The Queen

The Queen II was a fun evening activity for our group of 15 while spending the week on Lake Okoboji. We got tickets in advance for the 7pm tour of the lake. The boat has an enclosed lower deck and an open air upper deck with lots of seating in both spaces. They sell snacks chips, popcorn and drinks sodas, water, beer, wine, and cocktails. The hour long cruise is a fun way to learn about the lake’s history.

It's been a long time, and my first ride as a child, unsupervised, full of McDonald's, too many buckaroons to buy Burgerroonies... I yackt, and I learned. Much older today, better mind, better trained, and eyes to see this beauty the Queen!

Fun and relaxing tour! And the popcorn was a nice treat!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes

The trip was safe and got the history of the locations around the lake. The price was reasonable. Duration was almost 70 minutes and paid $142 for three families of size four members in each.

Enjoyable 75 minute narrated boat ride on west okoboji. Refreshments and snacks sold on board. Restrooms too. Recommend taking steps to open air top deck

Loved this boat ride! Got a great tour of the lake and it was very enjoyable! It took about 1 hour and 15 minutes!

Took an evening cruise in early September. Perfect sunset timing, great live music and breathtaking views all around. We took our kids who also had a great time. Drinks and snacks are available for a small fee.

Horrible experience. We bought our tickets at 12:30pm for the 3:00pm ride. We would have like to purchase a ticket for the 1:00pm ride, but it was full. Not a big deal, we can wait for the 3:00pm ride. We arrive at 2:45 to go into the boat and we are stoped and told that the boat is full and they could not have any more people on the boat. They overbooked a whole boat full of people. They offered a free ride that could be redeemed at any time they are available. We do not live in the area, so we won't be back, and we definitely will not be using the Queen II in the future.

A fun, hour-long cruise up and down West Lake Okoboji. The cruise has a narrated history of the lake and Iowa lakes area, and also offers drinks and snacks aboard the ship to enjoy along the way.
