Galveston Duck Tours

2415 Seawall Blvd · Galveston, TX

Why you should go…

Galveston Duck Tours takes riders through the Strand Historic District, past Seawall Boulevard's Gulf views and historic mansions, before splashing into Offatts Bayou aboard a restored World War II era DUKW vehicle. A captain narrates the roughly hour-long land and water route with local history and humor. Tours run several times daily and tickets are sold in person at the departure point near 25th Street and the Seawall.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
