Bay Quackers Duck Tour
-
A wacky land and sea tour of San Francisco in a decommissioned WWII amphibious vehicle called a "DUKW" and nicknamed a "Duck".
Before the tour, the guide distributes plastic yellow “quackers” and leads everyone in a little warm-up exercise. During the tour, passengers are encouraged to quack at passersby, locals, and tourists, many of whom actually quack back (this alone is worth the price of the tour for me, and frankly restores my faith in humanity).
The 90-minute tour takes you through Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach, Chinatown, and Union Square. At China Basin (south of AT&T Park), the Duck magically morphs into a boat, and everyone gets a chance to drive (kids included).
I'm a fan of these tours for the same reason I like the motorized cable car tours: you can see something of the city while sitting on your butt. Who doesn't need a little rest while traveling with kids?
