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 had a great experience with our sunset kayak and bioluminescent tour. Our tour guide, John, was pretty awesome and knowledgeable about the area. He gave us some pretty interesting information about the river, allowed for us to move at our own pace, and was a pretty chill guy. He was fun to talk to, shared some stories about his time as a tour guide in the area and was generally fun to be around. We enjoyed a magnificent sunset, an ominous and entrancing full moon, saw some dolphins, and had a great night enjoying each other’s company and the beauty of the area.

We went on the clear bottom kayak tour with Dan for the bioluminescence experience and absolutely loved it! We appreciated all the knowledge Dan shared with us about the Cone Jelly’s as well as how to catch them and encouraging us to hold them. It was a perfect calm night with all the stars above us.. it was magical. Thank you for this unforgettable experience 🫶🏼

Highly recommend! Was the experience we had hoped for, had a great time and good for groups.
Jay & Jimmy were experts on the area and despite the warning that you never know what you might see due to daily conditions, they made sure that we got to experience all the night had to offer. Gave great info on what we saw and made sure everyone in the group got an up-close experience with the bioluminescent creatures. Side note, these guys made it feel very safe and inclusive so that was nice.
I would recommend wearing flip flops and bring a spare pair of shorts since your bottom side will likely get 'damp'.
