Duck Tours in Wisconsin Dells

A "Duck" is a vehicle, the both a car and a boat. Originally designed for world war (and given the name DUKW), a duck leave right from the edge of a railway and float in the water. While certainly not the only way to see the famous Wisconsin Dells on the water and ashore is riding in a duck of one of the unique experiences in Wisconsin.

Of course there are still other places in America to this unique amphibious army vehicles drive. Boston, offers, for example, similar tours through the town and the Charles River. The Dells, however visit see the Wisconsin River in a duck is a must - is bumpy, the "Splashdowns" (going from land to water) are intense, but it is a unique enough experience, recommend to anyone in this part of Wisconsin.

Many interesting attractions include duck tours not only the Dell itself. There are many forested trails throughout the region that are reserved only for these tours. So people on things to see no duck, you see only somewhere else. Slopes-ing on the tour company, the ducks can enter surprisingly quiet and secluded away just a few short miles sections of the wild from the bustling center of Commerce. You rotate and spin their way to the River through the forest. If you water landing, passengers can be a bit wet. From there you float the River, finally make your way back to land. Ducks are each about 20 passengers for these tours. The entire tour takes about an hour and run only during the warm season.
