We have rode the ducks on previous occasions and always enjoy it. I must say each captain puts his/her own spin on the ride. Some talk more about the history of the area and others make jokes and make it a comedy tour. Our captain was Captain Gramps on this most recent experience. He was pretty good. His sound equipment...

We've rode the Ducks multiple times. Always enjoyable. One of our favorite things is they let the young kids take turns driving the boat when we're out in the middle of the lake. The kids loved that. Very corny humor. More

Riding the Ducks is one of those must does in Branson. It has been around forever, so they've got it down pat. Continuous flow of Ducks, so the wait is minimum. Even when you do wait, it's under an airy shaded area with live "entertainment". They are very pro military, thus a military discount is offered. I personally did not... More

We were not sure what exactly to expect. I had read up on the Ducks and how everyone seemed to enjoy it. So I wanted to plan it. We had our ride on Saturday at 10:30 AM. The captain was Captain Preach. The Captain was funny and kept your attention the whole time. I don't know how you drive a... More

I have taken the "Ride the Ducks" trip in Branson, MO several times. Each time I always see something I haven't seen before. The views from Table Rock Lake are fantastic! You get a Duck quacker and quack at other "Ducks" as they pass by you. The captains for the ride are very informative and funny at times. Great for... More

Being almost 40 and loving this so much makes me want to laugh! The Captain was funny and informative. It was fun steering the Duck on the lake, having my own official certificate as a Duck Captain. Great being outdoors too. I love my quacker- fun to keep for sure! More

Friends joined me in April and we rode the Ducks. They were from Texas and Arkansas. We all enjoyed it. And we see it differently with each drivers personality. It makes it fun. Since My friends and I don't get to see each other often we documented it with photos from the things we did together. We all laughed and... More
