Looking for recommendations to take the family on a airboat in Florida around the Orlando / Disney area? Does anyone have any good recommendations? Also, we might be doing the gatorland thing....any feedback on that? Thanks.

just started doing some reading and research, but that's a bit too far of a drive. Trying to find something closer to where we are staying.

Find an airboat tour on Lake Jesup. It’s North of Orlando. Approx 45 minutes.

Lake Jesup is the most Alligator infested lake in all of Florida. There are several tour outfits.

Trust me…… if you are looking for an Airboat, Alligator experience…… I have pointed you in the best direction.

Billie’s swamp Safari was a good time. But it’s way south.

Hahaaa! Every stinking lake in Central Florida is "The most alligator infested lake in Florida." 😁 Head east of Orlando to the St. John's River. There are a few airboat tours running out of Lone Cabbage. I just can't remember the names offhand.

Thank you for the info. Looking for both the alligator experience & a swamp with tall reeds and bad ass airboat captain whipping it around.

There is one out of here and it is just south of the Orlando airport. Have a friend that lives on this lake.

Just google Lake Jesup Florida. You will see all the info.

There are multiple boat tours all over. From St John’s River to Mount Dora. There’s even a Swamp Buggie Tour somewhere near Kissimmee. Lake Conway and Windermere Chain of Lakes is where the locals hang out to party. Both of those places have boat rentals. Just some alternative ideas.
