Island Ferry Eco Tours

Our Fort DeSoto History bike Tour is a 15-mile guided tour, originating from the Tierra Verde Marina Resort, heading down toward Fort DeSoto Park. This adventure tour strolls past the multi-million dollar mansions of the West Shore enclave of Tierra Verde, then continues through the Shell Key Wildlife preserve and into Fort DeSoto Park. At the park, we take the bikes to the historic fort, and walk our guests through the 100 year old gun batteries, bunkers, and the historic museum. Finally, we’ll visit Fort DeSoto’s magnificent fishing pier giving our guests a look at the Gulf of Mexico and the Egmont Key channel, with the giant majestic ships entering the harbor, as well as the dolphins and manatees at play. While there they can stop for the restrooms as well as ice cream, drinks and other refreshments. We then get back onto the bikes for the ride back to the marina.
