Operated by Segway on Q · Queenstown, Otago Region
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Queenstown Bay, Segway on Q offers an accessible and exhilarating way to experience one of New Zealand’s premier adventure hubs. Queenstown itself occupies a slender inlet on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, framed by rugged peaks and native beech forest that mark the southern edge of the Southern Alps. This city is renowned worldwide for outdoor thrill-seeking—from skiing on nearby Remarkables to jet boating on the Shotover River—but Segway on Q adds a fresh, easygoing dimension to the mix, perfect for families and riders of nearly all ages.
The 1hr Bay Ride with Segway on Q marries low-impact fun with fresh air and stunning scenery. After a concise training session tailored to novices, riders glide effortlessly along the water’s edge, navigating the pathways lined with vibrant flowerbeds and mature trees within the Queenstown Gardens. The smooth, self-balancing Segways allow riders to cover more ground than on foot, offering unobstructed views of the shimmering lake and snowcapped peaks beyond. It’s a practical way to see a significant lakeside stretch without the usual exertion, yet the novelty of piloting a Segway guarantees plenty of laughs and memorable moments.
What sets Segway on Q apart in Queenstown’s vibrant outdoor scene is its approachable vibe and unique vehicle, which appeals equally to visitors new to the area and locals looking for a relaxed tour. Whether you’re reconnecting with family or meeting friends, this short but captivating circuit through a celebrated urban green space adds a fun alternative to the region’s action-packed offerings.
