Plus, you can learn more about how the company is operating during the current environment to keep guests safe.
About Boston Duck Tours
The Duck Boat tour is 80-minutes in length and depart from the Prudential Center, The New England Aquarium, and the Museum of Science. However, sometimes you can get better deals if you leave from one location over another. (There are usually fewer deals and specials from the New England Aquarium location, for example).

In addition to ongoing deep disinfecting procedures, Boston Duck Tours has reduced capacity to keep guests safely spaced apart, added hand sanitizer stations, instituted a mask policy requiring face coverings for all staff and guests, and more.
