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.

Such a great experience! You really get a glimpse of Florida and what its nature has to offer. Two friends and I did the sunset & bioluminescence tour in Titusville. Upon driving up to the meeting we saw dolphins, stingrays, and plenty of birds. Our tour guide Jay was AWESOME. He was very knowledgeable about the nature around us and kept us safe the whole time. The sunset tour was just the 4 of us. We saw plenty of manatees and gators. There was just silence around us, besides the occasional blow from a manatee and the sounds of owls and other birds. Once the sun set more people joined the tour for the bioluminescence. It was so cool seeing the water light up. The stars were also so bright. I cannot wait to do it again. Jay really is the best tour guide!! If you end up having him you’ll have a great time. Cannot recommend this enough 🙂

We had a great tour with leader Katy. She is professional, nice and kind-hearted. The team was pretty helpful during the trip, and their expertise and knowledge really help a lot during the tour. We did see many comb jellies and many other interesting things.

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!

Shoutout to BK Tours and the three tour guides Dan, Brooke and I believe his name was Nick I’m so sorry 😢 we forgot his name! They were amazing! We had an amazing tour we saw Dolphins 🐬 on Dolphins and more Dolphins! Manatees and a mom with her baby! We booked the Bioluminescence tour and Brooke really was phenomenal! Dan the man had the jokes and all of us well educated on our experience in real time! I was reassured by him to stay for the bioluminescence part of the tour because mosquitoes 🦟 were eating some white girl booty up! I am so glad we stuck it out and got to see the Avatar water! They was amazing and we saw dolphins in the bio chasing dinner! All in all an epic birthday 🥳 I was serenaded by everyone for my birthday and it was really sweet they cared that much to do that 🫶🏼🎉🎊🥳Thank you!
Waiting on that sunset pic Dan took we would love it mucho!Faith & Rafael Rosario
