New Tour! Fat Tire Bikes Beach Tour
Where is this tour:
Florida’s ONLY Fat Tire Bike Tour is on the Canaveral National Seashore near Kennedy Space Center. Join us for a day of adventure as we take you to this unspoiled beach and wildlife area to see some of Florida’s famous Space Coast landmarks.
What’s on the Fun Agenda:
We start this tour by letting you pack your own lunch! Guest arrive to our office and get to choose from a variety of picnic food that they will take with them for a beach picnic. Then we head out to the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. This is one of America’s largest wildlife sanctuaries. It boasts rare birds, spectacular views of Kennedy Space Center and the Space-X launch pads.
What You Will See:
You and your guides will jump on your Fat Tire Bikes and head down the wildlife trails to see Florida Alligators, Blue Herons, Roseate Spoon Bills, and other animals who call this nature reserve their home.
See Space-X Launch Pads from a Rare View – Photo Op!
Along the way, take time to look out across the expanse of the Space Center and snap some Insta-worthy photos of the Space-X launch pads, NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building (so large it has it’s own atmosphere), and the unspoiled Florida nature. This bit of coastlines is one of the only places you can see Florida the same way it has looked for hundreds of years. This land was originally home to a Native American tribe called the Ais.
Beach Picnic with Time for Swimming
After a fun filled ride on your Fat Tire Bicycle, you will end up at the beach! This is the time to unpack your picnic lunch and enjoy the beauty of the Atlantic ocean. Be sure to watch for Dolphins and Pilot Whales who frequently pass by this coast.
After some fun time at the beach, we will drive back and end the tour in the early afternoon. This gives you plenty of time to explore the Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Beach, or other adventures in the area.

Bioluminescence tour/BK Adventure/Clear Kayaks-it's Pixie Dust in the water! My family and I did this tour June 8....despite the rain at the start, we had a wonderful time....our guides were so great! Pay attention to the guides and do this tour folks!!!! For the person in the front of the kayak-look down toward the front of the boat and watch the jellyfish hit it and illuminate it as you glide through the water...it's sparkles in the water! Every time you paddle, it looks like pixie dust in the water, glowing with the movement of the paddle. By the end of the tour, the rain completely stopped and the stars came out, the view of the Space Center was crystal clear. Very cool, we all really enjoyed it! Thanks so much BK!

Oh my goodness, this far exceeded our expectations! You’ve gotta add this to your bucket list. My daughter and I did the Christmas lights bioluminescence kayaking tour at the end of December. We had so much fun learning all about different types of jellyfish, their habitat, all while “Jungle Jay” led us on a tour playing Christmas music with his kayak lit up in Christmas lights, as we paddled past several homes decorated for Christmas, and we even got to cast our vote in their contest for best decor! Jay made us feel comfortable with scooping up comb jellies in our hands and lightly tapping them to watch them glow. He was so knowledgeable and had great stories to tell. We had so much fun and did not want the tour to end! Cannot wait to go back!

This was an amazing tour! My daughter asked to do this for part of her graduation trip. I was hesitant to say the least. I’m afraid of dark water. But John, our tour guide, put me at ease. He was super laid back and was very knowledgable about the area. We saw a huge pod of dolphins (15!) and a manatee within 5 minutes of heading out on the raft. The tour was super peaceful and fun. We saw so many comb jellies and were amazed at the bioluminescence. So cool! I would highly recommend this as a family outing.

The bioluminescent tour was absolutely fantastic! Initially, I thought it might be a bit scary, to be in the water after dark, but it was far from it. The experience was mesmerizing and awe-inspiring, with the glowing waters creating a magical atmosphere. We got to see a dolphin up close, It was truly a unique adventure that exceeded all my expectations. I will definitely do it again during august, since I was told the algae glows more during hot months. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.
FAQ
Our tours rarely cancel due to weather. If it is raining the day of the tour, chances are, with Florida weather, it will clear up by the time your tour starts. Sometimes we will hold the tour by 30 minutes for the weather to clear. In the case of lightning, high winds, or some other reason that we cannot paddle, we will re-schedule all guests to the very next tour available, or at a convenient time for you. Rainchecks are valid for 1 year.
Because of wildlife and environmental protection we have a limited number of bicycles we can use at one time. There will be 4-6 people on your tour, plus your guide. Fat tire bikes are made to ride in sand and over rough terrain. They are perfect for your wildlife beach adventure.
This tour is better for older children. All of our bikes are 26 inches. We recommend children are 10+ and 55" tall to be able to ride the fat tire bikes.
BK Adventure's office is about 50 miles from Orlando, and just 15 minutes away from Kennedy Space Center. Guest will meet at our Titusville office and then be driven to the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge (about 10 miles away).
