Ignite the Night: Experience the Best Polynesian Show in Fort Lauderdale – Only on the Jungle Queen
There’s nothing like the thrill of a fire-knife dance under the Florida night sky. When you board the Jungle Queen Polynesian show, you’re not just signing up for a cruise. You’re stepping into the rhythm, energy, and excitement of Ignite the Night, the most unforgettable Polynesian show in Fort Lauderdale.
From the moment the Jungle Queen pulls away from the dock, the experience begins. You glide past the sparkling waterfront mansions of Millionaire’s Row before arriving on a private island where the real magic happens. There, you’re treated to a true South Pacific celebration filled with drums, dance, and a dinner that’s worth the trip alone.
At the heart of this production is Drums of Polynesia, and our team of cultural ambassadors. With nearly 30 years of experience producing South Pacific entertainment in South Florida, we bring authenticity, showmanship, and heart to every performance.
What Is Ignite the Night?
Ignite the Night is a bold and colorful Polynesian show that brings the music, stories, and spirit of the islands to Fort Lauderdale. It’s a full-scale outdoor production that lights up the stage with traditional and modern dances from across Polynesia.
You’ll see everything from Tahitian hip-shaking to Samoan fire-knife spinning. Our dancers move to the sound of live drumming and conch shells, telling stories passed down through generations. This is a high-energy experience that mixes choreography with culture and ends in a blazing finale that lights up the night sky.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, visiting from out of town, or planning a group outing, this is the show you’ll be talking about long after you leave.
Aboard the Jungle Queen: Cruise and Island Experience
Before the show begins, you’ll enjoy a scenic cruise through some of Fort Lauderdale’s most iconic waterways. The Jungle Queen Riverboat takes you past historic downtown, Millionaire’s Row, and a lineup of luxurious waterfront homes. It’s a relaxing start to the evening with plenty to see along the way.
While you take in the sights, head to the full liquor bar and enjoy a signature cocktail or a cold drink of your choice. It’s the perfect way to kick off your evening on the water.
Once the boat arrives at the private island, the experience continues. You’ll be welcomed with the sounds and smells of the all-you-can-eat BBQ dinner. After you’ve had your fill, feel free to walk the island, explore the surroundings, and get ready for the show. There’s time to take photos, grab another drink, and settle in before Ignite the Night lights up the stage.
All-You-Can-Eat Island BBQ Dinner
Dinner is served before the show, and you’ll want to come hungry.
The all-you-can-eat BBQ features:
- Unlimited fall-off-the-bone baby-back ribs
- Hand-battered chicken tenders
- Homestyle macaroni and cheese
- Freshly made coleslaw
- Golden cornbread
It’s the kind of meal that hits every comfort food craving. Served family-style in a casual outdoor setting, the dinner adds a laid-back and satisfying start to the evening. As the sun sets and plates are cleared, the stage lights come up and the show begins.
