Board a 1930’s style steamer and set sail into the unknown on a ‘real-life’ river tour past wild animals wallowing in untamed waters on this tropical Amazonian adventure.

Guests are invited on board aptly-named Amazon Annie or Senegal Sal on this jaw-dropping tour of exotic Asian, African and South American swamps – located in the heart of Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, not far from your Orlando villa!

Expect to pass elephants, tigers, snakes and a whole host of other animatronics animals wallowing in the water, feasting on their prey, and terrifying trespassing tourists on this 9-minute Jungle Cruise.

Float past ancient artefacts, intrepid explorers and the other surprises in store as your skipper leads you deeper into the unknown, all the while regaling you with funny facts, quirky quips and witty warnings of the dangers that await you on this Indiana Jones inspired adventure.

Ready…

The Jungle Cruise at Disney's Magic Kingdom

Queue at the headquarters of a real-life 1930’s river boat company cluttered with authentic jungle-related articles, pinned insects, shotgun shells and an old radio playing jungle style news bulletins.

Get set…

Board the steamboat and meet your skipper who is all set to guide you through this watery wilderness.

But will you ever return?

Set off along the Irrawaddy and Mekong rivers inSoutheast Asiaand sail through dense rainforest seeing huge native butterflies and birds as you go.

Go…

Glide precariously past the ruins of an ancient Cambodian city and spot giant spiders, King Cobras, Bengal Tigers and huge Nile crocs. Dodge the spray as a heard of wild Indian Elephants squirt water at the passing vessels amidst a Buddhist-inspired backdrop.

See a babble of baboons and an abandoned safari camp now occupied by gigantic gorillas as your boat narrowly avoids plunging down a deadly waterfall – and be entertained and alarmed by a hungry hippo attack on your boat as the skipper fights for your life!

You may have survived the hippos but watch out for the next ambush as a gang of spear-wielding natives attack.

They are after your head!
