Adventure Brief

Learn to ride a Segway and glide through Devonport’s waterfront, Cheltenham Beach, and Victorian backstreets on this 90‑minute guided tour. Perfect for first‑timers, it combines instruction with classic views of Rangitoto and the Hauraki Gulf.

1.5 hours (90 minutes)
moderate
Family Friendly
No Experience Required

The first push of the throttle is gentle, like waking a small engine that already wants to go. A group gathers on the Devonport Ferry Terminal—ferry horns behind them, gulls cutting lines above—and within minutes an instructor has everyone standing upright on a Segway, helmet clipped, hands loose on the bars. The wharf slides back and the Hauraki Gulf opens: Rangitoto Island sits like a dark crown on the horizon, its volcanic slopes only 650 years old and still looking defiant against the sky.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Stable, flat footwear helps with mounting and negotiating short hills and curbs on the route.

essential

Bring a light waterproof

Tours run in most weather; a compact rain jacket keeps you comfortable when the Gulf wind shifts or a shower passes.
