duck tours

Land-water excursion vehicles

Duck tours are sightseeing excursions using amphibious vehicles—originally World War II military transports called DUKWs (pronounced "ducks")—that travel on both land and water.

The tours typically roll through city streets before splashing into a river or harbor, offering views from both perspectives: We took a duck tour of Boston and drove right into the Charles River.
