What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you decide whether this tour fits your group and your morning.

• No experience needed. Many reviewers had never ridden a Segway before, including travellers over 60. Several said the one-on-one training and practice time made the machines easy to learn.
• Fitness and limits. The operator asks for moderate physical fitness, enough to ride a bicycle, and a weight between 45 and 117 kg. The minimum age is 12, with children accompanied by an adult, and the tour is not recommended for travellers over 65 or for pregnant travellers. Participants sign a waiver.
• Breakfast at sunrise. The picnic breakfast is served while you watch the sunrise from the viewing area. One reviewer found the pastries cold and stale, so temper expectations on that item.
• Small group. The tour runs with a maximum of 10 travellers. Reviewers describe patient, individual attention from the guides during training, which suits the small group size.
• Weather matters. The operator states the experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, travellers are offered a different date or a full refund.
• Entry fees separate. National park entry tickets are not included in the tour price. You need to cover park entry yourself, so factor that into your budget.
