We had a great time! Beautiful boat ride, very romantic on the return, the food was very good, particularly the ribs, great show and the island is beautifully landscaped with brick walkways throughout. Additionally the office staff responds to emails and corrected a mistake I made easily. Very nice night. Do it!

It was a great time! Parker was a great tour guide and the dinner and show were a lot of fun! It’s family style eating so you get to meet new people and just have fun! The music entertainment during dinner was very good as well!

Thank you Jungle Queen so much, we had such a wonderful night. This trip was so worth the wait. the staff at JQ are top notch, right down to the box office. What a fun night, thank you for our honeymoon seats, so sweet! Captain and crew were entertaining. The tour of millionaire's Row was just beautiful at night. The island was clean and decorated with a great island vibe, love it! the island show was funny, we loved the fire acts. I highly recommend this to anyone, young or old. worth every penny.

The boat ride in and out was the very best part! We got to see billionaire’s homes, yachts and lots of water. Our captain was great at pointing out details and giving us info. about who lived where. The food on the island was sub-par, with horrid orange lighting above us. The dining was so crowded and rushed. Drinks and dessert were not included. The Hawaiian show was also lacking. Don’t they have native Floridian or Cuban dancers?

No silverware available with side dishes and we had to use our own ; seemed unsanitary.
