Jaded New Yorkers looking for a relaxing diversion for the last day in town. Found the Jungle Queen, read the reviews, and didn't know what to expect. Had a great time. Of course the narrator was corny - that's the point! He was funny! The island stop was fun too. Well cared for birds eating a nutrious feed mixture. The... more

Not a family cruise. Way too many comments about sex and alcohol by the tour guide (boat captain). The island getaway was hooky. While the boat was OK, the scenery was mostly extremely wealthy folks multi-million dollar boats and homes. Some may think this is great, but my wife and I did not. more

The boat ride is ok, with nice views of the riverfront homes, but the "jungle island" stop is really sad. There is a snack shop with a limited overpriced menu and a few unhappy animals kept in substandard conditions. I am amazed that the spca hasn't shut them down. After a lackluster performance at the 10 minute aligator show they... more

I was visiting my son who lives in Florida near Fort Lauderdale and we took a cruise on the Jungle Queen. We found it very enjoyable and informative. We were treated well and after the cruise, the captain posed with us for a picture. It was a very enjoyable experience. more

When we arrived to purchase tickets we were told to "wait over there" in a very rude manner, we waited for some time and enquired again about tickets we were then ignored, we walked away and never returned to such rude and arrogant people, we can live without them, my advice to you is to give this outfit a miss. more

I feel really bad for writing about the negatives of our experience because the captain of the boat was wonderful. The tour was funny and informative and after the tour he came down and was very friendly. Unfortunately he was the only friendly employee we encountered and one was so flat out rude I was infuriated for most of the... more

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
