Airboat reccomendations?
 
Has anyone been on both Tom & Jerry's airboat ride and Wild Bill's airboat ride? Would you recommend one over the other? Thanks in advance.

Been on Wild Bill's twice. Met my expectations both times. Good Captain and good ride.

I have been to Tom & Jerry's and Bj's Airboat Adventures. I prefer Bj's Airboat Adventures.

Been on Wild Bill's numerous times. Very good. Try to get a decent day so the alligators are ou and about.

My husband has back problems and "bouncing" or rough handling of a boat would be painful to him. Do these captains do that during their tours?

Wild Bill's is my choice.

Airboat rides are not generally lazy-day rides. However, they could be if you are the only ones on the boat. Otherwise, most people expect to zig zag, speed up and slow down and cross over grassy hammocks, etc.

Took a ride on Wild Bill's this weekend with my son. Very enjoyable!
Wish my wife had gone along. It wasn't rough at all...some zig zagging but much smoother than I expected it to be. I have neck/back problems and it didn't cause me any problems at all. Private rides are available too. Just tell the captain what you want.
