Get ready for the island-hopping adventure of a lifetime with this longtime favorite activity of Ocracoke Island residents and visitors alike. Portsmouth Island ATV Tours provides shuttle service and a guided tour of Portsmouth Island - a deserted but fascinating island that’s situated just south of Ocracoke.
Portsmouth Island ATV Tours offers morning and afternoon adventures that depart from Silver Lake Harbor to the heart of the historic Portsmouth village – a small community that has been abandoned for roughly 50 years. After checking out this historic ghost town, tour-goers will then take a ride along the undeveloped Portsmouth Island shoreline, where exceptional shelling and fishing is waiting. Along the way, your friendly guide will point out the unique sights and point of interest that are abundant on the island, and will share the fascinating history of this once-thriving port community. With an easy ride to the island and all equipment accounted for – including the easy-to-maneuver ATVS once you’ve landed on Portsmouth – this adventure is accessible for visitors of all varieties. A popular activity for anyone who wants to uncover the centuries of history along the Outer Banks, Portsmouth Island ATV Tours is an adventure and a fun outing that everyone in the crew will adore.
