A TASTE OF SEGWAY
Have you ever seen groups of people zipping past you on a Segway and thought to yourself…That looks like fun?! If so, our Taste of Segway Auckland Segway ride is just for you!
Once we’ve showed you the basics and you’ve honed your Segway skills on our training ground, you’ll be off to experience the awesome sense of fun and adventure that we like to call the ‘Segway Sensation’.
Glide around the beautiful waterfront of Devonport, originally named Te Hau Kapua, (meaning Cloud carried along by Wind) Tamaki Makaurau/ Auckland’s historic seaside village, until you reach Cheltenham Beach. From there you’ll have a superb view of Rangitoto Island, our youngest volcanic cone, rising majestically out of the sea.
You’ll also have a chance to put the Segway through its paces in a local park. On our way back, you’ll glide uphill and down dale through the back streets as you admire the charming Victorian villas and make your way back to Devonport Wharf.
You need to allow 1½ hours for this Auckland Segway experience as we need some training time before the hour long ride. It’s the perfect fun Auckland activity to entertain teenagers and adults. You’re sure to have the Segway smile after this ride!

If you’re driving from the City over the bridge you need to allow 45 minutes as traffic can be heavy coming into Devonport via Lake Road.

FANTASTIC FACTS
Rangitoto erupted from the seabed only 650 years ago.
