Orlando and Central Florida Airboat Rides Orlando, Kissimmee and nearby areas of Central Florida have more than two dozen airboat rides available every day of the year. Skim across weed-clogged lakes aboard a flat-bottomed boat pushed by an aircraft-type propeller, sitting on an elevated bench providing a good view of the water and any animals in it. An airboat is a noisy way to travel, usually scaring birds into flight, though alligators seem impervious to all the racket.
