Jungle Queen Riverboat

Start by saying nice, clean family entertainment from the comedians. They all were hysterical. Thank you.
Price– very reasonable. If you can purchase more than 24 hours ahead of time.
Steve– commentator was phenomenal.
Ship-​great trip to and from. Thank you goes out to the captain.
Food-​delicious.
Shows– all 4 were very entertaining.
We will do it again next year.
Try to get the front seats on second deck. Also known as VIP seating. Well not really, but that is what we called it.

Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME!!!
This is a MUST DO whether you’re a local or a visitor; and if you live here and have out-​of-​town guests, you must take them on this outing. The Dinner Cruise is the best. Buy your tickets on Groupon for half price which makes the experience even better.
The cruise to the «island» is relaxing and enjoyable anytime of year, with coastal breezes to cool you off even during the hottest months of the year. The narrator is entertaining and the time seems to fly by… unless you’re super hungry like we were!
But don’t worry, they will satisfy your hunger and then some. As soon as you get to the island you’re greeted by cheery servers who quickly escort you to the dining room where the food starts to arrive almost immediately. There’s peel-​n-​eat shrimp, baked beans, bread and cole slaw waiting on the table along with pitchers of iced tea and water, and no sooner are you seated than platters of ribs and chicken start coming… and coming… and coming! The service is very attentive and they are always quick to bring you more beverages, or food, or ice, or whatever else you need.
There’s live music playing while you eat; mostly 50’s-60’s-70’s standards but fun none-​the-​less. the Comedy/​Variety show afterwards is tolerable, a couple of great acts — Juggler, Fire Dancer — followed by a couple of mediocre performers.
All in all it was a wonderful date night, we laughed, ate, danced, held hands, and walked in the moonlight. Can’t wait to return.

We Live in Boca Raton, we had a lot of company over the winter holidays, and trying to entertain, we took them on the Jungle Queen. It was Fantastic, everyone had a great time! We took the dinner cruise, and holiday lights were everywhere on the Intracoastal… beautiful time of year to do this! Food was great, ribs, chicken, cole slaw, etc… all really good! And all you can eat.

It’s a decent boat ride. The boat is old but it’s OK. The seats are uncomfortable I didn’t expect it to be long. When we got to the attraction. The ribs and chickenn kept coming, but I was sitting by the kitchen. The only thing I found very interesting was the owl and the had a free peacock.
When you walk in grab a drink and sit down on the right side then when your leaving sit on the left side because all the attractions are mainly on the right side of the bus.
It was a nice anniversary.

Just left the Jungle Queen halfway through the trip, we couldn’t bear to stay another hour and a half. We purchased the «island adventure tour,» thinking that it would be a nice way to spend the afternoon. Incorrect. The first hour of the trip was spent cruising down the intercostal, listening to an incredibly forced and mumbly commentary by a member of boat staff.
When we arrived at the island with 150 of our fellow boat mates, we discovered that the «island» is more backyard menagerie than island. In fact, it IS a backyard. There is insufficient seating on the «island» and the only thing to do for the hour the boat is docked there is to eat a hotdog, watch alligators be exploited, or lament the experience back on the boat. It was so bad, in fact, that we asked if we could leave the «island» and call an über, which we did. I wish I could have an hour and a half of my life and $ 50.00 back. Save your money and time and book another boat tour (like the water taxi, which was great.)

Such a good boat cruise. Steve the narrator and comedian is SO hilarious! What a great time. The food was good, the island was awesome and the comedy show was a great ending to it all!!!
Must see! I would do it again if ever in Southern Florida.

When booking your reservation stear clear of
. We called 3x’s and got 3 different prices. The «up charge» was $ 10 per ticket more not to mention a $ 6.95 per ticket processing fee. The tickets were supposed to be emailed to me and 10 hrs later, no email.
Customer Service was terrible with
! I was told that my military ID gave né 10% off yet only 5% was applied.
I got so disgusted when speeking with Sam in Customer service at
that i just hung up.
So, save yourself $ 16.95 a ticket and purchase directly from The Jungle Queen and stay away from
.

The whole experience was awesome. The crew and the staff were top notch the service was incredible. The tour was a joy and very informative The tour guide’s knowledge was outstanding. The price was a good value and overall I have to give it the highest rating. Everyone at the box office, on the ship, and on the island was extremely courteous. I would recommend a visit here on your vacation or special date. It will surely be a high point.

Great boat ride, even with the few inebriated patrons. Capt was entertaining, but could have used a little more info on the Millionaire homes.
Food was excellent. The ribs and chicken were «fall-​off-​the-​bone» tender. Was not expecting the meal to be this hood, especially when cooking for 400 guests.
The animals that we saw all seemed to be cared for and in clean environments. Not sure about the previous complaints.
Only recommendation would be better seating control. Several patrons were purposely reserving seats so that no one sat beside them.

Purchased groupon for dinner 4 hour cruise for $ 68. Read reviews and was a little skeptical. Departed at 6 parked in bahia Mar dock for $ 7 arrived at 5 got a few drinks in the bahia Mar cabana. Got to the dock t 5:15 I advise you sit by the edge of the boat up top. Buffet was great and food kept coming and coming. Show was funny. Music was great for the occasion. Animals were cute. Took lots of pictures. The ride back was so relaxing and nice. Purchased a picture package they take of you when you’re boarding for $ 20 that has 3 wallet size and 5×7 in a jungle queen card. I highly recommend this especially if you purchase the Groupon. Good date night for 4 hours.

This is still great fun and a fun way to see the gorgeous waterfront homes and mega yachts down here. I used a groupon & the ticket office was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We did the 1:30 trip and arrived at 12:30 to park & get the tickets. The boat, seats & restrooms well– kept & spotless. The ride is just beautiful & the moderator, Capt. Ozzie was just perfect in the lighthearted way it is intended. The little «island» is also very well-​maintained as are all the birds& animals very well cared for. The alligator presentation is informative & on par with the care & handling that it should be. Thanks to the ships captain Heather .
This remains an interesting & fun way to see our beautiful Ft. Lauderdale waterways.
