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.

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!

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!

Incredible experience!! I wish we could have stayed out all night.
The wake of my kayak would glow as if I was in Avatars.

We went on the Sunset Kayaking with Bioluminescence tour tonight with Jay & Gabe as our guides. Both were great & Jay was awesome leading us around to see different fish, plants, trees, birds, & other animals including manatees when it was light out. We heard black drum fish mating calls - and that was wild! You could feel the reverberations in the kayak - so cool! We saw a beautiful sunset too! Then went to shore for an opportunity to stretch our legs & I didn't know how much I needed that until I was out of the kayak - it was a welcome stop!
We added a few more kayaks onto our group and went back out to check out the bioluminescence. I'm glad the email they sent included what to bring & wear - we read it & it was very helpful! The weather tonight was amazing & Jay taught us how to move the paddles to see the plankton dino bioluminescence and bioluminescent comb jellies - we were lucky & saw both! We got to hold a comb jelly & see them in a bowl to see them up close & their iridescence. Such a once in a lifetime experience - we were so excited! So many stars out tonight too! Jay pointed out several formations - he's knowledgeable about so much!
We appreciated this longer tour & would highly recommend it! We would also do this again on a future trip & will tell our friends about it. Truly a 'can't miss' experience! Thank you BK Adventure - so glad we chose you too do this with us!
