What the Tour Entails: A Detailed Breakdown

Meeting Point and First Impressions

The adventure begins at 1009 E Lakeshore Blvd in Kissimmee, where you’ll pick up your electric trike. This spot offers free parking, which is handy for those driving in. Our first impression was that the location is straightforward—no fuss, with clear instructions for pickup.

The trikes themselves are surprisingly sturdy and comfortable, with wide seats and a backrest, making long rides pleasant. The large rear basket is a thoughtful touch, perfect for carrying a picnic, extra clothes, or even fishing gear if you decide to indulge.

Legs 1 & 2: From Kissimmee to St. Cloud

You’ll start by riding a few miles south along the lakeshore trail, soaking in views of the water and keeping an eye out for local birds and ducks. The trail is smooth and multi-use, suitable for all skill levels, and the ride is relaxed—approximately 20 minutes to reach St. Cloud Lakefront Park.

This part of the journey gives you a feel of Florida’s lakeside atmosphere—peaceful, with gentle breezes and the occasional splash of a fish or the call of a Sandhill Crane. Several reviewers mentioned how effortless it was to cruise along with no need to worry about balancing or pedaling, making it accessible even for those with limited mobility or less cycling experience.

Stop 2: Exploring St. Cloud Lakefront Park and Wildlife

Once at the park, you’re free to explore the sandy beach, playground, and splash pad. The beach area is perfect for dipping toes into the sand or building a quick sandcastle, although swimming is at your own risk due to nearby alligators and snakes. Some visitors shared their cautious approach—”You can dip your toes, but I wouldn’t go in too far with the wildlife around.”

A highlight is riding out to the pavilion in the middle of the lake for panoramic views—definitely a photo-worthy spot. Continuing your ride along the pond, you’ll likely see turtles, raccoons, and various bird species. Some reviews highlighted the excitement of spotting wildlife up close: “We saw turtles basking on logs and an alligator sunning itself on the bank—just make sure to keep a safe distance if you’re dipping your toes!”

Stop 3: Lunch at Crabby Bill’s (Optional)

After soaking in the sights and wildlife, you might want to refuel. Crabby Bill’s is a popular choice, offering outdoor seating with lake views. While lunch isn’t included in the tour price, reviewers enjoy the casual, fish-themed ambiance, and sitting outside provides a perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. There’s a fun frog-shaped bike rack out front where you can park your trike.

This stop is flexible, allowing you to spend about an hour eating, resting, or simply enjoying the view. Keep in mind that food and drinks are at your own expense.

Stop 4: Exploring Downtown St. Cloud

Post-lunch, you’ll head about a mile into downtown St. Cloud along Florida Avenue. The downtown area is charming, with a mixture of boutique shops, coffee spots, bars, and a local movie theater. Reviewers mentioned that walking around allowed them to discover hidden gems, like a cozy ice cream shop perfect for a sweet treat after your ride.

The walk from the parking area is short, and the atmosphere feels local and welcoming—ideal for those wanting more than just scenery but a taste of community life.

Return Ride and Reflection

Finally, after exploring downtown, you’ll cycle back north along the lakeshore trail to your starting point. The overall ride covers about 4 miles, with stops along the way that emphasize wildlife, local flavor, and scenic beauty.

The entire experience takes around 3 hours, with an extra 40 minutes spent on the return trip—leisurely enough to enjoy each segment without feeling rushed.
