Orlando and Central Florida
Airboat Rides
Whenever? you want to face into the?wind and feel the wind streaming through your hair, take an airboat ride. 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.
