We went to Wild Bill's a couple years ago and thought it was great.

We've been to Swamp Fever twice - Tom/Jerrys once.

I prefer swamp fever (when captain Steve is at the helm - he's the best guide for fun and gags) because they go fast for a portion of the trip.

There was no go fast portion with tom/jerry - maybe they normally do and it just wasn't done when we were there. But that's my actual experience.

Our last trip to Swamp was this past May. Like almost everyone else... I wanted to try all three in our area so I called Wild Bills to book (they advertise a very exciting go fast experience). When I called in early May 2022 the price was $70 per person. The others are half that cost.

If you're good with $70 (I'm not) it will probably be a very exciting ride.

A couple years ago we had 6 of us and rented a private boat (with driver of course) at Wild Bills. Their private boat was about 1/2 the price of the others for the same thing (at that time) and you get a full 1 hr trip. Only bad part was my wife's sunglasses and hat got blown off her head and one of the 'gators is probably wearing it.

My vote is for Ozello Boats, in Crystal River. You don't just want to ride around in a swamp, you want to see the Nature coast and St. Martins reef.
