Our party of three took a “duck tour” while in Hot Springs. A duck is a Navy surplus vehicle that runs both on land and water, that originally carted sailors from ship to shore so that they could be shot by whomever awaited them. Now, it's a vehicle to cart tourists around Hot Springs. One of our party remembered doing... More

LAUGH A MINUTE! Best Duck tour we have ever been on. But then it’s the only Duck tour we have ever been on. The guide was hilarious, kept us in stitches the whole trip. And he was very educated on local history in the Hot Springs area. The next time we are through here, we will definitely do it again. More

We took this tour because of what it proposed to cover. We don´t know Hot Springs so we were looking for an overview of the area, including history, geography, etc.. Our Captain, Tommy "aka the Teacher" was strange. Most of the tour was all about him. He kept sayint "quack quack", and trying to scare us that he didn´t know... More

My family and I took the duck boat tour on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. We rode with Captain Crunch and he was a blast. He provided a great mix of historical information, humor, wit and plain fun. The drive to Lake Hamilton isn't overly exciting, but its worth the wait to have the experience of taking a vehicle and suddenly... More

I visit Hot Springs frequently and have ridden the Ducks a few times over the years with friends who were new to the area. The quality of the tour really all depends on your driver. We had a great guide (Landon) this trip that kept us laughing the whole time. The tour is fun and usually very informative, however, at... More

There isn't really much to Hot Springs, or so it would seem from the Duck tour. The focus seemed to be more on the half car/half boat vehicle than the actual history of the town, which I would have loved to learn more about. They spent a lot of time promoting the other tourist attractions owned by the same family... More

This was more entertaining than I thought it would be. You see a different side of Hot Springs with a mini history lesson included. More
