Specialties
Take a guided tour of the Lower Dells Glacial Park aboard a World War II-era Army Duck! Discover sandstone rock formations that are over 14,000 years old such as Grotto Island, the Twin Ink Stands, Sugar Bowl Island, and the Wedding Bell. Cruise through beautiful Lake Delton and use the Duck’s six-wheel drive capabilities to traverse Dell Creek. Our one-hour, land-and-water excursion has been the most unique way to experience the Dells for over 70 years.
The Dells were created toward the end of the last glacial period from the flood waters of the Wisconsin River ripping through the Dells’ soft sandstone. The raging river managed to carve gorges and caves, rocky islands and towering cliffs, which would come to be admired for centuries.
H.H. Bennett was one of the first explorers on the Wisconsin River to document the grandeur of the Dells in the 1860’s, and our tours allow you a glimpse of the same landscape he first fell in love with over 150 years ago.
During the summer months, Dells Army Ducks depart every 15 – 20 minutes daily for a one-hour boat tour. All tours are guided through Lake Delton and Dells Glacial Park exposing you up close to one-of-a-kind rock formations. It’s fun, entertaining and a must-do when visiting Wisconsin Dells!
History
Established in 1946.
For over 50 years amphibious DUCKS have been the most unique means of touring Wisconsin Dells’ famous rock formations. The DUCKS got their start from a Milwaukee man named Melvin H. Flath. Prior to starting the Duck tour in Wisconsin Dells, Melvin owned a trucking business on 2nd St. in Milwaukee. Right after WWII, Melvin read about some surplus trucks for auction in California. He wanted one, so he journeyed the 2,000 miles at great financial risk to buy some needed trucks for his business. Upon arriving in California, Melvin saw that the trucks being auctioned were the amphibious trucks (DUCKS) and not anything he had envisioned. His disappointment turned to adventure and against all common sense he bought a DUCK.
