Highlights
  • Myakka Canopy Walkway - 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.

What's Included
  • Bottled water

Oh My-Akka! - Such a great time! Definitely worth it to anyone considering. The bikes were so fun to ride and we had both stretches of road where we can zoom along the forest as well as paths that take you closer into nature. We saw all kinds of wildlife and had nature’s beauty up close! Our tour guide was also very educated in the plant life as well and gave us a thorough background and education on some of the native plants in the region!

Book it! - Book, Book, Book! First time riding e-bikes with our 13 year old daughter. We had a blast! It was a great ride! Jack and Odie our tour guides were kind, knowledgeable of park and patient with us first time riders. It was quite easy to manage and felt very safe and we're riding at whatever speed we felt comfortable in no time! It's a great park, learned a lot and found shade!!! Didn't feel as hot as you'd think! Highly recommend! A great memory added to our trip! Thanks Jack!!

Fun ride with lots of things to see, including gators! - Jack (and Odie, his dog) were excellent hosts. Jack was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the plants, the gators. He made it interesting and fun. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody looking to do a little something different.

We had a great time and would do it again in a heartbeat. - We had a great time and would do it again in a heartbeat. Everyone at Endless Summer were very professional. We were both new to e-bikes and they took the time to insure we were setup properly and comfortable with operating them. After the ride we went back to their shop where they were very helpful in answering lots of questions from an inquisitive Engineer (reliability, maintenance, etc). They let us test drive several of the models to determine which bike was best for each of us. We liked the experience so much that we purchased radrover e-bikes for our personal use.

10/10 Recommend for all ages - Had an absolute blast the e-bike tour through the beautiful Myakka River State Park. Derek and Jack, the knowledgeable and fun guides from Endless Summer E-Bikes were great. Plenty of stops along the way to see alligators, birds and learn some history about the park. Waters were included and at each stop they made sure that everyone had water to stay hydrated. We had a people of all ages, who after being sized up to the right size bike and a few test spins in the parking lot, quickly were comfortable with the e-bikes. As part of the tour we stopped at the Myakka Canopy Walkway and Observation Tower. 10/10 recommend!

Book it! Do it! - My family and I had so much fun! Jack and Mike were awesome guides. Professional, informative, knowledgeable, and FUN! Though we didn’t get to meet Derek in person, I appreciated his text messages the night before with helpful tips and info! The park itself was amazing! The trails are well maintained, with clean facilities for bathroom breaks. The canopy walk and observation tower are open to the public, and feature awe inspiring views of the park. If you want to see alligators in their natural habitat, this is the place! Booking tip: Though Viator/Trip Advisor books based on age, if your child is an experienced rider, and can safely operate the bike independently, there will be an adult ticket charge. Well worth it! Our 11 year old smiled ear to ear all day, and had a blast!
