Our guide did a fabulous job. For someone who cannot balance a scooter, i found the Segway much easier to control and our guide did a great job in boosting my confidence. I'd recomment stops at certain points to take pictures, we only had our pics taken at a cetain spot. But overall, loved the activity and our guide was kind enough to take a video of me on a segway.
Meeting Point:
Please meet at the start/finish point, the One Mile Powerhouse Car Park, 130 Lake Esplanade. A 1 min drive or 10 min walk from town at the end of Lake Esplanade you come to a roundabout with 3 major exits and a dirt road exit. The dirt road exit has a sign to indicate the One Mile Powerhouse. Go up the road into the car park area to meet your guide who will be there 5 mins before your booking time.
Take this Queenstown Segway Bay Ride tour that lasts an hour. Get to sightsee Queenstown on the easy-to-learn and ride Segways with Smart Motion technology to keep you balanced and in control.
After meeting your guide, you'll complete the safety terms form and get fitted with a helmet. Then it's time for a quick training lesson to get acquainted with your Segway. You'll start with a little one-on-one session then you'll be left to have some time to get used to it.
Once you've mastered the simple control of the Segway, you're off for your Queenstown sightseeing ride. Start with a lakeside photo stop, then onwards for a spin around Queenstown Bay. You'll take in the beautiful scenic views along St. Omer Park, Earnslaw Park, Marine Parade and the Queenstown Gardens.
Look around over the beautiful Lake Wakatipu to see Cecil Peak, Walter Peak and the aptly named Remarkables mountain range. All of this while riding on this fascinating transporter.
This exciting tour will give you an experience of how much fun these machines are to ride while seeing some of the beauty that Queenstown has to offer.

Riders between 35kgs to 120kgs will be fine to partake in the Segway activity. If within 5kgs of this range (e.g. kids weighing 30-34kgs), please check with The Operator about suitability. There isn’t a specific age restriction, but generally, it’s recommended for ages ten and above.
Segways are easy to ride and your experienced guide will get you up and going in no time. The Operator has had customers up to 87 years old and customers who can’t ride bikes – all have managed the Segways just fine.
Unless it’s a really hot day, then bring an extra layer than what you would wear if going for a walk. You can leave it in your Segway bag if you don’t need it. In Winter, warm socks and shoes are recommended, along with beanies, gloves and jackets. The Operator has spare gloves for those that need them.
The Segways run on electric motors powered by rechargeable batteries which last many years. The energy for this is sourced from a clean, renewable energy source, hydropower, making it very environmentally friendly.
