I enjoyed the captain telling us about the owners of the gorgeous homes on the waterfront and once we got to the island the little zoo and alligator show was ok. Nothing spectacular but definitely something to do. I went on the lunch cruise therefore we ate food at the snack shack.

Easy to get to and the whole experience was very good, a lot of information was provided and very interesting. The gator wrestling and area was very good. I would recommend this to anyone.

This is a very enjoyable way to spend an evening. A wonderful ride on a riverboat viewing the houses and yachts of the rich and famous. Then a simple but delicious meal that was served by a friendly and attentive wait staff. Followed by a show that was pretty good; PLEASE keep in mind that this is not New York... More

I thought we were going to eat on the riverboat -- but no; it transports us to a place where we get off to eat. On the trip there we got to see all the beautiful homes/mansions along the Intercoastal. The commentary by the host was very interesting, informative, and a bit funny too! The food served was good --... More

Looking for something to do with a couple friends with kids, took them on the jungle queen an they had a great time looking at all the homes and especially the wildlife in the water . Being in a wheelchair it wasn't to bad to get on the staff was very helpful. The private island was accessible to.

Several times, I have taken clients for a cruise on the Jungle Queen. Each time, I was not disappointed. There is narrator onboard telling you what you are seeing on the shore. The mansions are magnificent. You'll see lovely birds and beautiful floral gardens. The last time I visited I saw the "airplane" boat which originally belonged to Howard Hughes.... More

We enjoyed this attraction. The commentary was interesting. The food was excellent - especially the barbequed ribs and they really do serve you all you can eat of everything. The price was reasonable for a 4 hr. activity and all that was included. The show was good. Mitch the magician/comedian was excellent and very funny; a lot of interaction with... More

I came on the Jungle Queen 30 years ago and it was very different. The bathrooms are filthy! The animal display is generic. The boat is old and dirty. The food was okay. The dessert was generic. Overall very disappointing!

There are apparently at least 4 touristy ways to see the canals, riverfront homes and yachts in Ft. Lauderdale from the water (the only way to really see it). If a tourist, you must do at least one. Jungle Queen has two daytime tours, and an evening dinner tour. We did the afternoon one. Morning one @ 9:30 might be... More
