Three of our party of four had enjoyed the Duck Boat experience in Chattanooga before. It was just as much fun the second time around! Captain Rob again was a great tour guide, captain and safety officer. Duck boat tour is now our must do every visit to Chattanooga! If you have any aspiring young boat captains in your group, you definitely want to let them try out their duck boat driving skills. read more

It was a good tour with lots of interesting information. I wish the ducks could have gone faster and signage was better. read more

Chattanooga Ducks - The Grand kids will never forget this experience or Capt Berry! What a great guide! - Boat Tours Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Dick tours are a great way to come into a city and learn iota history and in such a delightful way. Our guide was full of deep insights, historical facts as well as fun colorful and clean stories. Unfortunately.... I was the first to sign up on the 6pm duck tour with confirmation and all.... When a large group came in and booked. Chattanooga Duck removed my reservation for two in order to book a full tour boat. --then 'forgot' to call and tell us until 20 minutes before the 4: tour that had space availability. A little unfair. We quickly ran to the 4; and the guide waited for us .... The 4: tour was awesome. Tour guide awesome! The guide itself was well worth5-STAR. Maybe even more..... but the unfair treatment was not only mean-spirited.it was malicious. read more

Barry was such a great host. I recommend this for anybody who hasn't been on this ride, especially if you've lived in Chattanooga for years like I have and never been on this ride. It was definitely an experience. Barry deserves a raise. read more

Fantastic family friendly tour, highly recommend. Went for the amphibious vehicle experience, but enjoyed the tour and information provided.

Fun and informative way to spend an hour or so on a sunny afternoon. Captain Rob was friendly and entertaining. It would have been nice to spend a little more time on land to see some of the inland highlights, but overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommend for all ages. read more

This tour is great, we had an awesome time, both fun & relaxing at the same time. Our tour guide Barry was amazing, beyond our expectation and friendly/fun. We recommend this tour to both locals and tourist! read more

This was a great way to learn about Chattanooga! Captain Barry was entertaining and knowledgeable. Glad we did this instead of the Southern Belle Ferry. read more

It was an awesome experience the Duck captain (Rob)did an amazing job of our scenic city Chattanooga, Tennessee. We have lived here all our lives and this was so much fun and interesting. I actually think I would enjoy the duck tour more on just the river than the streets. its worth it. Great job Captain Rob. The Daniel family read more

Captain Barry was incredibly engaging and entertaining We started on land with a narrated tour of the industrial and rail history of CHA followed by a plunge into the Tennessee River for more entertainment and education. Well worth the price. I suggest going at the beginning of your trip as sone of what you learn will give you ideas for the remainder of your visit read more

Captain Barry was amazing and shared so many interesting stories and fascinating history. He's absolutely a fabulous ambassador for Chattanooga and Chattanooga Ducks. This activity is a must do for visitors with kids and teens. read more

Great time on this excursion. Captain Barry was very knowledgeable and great with the children on board. Would recommend this instead of the Southern Belle cruise! read more

Our guide, Steve, was great. We learned the history of the boat and a lot of interesting facts about Chattanooga. Riding around town was enjoyable. Enjoy the interesting information about the city. Driving into the water on the amphibious vessel was the best part. The duck boat is very slow in the water and there was very little breeze so it was pretty hot. They allowed us to bring on alcohol purchased from inside the Southern Belle (where you pick up your chip for entry). The gas fumes could be overwhelming at times due to the lack of breeze but overall a fun 1 hour trip read more

We love the Chattanooga duck tours! We've done them multiple times and it never gets old. It's so fun from the young to the young at heart lol. They even give the kids (and big kids if they want) a chance to drive the truck while out on the water. Always a thrill for the kids! Tons of cool facts and history on the tour as well. I recommend everyone do a duck tour when in the area it's one of my favorite excursions! read more

Such a fun outing. The guides are great and the ride is fun! You learn a lot of history and information along the tour.

It was a lot of fun and Barry was very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend if you are in the Chattanooga area!!

Such a fun way to see Chattanooga! Captain Alex was awesome and funny and we learned so much about the city! A must do activity with or without kids! read more

Really cool tour and super friendly staff.

Our tour was very fun and informational - little bit of something for all ages! Captain Barry was amazing. Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

We took our granddaughter. Our tour guide was Capt Rob. Very entertaining and educational. Highly recommend

If you're hitting up the aquarium this is worth tacking onto your trip since it's right next door. You enter the Tennessee River on an amphibious vehicle known as a duck, driving fast into the water, it's fun! The time on the river is not particularly long and you don't go very fast, but our tour guide was super knowledgeable and funny, and let some of us "drive" the vehicle. We got to hear a lot about Chattanooga history. If that doesn't interest you and you're the more active sort, kayaking on the river might be more up your alley but this is perfect for families and history buffs. They sometimes have online deals for tickets, ask when you go! We went on a rainy weekday and had the duck mainly to ourselves, no trouble getting tickets. read more

A great activity for the whole family. The guides keep adults and children entertained. Highly recommend.

We had Captain Barry who was very funny and animated. We enjoyed the local trivia, and kids got to drive the boat. There was not a road tour, which was really disappointing as the boats really don't go very fast in the water, so it would have felt more like an experience if the road portion had been included. Captain Barry made several references to drinking, and smoking substances that were not really kid friendly. He also did a lot of teasing, which was mostly well-received. He did make my oldest son cry. All in all a fun experience, but not one we will repeat. Wish I had found a coupon. read more

This was such a great tour. Captain Rob was extremely knowledgeable about Chattanooga's history and there was plenty for the kids if that "bored" them. Something for everyone. Ride was about 1 hour to 1.5 hours long which is just enough for the littles. Pretty cool to be on both land and sea in the same vehicle! read more

Such a fun way to get a little Chattanooga history! Captain was great, knowledgeable and entertaining! Highly recommend!

Touristy...Perhaps! Fun...Definitely! Driving into a river was strangely exhilarating, until you think about the fact that land vehicles don't normally float. Then you hold your breath and prepare to make a mad dash to the life vests stored overhead, until your guide turns on the boat motor and you can breathe again! Our guide, Dave was great! He had the Jimmy Buffet vibe going on! He kept us entertained with history, fun facts about the city, and lots of laughs. He allowed the kids (and a 60 something birthday boy) to drive the boat. It was an affordable, fun way to see the city from a different perspective. read more

Highly recommend Chattanooga Ducks! The hubs and I were staying in Chattanooga for a week and wanted something to do other than eat (lol). This was a fun and informative way of learning about and seeing Chattanooga. Our captain was very personable and knowledgeable. We booked online and check-in was a breeze. They have a little spot in downtown Chattanooga. There's a paid parking lot across from them and street parking available. After check-in, we were "assigned" a boat and a tour guide. There are two tours at a time, or at least during our reservation time. After going over some rules, our boat headed to the boat ramp. The tour lasted an hour or so and was well worth the $24/person! The length of the tour was perfect, not too long but not too short either. Our captain made it enjoyable, even in the 90+ degree weather. This was our very first duck tour, and if duck tours at other cities are anything like this, then I'm doing one at every city I visit! read more

Absolutely worth every penny! Request captain Barry! Fun, energetic, and knowledgeable! No dull moments and it's perfect for all ages! read more

Our guide Captain Berry was phenomenal! He was a barrel of laughs and overall very welcoming. I recommend him because he WILL talk to you and give you history read more

Barry rocks!! Been to Chattanooga many times over the last few years with kids in college there. Our group of 7 did Duck tour for the 1st time & all enjoyed it.....14 to 79 years old!! Our young adults who have lived there a few years learned a lot while we all had fun! Thanks Barry read more

we had a great time our captain was the best!!! i would recommend this to all a must do

Captain Rob was the best! Learned a lot of neat facts and history about this cool town! I've been around this area my whole life and didn't know anything about the town. Loved the duck ride obviously, but next time we are requesting to go down the ramp backwards. read more

My husband and I tried this for the first time with some friends and we absolutely loved it! Our driver, Captain Barry was AWESOME! He was so much fun and so knowledgable about the Chattanooga area. He took the time to talk to the other riders and get to know them. He definitely made the ride even better! We would absolutely do this again! read more

What a neat adventure we had on this. We took a group of seniors which included veterans, one which was in WWII. . Our tour guide Barry was the best! He gave us so much information about Chattanooga! I would recommend you check this out when visiting Chattanooga TN read more

Captain Rob was great! Loved his humor and overall friendliness with all the guests. It was my first duck tour and I loved it. I loved learning about the history of the vehicle as well as the history of the river. Definitely a must see!! read more

Went with my boyfriend. First time for both of us. The weather was perfect. The gents who checked us in were super friendly and funny. We hung around the gift shop for a while until it was time to board. We had Capt. Dave. Very nice guy and has many years as a Capt. under his belt which made me feel good. He's been in Chattanooga for 20 years and is very knowledgeable. It was just cool knowing that these vehicles are genuine and not replicas. He also spent time talking with me and my bf for a few minutes after the tour. One major flaw with these ducks. I wish it was posted somewhere to give fair warning to those of us who are chemical sensitive. Heck, I don't even think you need to chem. sensitive to complain about this. If diesel exhaust fumes bother you, DO NOT SIT IN THE FRONT RIGHT HAND SEAT! I spent 75% of my tour with burning eyes, lungs and my face tucked into my blouse to help me breathe. It's not only fumes, it's HOT fumes straight from the engine right into your face. There was no way to switch seats. Unbeknownst to me, my boyfriend was suffering too. (he's the quiet one) I thought it was just me. It took us about an hour after the ride to "detox". (queasy belly, headache and dizziness). We also stunk the rest of the day. It's really is a fun time. Look for the Groupon! Just know where to sit! read more
