The Jungle Queen Sightseeing Cruise is a 90-minute riverboat tour of Fort Lauderdale's inland waterways, departing from 801 Seabreeze Boulevard. The Jungle Queen has operated on these canals since 1935, and the two-level riverboat remains one of the more recognisable vessels on the New River. Fort Lauderdale's network of navigable waterways earned the city its nickname, the Venice of America, and the route puts that geography in full view, passing through neighbourhoods where waterfront properties regularly carry price tags above $30 million.

A guide narrates throughout, pointing out the estates and mega-yachts belonging to, or formerly owned by, figures including television producer Michael Mann, the heir to the Kohl's department store chain, and director Steven Spielberg. The cruise runs for one hour and thirty minutes in total. Tickets cover the sightseeing cruise; food and drinks are available to purchase onboard but are not included. For more things to do in Miami and the surrounding area, the city offers a wide range of water-based and land-based options across South Florida.
