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!

We had the absolute best time on this. Our tour guide Derek, made sure everything was ready and we all were comfortable on the bikes before we left the starting point. He was very knowledgeable during our tour snd gave us insights on the park and answrred any questions we had. He even laughed with us which made things less awkward during the tour. Would do again when we visit.
This tour was absolutely awesome! Our tour guide, Derek was amazing! He made sure all of the bikes were ready to go before we began, he even adjusted as needed during the trip. He was knowledgable and so much fun all during the excursion. The state park is beautiful and we saw a few alligators as well as other birds and wildlife. The e-bikes were a blast and out family (including teenagers) had the BEST time!
Claire and I had a great time. The Tour guide was very informative. The bikes were in great shape and the Park experience was wonderful. I highly recommend the E-bike Safai Bill
Excellent way for couples and families or anyone who can ride a bike to spend a few hours enjoying the surroundings.
Derek and Chad were wonderful, fun guides! They were both very informative and funny! This was the best way to see Myakka state park. We would definitely recommend this tour!
The best way to experience the true natural beauty of Florida wilderness. Derek was an incredible guide with a great sense of humor. The group was nine including Derek and made small talk amongst everyone easy. Ran about 3 hours total including the canopy walk and tower (don’t miss the tower!). The ebike is the perfect way to see the expansive park, miles of trails and wildlife. What a value for the money! This was a highlight of our trip. I can’t wait to come back and do the beach ride and visit their shop. Thanks Derek!
This was a great family outing for me and my 18 year old daughter and 11 year old daughter. We are residents of Sarasota so often don't do many tours but recently realized we were missing out on some of the fun tourist type activities. We had a blast and the tour guide was top notch.
Derek and Chad were great tour guides, and the tour was awesome.
Professional guide, quality bikes, reasonable price, accomodating staff. Not to set a precedent but we were almost half an hour late, they waited for us.
This was such a fun experience for our whole family. Derek was super knowledgeable and the tour was just the right length. We had never ridden e-bikes before and it was a blast. This was a great activity to do before hitting the beach in the afternoon. Highly recommend you try this!
