Island Queen Cruise Island Queen Cruise

The original, two-hour morning cruise.

Come join us as we cruise through the inner islands of the Big Sound, an area many locals consider to be home to some of the most beautiful islands and channels on the Bay, including the famous Hole in the Wall!

Our non-stop two-hour morning cruise is the cruise that started it all. Back in the late 1960’s our old wooden taxi boats would leave Parry Sound Harbour and, following the same meandering route that we follow today, take passengers on tours around beautiful Huckleberry Island. Back then the taxi boats would frequently slow down so the crew could throw loaves of bread and other grocery supplies into the water for waiting cottagers. These days we skip the grocery deliveries but we still slow down as we pass the charming summer retreats that draw so many generations of families back to this part of Georgian Bay. The windswept inner islands that give shape to the narrow channels and shallow waterways that the Island Queen meanders through on this tour are what many locals consider to be some of the most picturesque on the Bay. Get your camera ready for the Hole in the Wall!

“Beautiful scenery, great narrative, lots of room to wander, very relaxing – perfect for all ages. We will definitely do this trip again.” Art R.

A friend and I were in Miami and decided to do an Island Queen Cruise. At the time they were doing the Millionaire's Row cruise, so we hopped on that one. It was a nice little cruise around Biscayne Bay, but I wasn't too interested in the millionaires' houses and docks that we passed. I knew that was the theme of this cruise going in, so I don't blame them for that aspect not being my favorite. I just enjoyed the ride and breeze more than looking at the fancy houses. There were a few sights to see aside from the mansions, though. We saw some giant high-rise buildings, some neat boats that we passed, and went under a few bridges. We did our cruise in November, so it was a little bit chilly out on the water, but not frigid, being that we were in Miami. The cruise was about an hour and a half, and I think that is a little long for the style of cruise. I'd recommend this if you are interested in seeing celebrity's houses or just like the feeling of a quick cruise on the bay.

I had an opportunity to get on a Sunset cruise. I didn't expect much since a day trip was a kind of ok experience. But this sunset cruise was a super nice experience. You get to enjoy beautiful houses and gorgeous Miami night views. You can see the colors of sky changing slowly. Even if you live in Miami, looking at Miami skyscrapers at night from the water is worth it. The cruise was packed with locals and tourists. It was fun!

UPDATE- furious they charged us twice and it's been over a month, still no refund. Went from 3 stars to 0 Easy to book, easy to find. It was a nice ride and the guide was comical. Get there early so you can get a good seat. Don't waste your time and sign up for the raffle because it's just time share bullshit. Our family enjoyed it and for some good pics of the skyline

The narrator is funny, the trip shows a beautiful area of Miami. The unfortunate raffle to get a timeshare was yucky! I wasted 10 min of my time on the boat. Don't do the raffle!

Loved our experience, narrator was witty and funny. Won a vacation certificate! Check in was a breeze!

Overbooked cruise, we got in a storm in the end of our trip and all upper floor came downstairs. People didn't even care about social distance. Our table had empty 2 chairs and people took this seat without even asking us. Some strangers were sitting beside us and boat was full inside. Also dirty windows bother to take good photos! I mean I understand ticket price isnt high but anyways I think no matter how much you charge you should give people what they paid for. I had to go outside and to take good pics without having dirty marks on them from the window. Also I find it annoying tour guides begging for tips. Seriously? I mean I didnt even heard half of what they were saying because it was too loud inside.

The combo of the hop on hop off bus and millionaire's row boat cruise is a great way to enjoy all of Miami from south beach and Wynwood Marketplace to bayside marketplace and Little Havana.

Entrance for Miami Lady boat for Island Queen's Millionaire's Row Boat Cruise in thru Big Bus Tours

We did the cruise and it was just ok, I guess I was expecting to see more amazing homes but honestly all I could think about was how ridiculously priced these properties are and many over look a dirty ship yard, the water was absolutely disgusting with a layer of slimy oil and trash floating. The "stars" are really not that impressive, with all that money just don't understand why they'd want to live somewhere that they are so on display, like zoo animals The boat ride was fine and I guess for $30 what was I thinking/expecting......

Our middle school campers from Camp J Miami at the Alper JCC had the opportunity to take the Millionaire Cruise this past summer! They loved seeing the yachts and beaches and enjoying the boat experience! We truly appreciate the wonderful customer service from Leo and the Management Team as well!

What a fun tour even if you live in Miami. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and entertaining. It's interesting to learn some of the histories of Miami and Miami Beach, although some of the names of the property owners carry no meaning for me. A fun afternoon outing, something for the family or visitors to town
