Jungle Queen - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

It was amazing!!!! Great tour amazing guide the drinks on the boat were reasonable and strong. The island and dinner were excellent. The show was an extra bonus. Worth every penny. My only caution would to not get the mixed drinks on the island. Over priced and super small. Not at all consistent with what you get on the actual boat.

Great excursion. The announcer told us about the multimillion dollar properties along the intercoastal waterway, which led us to their private island. An all you can eat chicken and spare rib dinner was served. They had ice cream for dessert, which was followed by a Polynesian Dance Ensemble. The whole trip was 4 hours and I thought it was very reasonably priced. For the 6:00PM departure you could board at 4:45PM. I would recommend being there very early. The bar got backed up and there was only one var on the upper level with 2 bartenders. I would highly recommend.

What a great experience! The tour up the New River was fun and informative. We never realized how beautiful a city Fort Lauderdale is, being able to see the luxury homes and yachts, then into downtown with the attractive skyscrapers and bridges. The Jungle Queen Island was wonderful with beautiful flora and fauna. The dinner was good, ribs were tasty, chicken tenders flavorful, and the cornbread was moist and sweet. The service for dinner was impressive in how quickly they got everyone from the boat seated and served. The Luau show was simple but well executed and exciting

Went on Tuesday with my best friend, there are not many people, super nice and not crowded. We did the 90 minutes tour and it went great. The tour guide was knowledgeable about the area and eager to learn for updated information on the properties that are in pending sales.

Don’t forget to tip the tour guide at the end, he does a pretty good job and willing to learn. He also give out great advice for people that does not live in the area to guide them with plans for rest of the trip.

There are plenty of parking spaces in the designated parking lot. The parking tickets will be upgraded to 4-6 hours for a flat rate of very small fee, I think it was $15 and it is well worth it. You get to explore the area and eat some food then get back to the parking spot in just enough time. Overall, great experience!

Fabulous Cruise Experience.
The area is absolutely amazing and the cruise is taking you to the best spots of Fort Lauderdale where you can see the mansions and houses of the rich people.
It was very nice, and you receive valuable information of the areas and houses along the cruise.
I highly recommend it.

Oh, what fun the Jungle Queen and Ignite the Night show is! The cruise through the New River was very entertaining - shout out to Captain Seaton. I wish I remembered the name of the lady captain driver, but I don't. Emily? Annie? The views of the city, the history lesson, and even the stuff the guide made up was very entertaining. Dinner was fantastic. The servers were everywhere and brought all the meat options around at least twice. The drink service was fast. The live singer during dinner was an unexpected surprise and very nice. I'm not into coleslaw with malted vinegar, but oh my goodness were the beans delicious! I'm not usually big on beans but I'll be dreaming of them forever now. The ribs were absolutely delightful and so filling, as were the chicken fingers. The cornbread was perfect. The Polynesian dancers really wowed us. Lol Nothing makes you feel as out of shape as four people shaking their hips as phenomenally as they did. The fire dance was so cool. The personalities of every performer were simply sensational. The whole experience was worth it and so much fun. I loved the birds, sloths, and gators they keep on their "private isle." The view of the city was unmatched. And I spent way too much time reading the history wall. Overall, I very, very highly recommend the Jungle Queen experience!

Had a wonderful time on the boat tour. We loved the host sharing fun facts with us as well as the boat staff. The bar staff were delightful and made fantastic cocktails. A great way to end our vacation adventures.

Nice to see the new river and the expensive houses of the area. Didn't go out to sea. Which was good. It was quite cold onboard especially when it was windy. The tour guide was excellent and gave a great commentary. Would recommend to those visiting for the first time.
