I've read some of the reviews here and I have to say how much you get out of the Jungle Queen will highly depend on what you are expecting. First, this is not a luxury cruise. The boat is in ok condition but certainly nothing to write home about. It's something that I would expect from a ferry but with... more

We were sorely disappointed with this attracation. Should have paid closer attention to other reviews. We took the dinner cruise. The trip to the Island was punctuated with corney entertainment. Would be better just to point out sights. Oh arriving at the island were herded into a building. The food was absolutely awful. The ribs were very fatty, the shrimp... more

Jungle Queen was a nice outing. They take you on a boat thru canals and show you which stars live in which houses. And then they take you to there island show you an aligator and put on a show for you. The show is a bit out dated but it's something different. more

The staff was rude and had a bad attitude. The food was terrible and the show was marginal at best. Don't waste your time or your money going on the Jungle Queen! more

Ah, the Jungle Queen. I remember it well. My husband and I received free tickets from our vacation package (I am so thankful we didn't actually buy them) and decided to hop aboard the Jungle Queen and do some site seeing. We had heard that there was going to be all you can eat ribs, shrimp chicken and so on,... more

Our family of four adults took this tour. While the boat is a little old and worn, the staff are friendly and do a good job of narrating the tour of the intra-coastal waterway. The dinner on their island was very efficient and while more picnic-like than fine dining, it was very tasty and plenty to fill up on. The... more

We participated in the Jungle Queen River Boat dinner cruise last Friday and enjoyed it very much. The commentary by the captain was funny and the boat ride was relaxing. The food on the island was delicious and kept on coming! Although the show after dinner was a little boring for us this excursion was well worth it! If you’re... more

My boyfriend and I heard about the Jungle Queen and thought it would be nice to check out for his birthday. We never even made it on board. The staff was so incredibly rude that we decided leaving was the better choice and after reading some of these reviews well I'm glad that we did. We did get there a... more

We recently took the 9:30am 3 hour sightseeing cruise in ft. lauderdale. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to find that they only accept cash. There is an ATM on site, but of course you get stuck paying the fees. Had we known this we would have gotten cash at our bank right down the street! The boat had plenty of... more

The trip along the waterway is nice and fun for visitors or for locals to bring their guests. This can and should be acheived, however on another boat such as the Riverboat Cruises or the water taxi. The 3-hour Jungle Queen ride is unnecessarily stretched out to bring you to an "island" to see a show. The living conditions of... more
