Offat’s Bayou, not the beach, off of 61st Street.  The duck drives around while a friendly and funny tour guide informs you about the birds and boats inhabiting the water around you!  My kids just loved it!  Young brown pelicans were everywhere as we descended into the water, and barely moved as we slid through their ranks!  Occassionally, we would see a pelican dive into the water, and reemerge with a fish! Seagulls harass the pelicans, even landing on their backs as they try to win the plunder!

The guides, which are all Galveston natives, also give some terrific restaurant advice for where the locals eat, such as Darlene’s Shrimp Shack on 61st!  

Although we didn’t see any on our tour, we were told that often dolphins are sighted while on the tour.  If you have your heart set more on seeing dolphins, I recommend Baywatch Dolphin Tours .

My Mommy Tips:

• The Duck doesn’t stop, so be sure you and your kids “go” before you go!
• Be sure and take a bottle of water for each person.  The open air and Gulf breezes are really nice, but on warm days you still need to stay hydrated.  I was parched after our tour!
• During the tour, take as many pictures as possible.  I took lots of pics of places I want to return to visit or sight see, restaurants they recommend, and I also nearby street signs to help us find our way back, once we were on our own.
• Everyone waves at you on the Duck Tour, and encouraging your child to wave back, especially your young child, gives them an interactive activity that allows other visitors to hear the guide.
• The best seats are at the front of the Duck!

On our most recent tour, we had such a laugh as our guide realized that a mustang convertible driving next to us had a purse sitting on the trunk! We all leaned out the vehicle yelling at the couple in the mustang until they realized and pulled over to get it!

Galveston Duck Tours

Get the best of both worlds with the Galveston Duck Tours. This amphibious vehicle can not only drive on land, but swim in the water!

Galveston Duck Tour Information

Typical tour times are daily at 11:00 AM, 12:30 PM, 2:00PM, and 4:00PM. However, the hours of operation are subject to change. The best way to find out the tour times for the day is by calling them on the phone and confirming the schedule. In addition, this exciting activity is weather-permitting.

Purchasing Tickets

In order to go on this tour, you must purchase tickets at the location where the duck loads passengers. This location is just to the left of the Pleasure Pier , across the street from Chick-fil-A. When driving down Seawall Drive, you will often see the vessel parked in its designated parking spot. The spot is marked with a sign that reads "Reserved for Duck Tours," so even if the vehicle is not there, you will be able to spot the location.

At the time of the tour, you will find an employee sitting in front of the vehicle. They will be collecting payment. We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes early in order to get the best seats and ensure you obtain a spot on the tour. The best place to sit is towards the back of the vessel. This is because you will get less wind in your face during the ride and you will be able to hear your guide more clearly.

What Will You Get on the Tour

This hour long excursion takes you up and down Seawall Boulevard. In addition, you will wind through popular and historic streets. Additionally, you will explore the Strand Historic District. When you go into the water, you will find yourselves in a popular and serene fishing bay.

Throughout the tour, your humorous guide will enlighten you with tons of information, history , and dad jokes. You'll find out about the founding families and the geography of the island. Moreover, your guide will point out popular landmarks, local favorites , and fun activities on the island. For the best bang for your buck, this is a fabulous choice and it's great for kids!

LedgerTravels has recently acquired GalvestonDucks.com, a popular destination for tourists looking for information on all things Galveston.

Idea Behind the Acquisition

This acquisition means that LedgerTravels will now have exclusive access to all of the content and assets previously owned by GalvestonDucks.com, including a team of experienced content writers who will join LedgerTravels’ writing team.

This move by LedgerTravels is a major step forward in establishing itself as the go-to source for everything related to travel and tourism to Galveston, Texas.

With its acquisition of GalvestonDucks.com, LedgerTravels now boasts an extensive library of content devoted exclusively to this city, giving potential visitors an insight into what they could expect should they choose Galveston as their vacation spot.

Not only do these writers bring extensive experience when it comes to writing about Galveston’s culture and attractions; they are also a valuable source of insight into local customs and traditions that can give readers the feeling that they’re gaining an insider’s perspective – something most other websites cannot offer.

LedgerTravels has made it clear that this acquisition should be seen as a long-term investment into improving their service offering for visitors heading to Galveston.

Ownership over all prior content such as information on Galveston Island Statepark and the Strand Historic District has been transferred. Alongside this ownership of assets gives them control over how existing pieces are presented as well as how new ones are created – allowing them to ensure that visitors receive only the best quality material every time they visit their website.

With regular updates being added on top of this already impressive collection, tourists can rest assured knowing that there’ll never be a shortage of interesting stories and facts about this captivating destination when browsing through LedgerTravels’ selection of articles.

In short, with the addition of both content and personnel from GalvestonDucks.com, LedgerTravels has taken an important step towards becoming one of the leading providers when it comes to comprehensive information related to travel and tourism in Galveston and beyond.

About GalvestonDucks.com

Galvestonducks.com was a duck tour operator and website that provided information about travel, tourism and attractions in the Galveston area. Originally founded in 2008 by three business partners who had an affinity for marine life and ducks, the company quickly became one of the most popular tour operators in the region.

The company first began offering guided duck tours of the Galveston harbor and other local sites, with customers being able to book their tours either through their website or by calling their offices directly. The team members would dress up as ducks during each tour which made them stand out from other tour operators in the area. The experienced guides were knowledgeable about all aspects of local history and wildlife, allowing customers to get a unique look at Galveston’s fascinating past.

In addition to providing guided tours, Galvestonducks.com also ran a website where they provided detailed information about various locations around Galveston such as beaches, parks, restaurants and more. They also had articles written by experts on different topics related to travel, tourism and attractions in the region. Visitors could also find helpful reviews from previous customers who had used the services of Galvestonducks.com for their duck tours or other activities around town.

As time went on, the team behind Galvestonducks.com started organizing educational programs for schools in Galveston with field trips that focused on marine life conservation awareness as well as local history topics such as pirate lore or Gulf Coast oil spill recovery efforts. The educational program was especially successful with over 5,000 students signing up within two years of its launch date.

The company also partnered up with several charities throughout its existence including Texas Children’s Hospital where they donated part of their profits to fund medical research for pediatric patients every year since 2009 up until it ceased operations in 2015 due to financial difficulties caused by decreased demand for duck tours due to a decrease in tourism at that time period.

All in all, Galvestonducks.com made a lasting impact on both visitors and locals alike during its seven-year tenure as one of most beloved Duck Tour Operators in Galveston County, Texas.

What Happens With GalvestonDucks After the Acquisition?

GalvestonDucks.com, once a popular tourist website for visitors to Galveston, Texas, is no longer reachable using Google searches.

Through the acquisition of the site by LedgerTravels, all of the traffic and content from GalvestonDucks has been redirected towards LedgerTravels. This means that upon searching through Google, visitors will now be directed to LedgerTravels instead of being able to find GalvestonDucks directly.
