About
You will start your experience at Capt Yak's kayak launch area just outside Ft Desoto's park entrance.
PLEASE NOTE:
This year's Hurricane Season has caused extreme damage to the area including Ft Desoto. We have modified the tour to see as much of the park that is open along with the Tierra Verde Bayway. We will not be able to see some of the areas listed in the description but this is still a must do experience.
If you are on the fence feel free to reach out to us.
Your Guide will take you into the park passing over a bridge overlooking Shell Key Preserve and Tampa Bay. Ebikes will be taken to the historic fort, and walk our guests through the 100 year old gun batteries bunkers, and the historic museum, we'll visit Fort DeSoto's fishing pier giving our guests a look at the Gulf of Mexico and the Egmont Key channel, with ships entering and exiting the harbor, as well as the possibilities of seeing dolphins and manatees at play.
While there you can stop for the restrooms as well as ice cream, drinks and other refreshment. We will continue on the Ebikes through the park to Arrowhead Picnic area passing Buncess Pass and Shell key., our final stop will be at East Beach where you can take a quick dip and enjoy the view of the Magnificent Sunshine Skyway Bridge. This tour will be filled with unforgettable History and Beautiful wildlife.
