The amphibious Golden Dawn tour has come to Sacramento. It starts in Old Sacramento between Joe's Crab Shack and Rio City Cafe. Tours run about 90 minutes and begin at 11 a.m. and run until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Until Sunday, the tour is free. After that, the price will be $25 for adults, $15 for seniors, and $15 for children.

On land, the tour travels past the Governor's Mansion, Sutter's Fort, Capitol Mall, the Stanford Mansion, and the Crocker Art Museum. At Discovery Park the bus tour stops, two pontoons inflate and the vehicle splashes into the water.

The Golden Dawn is owned by Sacramento Yacht Charters. Another vehicle wil be added in late August.

All aboard.
