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 friends and I did the daytime Manatee and dolphin kayak tour. Our tour guides Bri and Sebastian were awesome! Super friendly and knowledgeable. We had such a great time seeing so many different wildlife on our way to the tour we saw snakes and an otter. On our tour, we saw some pretty birds, a little alligator, and several manatees and their cute noses coming out of the water. We didn't see dolphins on this tour but we did during lunch time by the bridge This trip was a surprise birthday gift for my friend and she had an incredible time. We even sang happy birthday to her on the water. Thank you Bri and Sebastian for this lovely experience.

This was hands down one of the coolest things I've ever done or see. We did the sunset and bioluminescent tour. We had Michael Sarah and faith guide us and all of them were so nice and helpful. We seen manatees and dolphins and at night tons of fish and bioluminescent was so bright. Very neat experience. Definitely recommend.

Oh my gosh - this was AMAZING! We caught the bioluminescence on a '5' night (rated 1-5), so we really got to see it well. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and informative, as well as friendly. We had eight family members in our party, so we took the raft. My only complaint, which is something that is inherent in using a raft, is that you have to sit on the edge facing in, then row and try to look over your shoulder to see the bioluminescence. For me, that got tiring, and my neck hurt after awhile. I wish we could have just sat on the seats in the raft. BUT - it was still wonderful. I would like to do it again, but in a kayak. A++++ adventure! We live in Kansas, but I can't wait to go do some other nature tours with BK Adventures again. Jordan, in the orange shirt was the 'captain' of some of the tours 🙂 Our ages were 6, 8, 11, 13, 40, 41, 42, 69. We did this after a day touring the Kennedy Space Center on July 21st, 2023.
