Singapore DUCK Tour
Description
Not all amphibious tours are the same. The Original DUCKtours @ Suntec City is the Singapore Tourism Award Winning Attraction. First in Singapore, an impressive 20 year perfect safety record, and 1 million passengers – nothing comes close to the Original DUCKtours @ Suntec City. This hour-long adventure start with a splash into the water and swimming off like a duck for a picturesque harbour tour before climbing back on land for a city tour of the historical Civic District. Cruise along Marina Bay, where you can admire views of the bustling urban city's skyline and marvel at Singapore's most iconic landmark—the Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, the Esplanade Theatre and the towering Merlion. Your journey continues as you waddle back onto land and drive past the Singapore Flyer and into the Civic District. There you’ll see the steps of the Old Supreme Court where much of Singapore's history was made, and the War Memorial Park, a tribute to those who gave their lives during WWII.

Very interesting tour from river and on land, on a decommissioned war vehicle. View some of the major downtown residences (eg Tanjong Rhu) attractions, including the Merlin and Gardens by the Bay. Highly recommended.
Dear lonesometravels, Thank you for your wonderful 5- star review! We are so glad you enjoyed the unique land and river tour and had the chance to see some of Singapore's iconic sights. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon! Your Singapore DUCKtours Team
Great way to see the watery side of Singapore- meeting point quite easy to find. Was English tour however with all external noise( we are in an open boat- I know) found the guide quite difficult to understand. Good snd novel experience
Dear NathalieAndAndrew, Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed the unique experience and had no trouble finding our meeting point. We appreciate your feedback about the commentary and understand that the open-air nature of the DUCKtours can sometimes make it harder to hear. We will share your comments with our team as we continue to improve the guest experience. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Singapore! Your Singapore DUCKtours team
I booked the duck tour at a disappointment as Im not aware the the currency was defaulted in USD instead of SGD. Hence, I was paying more for the duck tour as a Singaporean. the trip was in English. but there are some tourist who are from China, Taiwan who does not understand English. it is best to have bilingual language
Dear Trail27087756515, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the confusion regarding the booking currency and understand your disappointment. We also appreciate your suggestion about language options. While this tour was conducted in English, we do have Mandarin-speaking DUCKtours available on selected departures. We hope to welcome you on one of these tours in the future for an even more enjoyable experience. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us. Your Singapore DUCKtours Team
Interesting tour in old noisy duck boat on land and water. Due to the noise of the vehicle and a lovely (but heavily accented) guide we were unable to hear much of the commentary. This greatly diminished the experience as we felt we missed a lot of intersting information
The only exciting thing is that the bus turns into a boat. It is very very noisy due to the continuous noise of the diesel generator making it impossible to hear anything the guide has to say. She didn’t change her position or repeat herself to ensure that everyone can hear her. Not the best conducted tour. the guide is sweet in her expression and disposition though.
Dear Madhavisd99, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found our guide sweet and pleasant. Our duck is an authentic vehicle from the Vietnam War era, and while that makes it a unique piece of history, it also means the diesel engine can be quite noisy. This tour may not be suitable for guests who are sensitive to continuous engine noise, but many visitors enjoy the rare opportunity to ride in a historic amphibious vehicle and experience the moment it transitions from a land vehicle to a boat. We appreciate your comments regarding the audibility of the tour and will share them with our team for review. Your Singapore DUCKtours Team
We did the one-hour long Duck Tour which departed from SUNTEC. You go to see some of the sights like City Hall, Mariana Bay Sands and Merlion to name a few. There was commentary along the way. Well worth doing the tour.
Dear tommomelbourne, Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed the DUCKtours. We look forward to welcoming you again real soon! Your Singapore DUCKtours Team
Nice quick fun activity with kids. Well organised and friendly staff. Gave us a great introduction to Singapore.
Great service, a bit hot if you have the fan with you will better.
Dear raveechais, Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed the service. Singapore’s weather can be warm, so bringing a fan is definitely a good tip. We hope to welcome you again soon! Your Singapore DUCKtours Team
Duck tours is a fun activity! We (family of four) had a great splash into the river and we got to see lots of sights. Unfortunately, our tour guide was very difficult to understand. The volume of the microphone was very high but unfortunately we could not understand his English very well and because he wore a face mask we couldn’t lip read either. I’m sure he had lots of interesting information to share but we really struggled to understand what he was saying and probably only captured about 10 %, this was very disappointing. Perhaps it would be possible to do a recording with headphones? Or, a teleprompter which people could read as the guide speaks? Additionally, it advertised a one-hour tour and we were back within 45 minutes. We were excited to go on this tour but felt a bit unsatisfied after.
Dear americaninswiss, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are glad your family enjoyed the splash into Marina Bay and the sights around Singapore. We are sorry to hear about the difficulty in understanding the commentary and that the tour duration did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your suggestions and will share them with our team as we continue to improve the experience for our guests. Your Singapore DUCKtours
We booked the tour because we wanted to explore the city and thought with “Duck Tours” it would be a fun experience. In itself, the tour in the vehicle is also very cool and we found it funny when we went into the water at speed. Unfortunately, however, you don't hear anything from the tour and you are only about 45 minutes away, either Singapore really has nothing to offer or the tour is only very half-hearted. However, we found them far too expensive for the price and would not recommend them.
Dear Leek161, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the unique land-to-water experience, but we are sorry that the commentary and overall value did not meet your expectations. Clear and engaging narration is an important part of the tour, and we will be reviewing this with our team to ensure improvements are made. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Your Singapore DUCKtours Team
