I had a great time on the jungle queen. The host was very lively and comical. I learned a lot about the wealthy owners of the houses located in Fort Lauderdale. Cruising along the water was fun and I got the chance to meet a lot of people on the boat as well. It was very relaxing.

We had some time between getting off our cruise and the airport so we booked a ride on Jungle Queen. The pickup point is adjacent to Bahia Mar resort and they were kind enough to check our luggage for a few hours. We walked over to the Bahia Mar Marina Village which is a nice little area with food stands and a couple of walk-up bars. We had a tasty hotdog at the burger stand and then a cocktail at the bar right next to the Jungle Queen ticket office. The boat ride was excellent. They have beverages aboard including alcohol and you can bring your own food or snacks. The views of the multimillion-dollar homes and yachts were spectacular. I believe Nick was the narrator and he was very entertaining and did a great job providing details about the waterway, homes and the area in general. We went through Port Everglades and right past the cruise ship we had just disembarked from hours earlier. Great little excursion if you have a couple of hours and the price is very reasonable.

Good pace, unexpectedly comfortable seats. Decent value. The host was energetic and added to the trip with jokes.

Not real specific info on homes values and owners but it was a great excursion. Narrator was ok. We enjoyed the tour.

We enjoyed the riverboat tour. I think providing free promotion to the wealthy that owned the ridiculously expensive homes was a bit much. Would have liked more narration of the tour. 30 minutes is awhile to guess what we were seeing.
