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.

My husband and I have done the bioluminescent kayaking tour with BK Adventure twice. Both times were amazing! The most recent time was with Jeremiah and Jay. They were great tour guides and made the experience fun and informational. We saw dolphins and a beautiful sunset. After dark, we saw so much bioluminescent activity!! It was so cool! If you haven't seen it, then I highly recommend this tour! 10/10

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!

Jungle Jay and Shay were awesome guides! Me and my wife did the sunset tour. Tip: keep an open mind and take a tour with zero expectations and I promise you will have an amazing time! We didn't see a sunset cause it was very over cast and in fact we got drenched with rain! But we seen birds of all types and fish launching out of the water. Also right off the bat we saw a pod of dolphins! And shortly after we saw manatees! Then half way through we had a gator swim by us. When it came time to see the bioluminescence we went out and it was beautiful. My wife said she felt like she was touching the stars. Jay and Shay did so well with our group and were so informative and engaging. all in all 10/10 great Job guys. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

My brother came to visit from Alaska, and I was looking for something unique to do. I found BK Adventures online, and had a fantastic experience with Dan on our private tour.
He was knowledgeable and friendly, taking us through the best spots to see wildlife. We saw several manatee, dolphin, and plenty of birds and even schools of fish jumping along water's surface.
The coolest part was the night portion where Dan was able to lead us to the glowing Jelly combs! Nothing like holding giant glowing boogers in your hand!
It lasted about 3hrs from start to finish, as watched the sunset, and then waited for darkness, to begin looking for these cool luminous creatures!
Thanks for a memorable tour!
