It's a Bus... It's a Boat... It's the Portland Ducks!!!

It’s part bus, part boat, and all duck, and it’s giving visitors and natives alike a unique look at Portland.

The Portland Ducks provide informational tours of the city on both land and water with the help of their amphibious tour bus.

Portland Ducks Land & Water Tours recently celebrated their 1st Anniversary of guiding people on informational tours through the city’s streets and waterways, using just one multi-functional vessel.

The amphibious experience is made possible through the use of a U.S. Coast Guard Certified Hydra Terra tour vehicle. The amphibious bus (also known as a “Duck”) seats 46 passengers, a Coast Guard certified Captain, and a trusty first mate/tour guide.

Scheduled tours are now available twice daily on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. You can also contact Portland Ducks to schedule your own private chartered tour or school field trip.

The Portland Ducks can be reached by phone at 1-877-GO-BY-DUCK, or check out their website, www.portlandducks.com.
