on 22 June 2018 in Local News

So next time you’re around the Gold Coast area, make sure you experience the beauty of the region from a new perspective. Keep reading to learn more about tours to help you explore this unique region.

 

About Segway tours

 

Segways are a completely different way to get around. They are easily rechargeable, fit almost anywhere, and anyone can use without fear of losing their balance, as the Segway comes already fitted with an internal gyroscope. All these characteristics make the Segway the perfect transportation device for tours. Forget walking — with a Segway, you can cover much more territory in a fun and safe manner.

 

Segway tours can take place in cities, including large parks or reserves, or large facilities. Since the inception of the Segway Company, tours on these vehicles in cities all over the world have become a unique way to experience a new place.

 

Top 5 segway tours on the Gold Coast

1. SomeOtherWays

 

SomeOtherWays Segway tours provide a professional and safe tour experience. SomeOtherWays guarantees you'll have a blast on their top of the line Segway PT Scooters. While some tours may use the imitation version of Segway (known as ‘Chegway’), SomeOtherWays offers you the chance on the one and only Segway Personal Transporter X2 class — the most futuristic way to get around Surfers Paradise.

 

Before every tour, SomeOtherWays has a short training lesson included in the price of the tour to make sure you’re familiar with the machine.

 

Their two tours on offer are a 1-hour adventure, which takes you through the beautiful beaches of central Gold Coast, and a 2-hour adventure, which will take you off the beaten path for a full swim and BBQ experience (this is only available in Summer).

2. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Safari Segway

 

Head to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and embark on an incredibly fun and beautiful tour in the midst of nature! Featuring 70 years of history and growth in the 27 hectares of coastal rainforest, it’ll be crazy to have to walk all that for a tour — luckily, you don’t have to. Just hop on a Segway, relax, and take time to explore this stunning park as you stop and feed the kangaroos and learn about the Tasmanian Devils from your own experienced wildlife officer.

3. McIntosh Island Segway tour

 

Starting from McIntosh Island, this 60-minute Segway all-terrain adventure will take you through the heart of McIntosh Island — navigating your Segway over bridges, around lakes, landscaped waterfalls, a cave and running creeks. Get ready to see a variety of stunning wildlife, such as lyrebirds, ducks and peacocks. You’ll also cruise around the famous Main Beach strip and then head towards the heart of Surfers Paradise.

4. Gold Coast Segway Safari Adventure

 

On this 90-minute Segway Gold Coast eco-adventure tour, you’ll travel from the city to the bush. You’ll ride along Main Beach ocean pathway, and then into the Federation Coastal reserve — one of the few remaining sand dune systems on the Gold Coast. Expect to go through the beautiful rainforest until you reach the Gold Coast Seaway at The Spit, where you can be delighted to marvel at South Stradbroke Island.

5. Royal Pines All-Terrain Segway Tour

 

This 60-minute, all-terrain Segway adventure will take you through the mesmerising Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast. After a brief training session, you’ll be ready to hop on your Segway and explore this 200 acre property. You’ll travel through a tunnel under the main road, explore the bush and zoom around the lake and golf course.  

 

So, what are you waiting for? Next time you’re in or around the Gold Coast, make sure you get to know the best spots of the city from a new perspective, right from the comfort of a Segway.

 

Head to The Strand Coolangatta to experience a range of dining and entertainment options — and don’t forget to hit the shops while you’re here.
