Jungle Queen Riverboat

My friends and I had a great time. The food was excellent, music was good, and everything was enjoyable. It’s been a while since I have been back, so I plan to go in October 1st 2004 for my wife birthday, so see you soon.

The cruise and narration (full of puns and jokes make the cruise along the New River on the way to the private island fun and entertaining as the boat passes along MIllionaires ' Row, with jaw dropping views of multi-million dollar homes and yachts. Sights are beyond belief and comprehension for some of us who can 't begin to imagine the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Once the cruise reaches the island, visitors are efficiently guided to the dining area with live entertainment for the all-you-can-eat BBQ of ribs, chicken, peel and eat shrimp, bbq beans, fries, cole slaw, buns, and ice tea. Other beverages may be purchased. Servers are pleasant and constantly replenishing empty foods and liquids. After dining, there is time to roam about to see the birds and animals on display before the live stage show begins. We were treated to a magician, a comedian, a ventriloquist, and Samoan fire dancer and company. Lots of fun. The island looks very nice at night with lush foliage and lighted tiki torches. Cruise, dinner, and show run four hours--just right for a fun time. After the stage show, visitors are guided back to the boat for the cruise back to the Bahia Mar Marina area taking in more beautiful homes, boats, and yachts. (The island also has a gift shop and food stand.

If you are not. Fan of outdoors heat you may not enjoy this. BUT, I highly recommend you try it. Food is awesome, tender seasoned perfectly. The comedy, magic, performance show is Hilariously corny. The smooth cruise boat ride thru Millionaire row is relaxing open covered/shaded ride. The horrible jokes will keep you laughing, homes breath taking the night return awesome moonlighting depending on the weather. My daughter said in spite of heat/weather she enjoyed it. I 've been 3x, never disappointed. Wait staff very helpful friendly. We fell in love with Ms Beverly 's southern Ok Baby , but she was like a dotting caring mom.

Whenever family or friends visit south Florida the jungle queen is a must. 87 years in service , always fun and interesting. This year we went for New Years, given it 's outdoors. First time for me on New Years and so much fun. Everyone on board was out to have fun and all the waterfront parties on our trip made it especially fun to pass by . The dinner buffet of ribs and chicken was fantastic as always. Best ribs in the area if you like fall off the bone . The do a show after dinner with a few acts to satisfy all the groups there then back on the boat returning to the starting point . They timed it perfect to be positioned in the main waterway at midnight so we can see all the fireworks . They did a perfect job on this New Years adventure.

My family and I had a great time. The island was beautifully renovated. It felt like we had entered a Polynesian island village. The animal housings were all very beautiful, clean and large. All employees were amazing and friendly. The food was delicious. Stella the manager is great!
