Very enjoyable day cruise done mid-week in July. Since it was not a high season in Florida, we did not see many ships and yachts, but it was still worthwhile to see the mansions and simply unwind while cruising. The staff was pleasant, and the info interesting. Highly recommend.

Florida Must Do!!! 10/10

Emily_O, Aug 2026
A FLORIDA MUST DO!!!! The MC on Jungle Queen Mason was hilarious with jokes and real stories of the expensive mansions on the waterways of Fort Lauderdale. We got there 30 min early and was able to be 2nd in line to get on the boat, meaning we got front row seats and those were the best! You got the best view, I think sitting on the right side is better even though the boat does turn around and you get both sides, the breeze felt nice and there were drinks and a bathroom on the boat! We had the best time, laughing, enjoying the view and stories of the millionaires and history of Fort Lauderdale!!

The best way to see Fort Lauderdale is from the water! If you are looking for a fun activity one afternoon or evening I would definitely give the Jungle Queen a try!

We had a really good time they should experience this the host was great and the bartender was simply amazing

Not as good as it used to be.

Lisa_C, Aug 2026
The tour used to include the New River and Esplanade Park. This tour was 90 minutes and the last 30 mins were uninteresting and the boat seemed to just drift without a purpose. The owner should consider a re-route up the Intercoastal and put the segment to Esplanade Park back in. It is much more interesting than floundering around in the filthy dirty port. There isn't much interesting to see there.

Enjoyable cruise experience.

Bonita_B, Aug 2026

Food made us sick!

Tony_V, Aug 2026
The vessel, commentator, island and staff were friendly and good. The show was spectacular, reminded me of my honeymoon in Hawaii. I wish I could say something good about the food...my husband got stomach upset within 30 minutes...in the bathroom on the ship back....and I was up all night with pain and diarrhea. The ribs were tender, but tasteless and the second batch had a smell.
