Mountain Bike Hike (near Orlando) in the Little Big Econ State Forest
Join us for this action-packed day out in the Little Big Econ State forest (just 20 miles north-east of Orlando) featuring over 8 miles of wilderness mountain biking trails. First, we start off nice and easy on some simple switchbacks to get you warmed up. As the trip progresses, we head deep into this dense tropical forest across streams, over ridges and along the Econ River. This super fun day takes you on trails like the Ditch of Doom, Yahoo, and The Outback. Keep your eyes open for alligators along the river, blue herons, egrets, deer, and other indigenous wildlife.
This is a great half day tour that gets you out for some exercise and helps you see some of the best of Florida’s natural woodlands. Bike tour can be customized for beginning mountain bikers, or made more challenging for those with some experience.
If you want a longer tour, try our Pedal and Paddle tour which combines this tour with kayaking on the Econlockhatchee River.

We did the Sunset and Bioluminescence Tours tonight with Maggie and Stephanie, and they were FANTASTIC!
We were the only couple on the Sunset Tour, so we had the ladies’ full attention. They shared info about the estuary, and the flora and fauna we could see. We missed the manatees, but the dolphins out on a show.
The Bioluminescence Tour was magnificent! I had no idea what to expect, but WOW!
Stephanie and Maggie made it a great experience! They were knowledgeable and helpful, while making sure our entire group was safe. Thank you!!

10/10! This trip was awesome! We saw manatees just feet away from our kayak, caught and released comb jellies, our guide Ryan was full of information about the ecosystem and we saw a rocket on the pad all lit up at night. It was all 100% worth the drive, money and time. Perfect for a date night!

Oh my gosh - this was AMAZING! We caught the bioluminescence on a '5' night (rated 1-5), so we really got to see it well. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and informative, as well as friendly. We had eight family members in our party, so we took the raft. My only complaint, which is something that is inherent in using a raft, is that you have to sit on the edge facing in, then row and try to look over your shoulder to see the bioluminescence. For me, that got tiring, and my neck hurt after awhile. I wish we could have just sat on the seats in the raft. BUT - it was still wonderful. I would like to do it again, but in a kayak. A++++ adventure! We live in Kansas, but I can't wait to go do some other nature tours with BK Adventures again. Jordan, in the orange shirt was the 'captain' of some of the tours 🙂 Our ages were 6, 8, 11, 13, 40, 41, 42, 69. We did this after a day touring the Kennedy Space Center on July 21st, 2023.
