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.

Bucket list item - wow! What a cool unique experience for all of us (age 15, 15, 17, 40, 40) zero raft paddle experience! This was hands down our fave activity! We saw so many amazing things! Including 2 dolphins and possible shark. It rained for about 10 minutes and we didn’t miss a beat! Our guide Ranger was full of knowledge and was wonderful! Highly recommend!

We took the sunset/bioluminescent tour and it was more magical than I could have imagined! Our guide was the best! The sunset was gorgeous and we were surrounded by manatee and dolphins. Once the sun went down the water started to glow. The sea life below were streaking and jumping all around us. It was magnificent!

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.

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!!
