Myakka State Park E-bike Safari
Description
We have been avid explorers of Myakka River State Park for the better part of two decades and have been operating tours for nearly 5 years so our knowledge and expertise of the park and it's wildlife inhabitants is unmatched! Our guides are also extremely proficient in photography so you will leave with plenty of great photo mementos at no additional cost! Perhaps what makes our experience the most unique is that our top of the line E-bikes allow you to choose how much effort you put into the ride. Put your assist level low and get some exercise or allow the bike to do all the work and see the entire park sweat-free.

Itinerary
The Myakka Canopy Walkway provides easy access to observe life in the treetops of an oak/palm hammock. As an outdoor laboratory for research and education, it is also a place for discovery and provides an opportunity for visitors to see canopy inhabitants up close. Completed in 2000, this structure is the first public treetop trail in North America. The walkway is suspended 25 feet above the ground and extends 100 feet through the hammock canopy. The taller tower soars 74 feet in the air to present a spectacular view of treetops, wetlands and the prairie/hammock interface. You can look down on eagles, hawks, vultures, and the tops of live oak and sabal palm trees.
You will be greeted by our guides where you'll promptly get a thorough explanation of the electric bicycles and all safety protocols. Then were off to explore Florida's largest State Park! The majestic Myakka river flows through 58 square miles of vast unspoiled wetlands, prairies, hammocks and pinelands, where we’re all but guaranteed to see numerous deer, alligators (at a very safe distance), birds and so much more! If old Florida beauty and nature is more your pace, this is the tour for you!

The cancellation on the day of was not professional at all. If the customer has to give 24 hr notice to cancel, then so should the vendor.
The guy texted me at 6:00a canceled the tour. I believe as the customer we have to give 24 hour notice for cancellation. The provider for this tour should have done the same. As I did not see his text until after we were already at the tour place. I also had reserved an uber and then had to call him back to get us. It was a waste of my morning and money for the uber. I was very very disappointed and upset. The tour guide should have been more considerate and cancelled 24 hours before. Thanks for wasting my time.
We pay a fairly significant amount for a weather app used for small air craft pilots, I was woken up early from a lightning advisory, relayed the message and what they predicted is precisely what happened, the entire park was flooded within 30-40 min. We’ve never not given a full refund when weather is the culprit.. We also offered several free options including the full/immediate refund as well as joining us the following day for 100% free. You’re refund has been been processed, if there’s anything else I can do please don’t hesitate to reach out!
The state park got flooded. But Derek made a way for us to have some fun with the e-bikes anyway. I was impressed. Well be back
My daughter and I went on the e-bike tour with Derek in Myakka River State Park and had the best time! Derek was funny, informative, and ensured we had beautiful photos to commemorate our experience. Highly recommend!!
Derek was amazing guide. Knew a lot of information about the founders of this park and places where you can take beautiful videos and photos. about the places where animals live and interesting facts about them.
