Albany Aqua Ducks Tour

Albany Aqua Ducks Tour in Albany, New York

If only the Albany Aqua Ducks were around when I were a kid.

I remember taking trips to Albany as a child to visit my Grandparents. I remember the Egg, the State Museum, and riding the bus around downtown Albany with my Grandpa.

The years passed and so did my Grandparents. It has probably been a good 15 years before I returned to Albany—and I’m glad I did. The first this we did upon arrival to town was taking a tour with the Albany Aqua Ducks.

If you’ve ever done a duck tour in US city, you’ll know they’re not only fun, but a great way to get an introduction to the city you’re in.

Albany is not exactly on a lot of people’s tourist radar, which is really what makes a trip to Albany enjoyable—because you’ll be discovering a lot. This goes right along with the city’s tourism slogan: An Amazing Discovery. Albany is a historically rich city and we learned tons on our Aqua Ducks Tour.

If you’re not familiar with the “duck tour” it’s an amphibious vehicle tour offering a unique, educational and fun-filled way to see the city. In Albany, you’ll see the historic sites and then splash into the Hudson River for a mariner’s view of the skyline.
