Location

EAST QUAY, South Arm Road, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa

The Waterfront Duck Co. runs from East Quay Road, Silo District, V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. It’s South Africa’s first amphibious sightseeing experience—perfect for families, visitors, and locals alike.

🚌 Land & 🌊 Water Adventure

  • Step on board a bright yellow amphibious vehicle that starts on roads, weaving through the Silo District and Waterfront precinct, before splashing into the harbour for a maritime cruise through V&A Marina and basins.
  • The full tour lasts about 60 minutes, with roughly 30% on land and 70% afloat, narrated by entertaining and informative “ConDUCKtors” and operated by a trained “Quacktain”.

🎟 Pricing & Scheduling

  • Adults: R395 | Children (under 12): R295 | Infants (under 3): R95. Senior and group discounts available from R335 per adult.
  • Tours operate daily year-round, including multiple departures: weekdays and weekend slots vary by season (e.g. Winter departures at 09:00, 11:00, 14:00; weekends from 08:30 to 14:30) .

👥 Who Should Go

  • Families or small groups: Engaging, hassle-free adventure suitable from toddlers to travellers.
  • History buffs & photographers: Learn about the V&A's heritage and enjoy unique vantage points on water.
  • Visitors short on time: A fun, compact way to tour Cape Town’s waterfront and harbour from a fresh perspective.

💬 Visitor Highlights

  • Rated 4.8–4.9/5 by over 480 reviewers, praised for its unique concept, knowledgeable staff and storytelling flair (e.g., “absolutely fantastic… every moment was memorable”).
  • Guests consistently mention the smooth land-to-water transition, humorous guides, and learning exotic marine and harbour facts along the way.
