Gold Coast Party Cruise
Thinking the aquaduck is just for kids? Think again. Our Secrets Scandals and Sunsets tour is an entertaining and unique option for a party cruise on the Gold Coast. Perfect for groups to enjoy pre drinks before you go out into Surfers. Great for a girls night out, hens night bucks nights or corporate parties.
What to expect on your Gold Coast party cruise aboard the Aquaduck:
What better idea than relaxing on the beautiful waterways of the Gold Coast to celebrate your next special event. Did you know you can hire out an iconic Aquaduck for your very own party cruise?! Your group can alight in Cavill Ave, Surfers Paradise where everyone will be poured a celebratory beverage and settle in to the ride ahead. There is no better way to take in the sights of Surfers from up high in the “Duck Bus” while you cruise through the streets.
You will make your way to The Spit where the bus will launch into the water and suddenly you’re floating!! Top up everyone’s glasses to now absorb the beauty of the Gold Coast from the water. Your Captain will provide as much or as little commentary as you like. Be entertained by the backstories of Gold Coast glitterati and listen to some chill tunes to get the party going.
The LARC-V (Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo)
The LARC-V was the original name of the famous Aquaduck you can ride on today. Developed and built in America in the 1950’s, it’s an aluminium hulled amphibious military vehicle capable of carrying up to 5 tons of weight. It’s also got two turbo chargers for extra power. Coming from a military background, it’s awesome to see one of these drive around on the Gold Coast allowing the public to experience this unique mode of transport. The Aquaduck can drive around on the street like a bus and then drive straight into water and float like a boat, reaching a speed of 48 km/h on land and 15.3 km/h in the water.
A perfect time to hire out this amphibious vessel is late in the day so you can experience the stunning twilight on the water. Revel in the magnitude of the impressive canal front homes. The Gold Coast has nine times more canals than Venice so why not enjoy some of these 800 kms of pristine waterways with your friends to celebrate a special event.
Book a Gold Coast party cruise for your hens night or bucks night
On your Gold Coast Hens Night, you can take to the water for kick offs and settle into the cruise to set the mood for the night. After a 90 minute cruise you can then hit the town with your besties to enjoy more fun and games. You will be dropped right back into the heart of Surfers Paradise so there are no transport issues for hitting your next party destination.
If it’s a Bucks party you’re organising, this makes for a fun start to get the ball and chain rolling. What a great opportunity to take in the idyllic Gold Coast surroundings before the pub crawl commences. Beers can flow while your skipper ensures you get to your next destination.
And let’s not stop there….why not hire out an Aquaduck on the big day for your bridal party to enjoy a few champas on board while cruising down the canals. You can take photos and videography while enjoying the stunning vista before you. When the cruise is done, the Aquaduck can drop you off at your reception venue pending proximity. What an attention seeking way to arrive on your special day!
