Home to the Ribault Club, once an exclusive resort now acts as a visitor center and a special occasion location. A visit to Fort George Island is sure to please anyone who enjoys Florida History and nature.

Enjoy a unique guided tour aboard a Segway from EcoMotion Tours.

A Segway is a two-wheeled device that is battery powered and steered by the way that the passenger leans. It’s comparable to a scooter, but much more modernized and requires little to no physical exertion on the rider’s part.

EcoMotion Segways provide a fun and unique way to explore the natural beauty of the park. Riders are led on a two hour adventure through Fort George Island to the Kingsley Plantation (which is the oldest Plantation that still stands today).

But that’s not all. After Kingsley, you continue to ride through three miles of maritime forests where you can observe and learn about the many different types of plant and wildlife that inhabit this beautiful and scenic historical park.
