You're not likely to see crocs, they only live in South Florida. You'll see lots of alligators though.

As locals, we always take our visitors the Black Hammock in Oviedo, but it's a good way from the tourist area.

Hi, we're in Florida now and did the Spirit of the Swamp airboat ride on Neptune Road Kissimmee the other day. It really was fabulous. I paid �210 for 5 of us (4 adults 1 child) for an hour, check it out on Trip Advisor, i think its rated the number 1 airboat ride.

Off to Epcot shortly to watch Illuminations

I was going to say the same...have used them three times, but it's a six passenger boat only, so no use for the OP

We did a 1 hour airboat ride at Wild Florida in April and it was great fun.

Spirit of the Swamp is an outstanding air boat experience... and you would get a boat solely for your group !

We have done Spirit of the Swamp, Boggy Creek and one near to Miami on the Tamiami trail. We would reccomend all 3 and yes, we saw plenty of Alligators each time.

Spirit of the swamp has smaller airboats than Boggy creek and thus our group of 4 were the only occupants on the boat. Boggy creek imho was a better commentary and we saw more alligators.

When we were there in October we went out with Kissimmee Swamp Tours. They really were superb and we saw loads of wildlife.

We have just returned from Florida and had a great time at wild Florida. We had the airboat ride where we saw aligators resting. We then spent a few hours looking at the animals and had lunch.
