★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,158 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $80Our pick

Cruise Fort Lauderdale’s New River aboard the Jungle Queen, passing Millionaire’s Row and mega-yachts before an all-you-can-eat BBQ dinner at Tropical Isle. Live music, a Polynesian revue, comedy, juggling, magic, and fire performance fill the evening. Guides such as Monica and Nate add lively narration.

“Boat ride fine nice guide. The show was ok, very short about 30 minutes just dancing. However, the dinner was poor. The food was cold, only bbq was some ribs. The sides consisted of watery Mac and cheese and pork and beans with some cornbread. No drinks were included so drank water. No dessert was included it was however was advertised to purchase on the back of the bathroom stall doors. Rushed thru dinner for show…..tried to take my tray 2 or 3 times.”
