      Absolutely fantastic experience from beginning to end. Derek and Jack were fun and informative and also made sure that we were safe on our adventure. A fabulous way to experience some of the abundant beauty of Myakka River State Park. Thoroughly enjoyed our day and look forward to talking others on this experience. Derek and Jack did a first-rate job and threw in several wonderful 'extras.' Do not hesitate to book this trip...you won't regret it!
      Fun e-bike ride

      Derrick and Jack were terrific guides! The ride was fun and interesting. The best part was the canopy walk.
      Great trip!
      Sandra_O, Apr 2024
      Great trip! Lots of wildlife, interesting information on the animals and plants in the park and an awesome way to see this amazing place. E-bikes were easy to ride (it was the first time on a e-bike for many of us). Highly recommend this trip!

      We had a wonderful time! The scenery was beautiful. Derek and Jack were great guides, full of interesting facts and able to point out wildlife and points of interest. We had never used electric bikes before but they were thorough and patient in showing how to use them.

      Fun in the sun
      Brian_P, Apr 2024
      The hosts on the bike ride were so nice and knowledgeable about the gators in the park and the park itself. It was a lot of fun and a great way to explore the park and the canopy bridge was awesome.

      What a great experience! Awesome chance to ride an ebike for the first time, and we had so much fun. The guides were laid back, chill and super friendly. Highly recommend! Ebiking might just get me into biking again! Loved it!
      Response from Host, Apr 2024
      Thank you so much Brian!! We get this very often but it never gets old hearing that folks are getting back into biking, the little bit of assistance these bikes give you can make a world of difference!
      E-bike to safari was the best activity for me and my sons through our vacation to FL.
      Kinga_S, Apr 2024

      Fun way to see Myakka
      judy_g, Apr 2024
      The ebike excirsion was a blast. Saw alot of beautiful scenery and birds,, along with many gators at a safe distance. Derrick & Jack were the best, making sure we all had water bottles, as many pictures as we liked, and gave us tons of interesting information along the tour. They were the best! Highly recommend!!
      Response from Host, Apr 2024
      You guys are the best, thank you!!
      Great Excursion!
      Tom_M, Apr 2024
      My son and I went on the e-bike tour of Myakka State Park. Derrek, Jack and Odie the dog were fantastic. Very helpful and full of interesting knowledge about the history of the park and the wildlife that inhabits it. They took time to fully explain the workings of the bikes and allowed ample time for everyone to get comfortable with their operation before setting out. (As an aside; do not let being inexperienced with e-bikes dissuade you. Neither my son nor I had ever been on one before, and we were very confident within 5 minutes.) The e-bikes really do make the trip effortless if you want, so even those who might not have the stamina to do the trip on a traditional mountain bike will have no problem on an ebike. We had a great time. We saw a lot of gators and a variety of birds including a spoonbill. The landscape we rode through was magnificent and we got a look from above on the canopy walk. We would love to try another of their bike adventures. Alas, that will have to wait for another trip. Highly recommend!
      Great times!
      Nan_T, Mar 2024
      We had a beautiful day! Derek remembered each person’s name! Little doggie, Opie, rode in the backpack! The bikes were a blast! Saw tons of alligators! Canopy walk beautiful. Stopping at gift shop made it nice for our out of state family! All in all a great workout and lots of fun! Thank you!!
      A fun way to see the Park...
      Lisa_A, Mar 2024
      A fun way to see the Park with wonderful guides. The trip lasted 2.5 hours and provided plenty of water
      Super fun!! The best tour in Sarasota; the best guides!
      Mary_M, Mar 2024
      Look no further, you have found the absolute best of the best for a guided ebike tour! Our tour guide Derek and his team were all really wonderful people, just a group of really good guys; friendly, informative, professional, helpful and flexible….and so knowledgeable. We learned so much on the Myakka tour and it was super fun. Everything runs so smoothly that you forget you are on an organized tour. We never felt rushed, we got to choose our bikes, and they were very good about safety as well, guiding the group to see the alligators and all the stops we made along the way to the canopy trail to the tower. The tour was exactly on time and felt effortless! Excellent value for the money. Our boys were very into the ride on their e-bikes and all of the amazing stops in the gorgeous stops we made throughout the park. Jack and Odie were a treat and he, Derek and the other guide were super cool guys, taking the time to tell us history, scientific information and share so much knowledge about the area and the surrounding wildlife. Another nice touch was they took pictures of every family in several spots along the tour; amazing pictures! And then shared them with us on the spot at the end of the tour. What a wonderful keepsake with photo memories we would never been able to get by ourselves! There honestly couldn’t have been anything better on this awesome tour! Whether you’re with your kids or just by yourself or a couple, young and retired alike, this is a must do in the Sarasota area!! An additional note: the next day we wanted to rent e-bikes together as a family and go exploring ourselves on another trail and because it was last minute there were no options and it was our last day there we thought of Derek and called him on his cell phone. He not only answered. He met us at the shop and rented us four bikes on the spot, and let us take them out for the day, but only charged us the two hour rate. How amazing is that? what a great guy please if you’re looking for any kind of E bike tour through Myakka or the sunset tour or just renting bikes yourselves, look no further than Derek at Endless Summer, Thanks Derek and team!! we loved it so much and we will be back !
      Great È-bike ride in Myakka State Park
      MARCIA_B, Mar 2024
      We were a bit concerned in the morning when we arrived for our e-bike tour and Derek and the team unloaded about 25 bikes! But there was no problem, even though there were many people on our ride as the team easily manuvered us all through easy rides with interesting stops while sharing the history of the park, finding us baby ‘gators to look at and taking action shots of us all on our bikes. My friend and I definitely enjoyed the trip and would recommend it highly!
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Thank you so much for the kind words! This is definitely larger than a typical group, we really only allow it to get that big when we have to re-schedule folks from a rain cancellation. We stick to a pretty strict guide to rider ratio so when we do get big groups we just bring an extra guide. Thank you again!
      Education that’s fun!
      Thomas_P, Mar 2024
      Beautiful park, great equipment and excellent guide. Short drive from Sarasota to a truly diverse ecological environment. Booking was very easy with clear direction. We met our guides Jack and Odie in a parking lot near the park entrance. Jack made sure everyone had a bike sized properly and adjusted to our liking. Explained the operation of the e-bike (RAD bikes) and went through some safety tips. Abundant water supply for each rider. Helmets were available if you wanted one. About an 8 mile trek with multiple stops to see wildlife and understand the ecosystem of the park which long ago was ranch land. Jack was very knowledgeable about the plant life. We sampled edible flowers along the way. He took multiple memory pictures for everyone. Great trip all around.

      A ride in the park
      John_R, Mar 2024
      The park was very crowded. The treetop experience was very good. Our guides were very attentive and told a few jokes.
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      I'm not sure if the three star was intentional, you tipped well and texted how great of a time you had.. Florida in March, especially during the first week of spring break is busy. like busy busy. This was an abnormally small tour but unfortunately we cannot control how many folks they allow into the park. We provide the same level of attentiveness to our guests year-round but If you prefer less people, our suggestion would be to not come the #1 busiest week of the year.. June July and August are very quiet.
      A fun adventure
      Amy_B, Mar 2024
      Such a great way to start off our day. Our guide was A+, he was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We will be back!
      Do not miss this opportunity. You CAN ride and bike!
      Mary_S, Mar 2024
      Oh Yeah! This is an amazing experience to effortly see the unspoiled Mayakka Forest! Derek and his crew Jack and Michael lead you down roads and off road paths to see the prairie, wetlands and swamps in this historic former ranch lands. You would never see all the beauty from you car. The ebikes are easy to operate and the oversize tires make them comfortable and safe to ride on all parts of the park. We are retired folks who like to stay active and our group seemed to be all ages. Do not be intimidated by the bikes. The EndlessSummer crew will be with you every moment to help you feel safe, encourage you along and take endless photos for you and your group. We stopped at several spots to see gators, hear about the origins of the park and stopped at the park visitor center to grab a snack and use facilities. This stop is the main hub where the boat tour leaves from and several LARGE gators like to sun themselves on the opposite bank. The highlight was a wooden suspension bridge that led to a observation tower that provided views over the woodland hammok and the entire park. I would do this exact same tour again. Thank You EndlessSummerSQR.com for a perfect day exploring.
      A Great Outing
      Bruce_J, Mar 2024
      The trip was great. The bikes were well maintained. Derek & Co. were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I’d recommend to everyone, even those who feel the bike riding might be too tough for them; you actually don’t have to pedal at if if you don’t want to.
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Thank you so much Bruce! And to everyone reading this that may be on the fence, it's easier than you think, I promise!!
