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.

Lisa was our tour guide and very happy with the experience. Lisa explained and provided great facts about the history of the area and water. Our family of 4 and another couple were on our raft. Paddling wasn't the bad until the very end when the wind kicked up and the we all struggled to get to land so Lisa found a close by bank we could land on. We got to touch jelly fish and see the fluorescent lights in the water. So amazing and worth every penny. It's a memory we will cherish and highly suggest to families. It was too dark for pictures to work.

One of the coolest things I’ve ever done!! Kayaking in the dark is definitely a different experience and seeing the bioluminescence with every paddle stroke was amazing! I loved hanging out where the manatees were and seeing the dolphins. Austin was the best guide and was full of great information. He was easy to follow and made sure everyone was safe and having a great experience. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

My friends and I did the daytime Manatee and dolphin kayak tour. Our tour guides Bri and Sebastian were awesome! Super friendly and knowledgeable. We had such a great time seeing so many different wildlife on our way to the tour we saw snakes and an otter. On our tour, we saw some pretty birds, a little alligator, and several manatees and their cute noses coming out of the water. We didn't see dolphins on this tour but we did during lunch time by the bridge This trip was a surprise birthday gift for my friend and she had an incredible time. We even sang happy birthday to her on the water. Thank you Bri and Sebastian for this lovely experience.

Gorgeous Tour
We were able to see manatees and dolphins. Plus, we watched the sunset. It was incredibly beautiful and romantic. I didn't capture the photo of the sun because I was too busy enjoying the experience. I did get a shot of the beautiful sky after the sunset tour was finished. Our guides Bailey and Josh were awesome and made our trip unforgettable. They are very outgoing and knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area. The bioluminescence was beautiful that night. It was so dark that we were able to see millions of stars in the clear night sky. We were very lucky with the weather. I definitely recommend going with BK Adventures for the sunset tour and bioluminescent tour package. Oh, and don't forget to tip the guides, even though it is optional. They work really hard to make the trip enjoyable, and they have to keep track of everyone and keep them safe. It can be a high pressure job because people on the tour have different levels of kayaking experience, so be generous.
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).
