Only Boat/Bus Experience in U.S. With Exciting Multi-Media Theater Component

NYC Ducks' unique half-boat, half-bus amphibious vehicles offer New York City's first ever land and water visitor experience, and the only duck-like tour in the nation with an exciting multi-media theater component, where travelers are rocked and splashed through history.

NYC Ducks' new amphibious fleet meets rigid safety and environmental standards and has been designed to evoke the memory of Henry Hudson's famous ship, The Half Moon. NYC Ducks tour route starts in Times Square, on the east side of Broadway between 47th and 48th Streets and navigates the streets of Manhattan to the waters of the Hudson River.

At the edge of the Hudson, the duck will enter the NYC Ducks Theater for an exhilarating multi-media experience, simulating Henry Hudson's journey, complete with the sights and sounds - the rushing wind and other surprises - of an Atlantic sea voyage.

Then the duck splashes into the Hudson River for an explorer's eye view of the New York skyline, something Henry Hudson never saw. After returning to land the duck travels back to Times Square.

"New Yorkers and people from around the world who visit the Big Apple expect the best, and NYC Ducks is the best, most unique, most exciting way to experience the City by land and sea - all in the same vehicle. NYC Ducks quacks the fun barrier as our ducks boldly go where no duck tour has gone before - New York City," said Tom Lewis, President, Gray Line New York Sightseeing.

"This partnership between Gray Line, the nation's premier sightseeing bus operator, and NY Waterway, with our 20-year maritime history of leisure cruises and commuter ferry service, assures NYC Ducks customers an exciting and memorable experience," said Arthur E. Imperatore, Jr., a managing member of NYC Ducks, LLC.
