Select participants and date
You roll off the dock behind the Hard Rock Café into a short cone course, Segway humming beneath you, while the Station Square fountain glints and the incline creaks in the distance. For two hours the city opens on a low, confident pitch—brick facades, glass towers, rivers that cross each other like braided ropes—and the guide's voice layers history over motion: where forts met river traffic, where steel once fueled a skyline.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early to train
Check in 20 minutes before departure for a mandatory training session on the cone course so you’re comfortable before the route begins.
Wear closed-toe, flat shoes
Flat-soled shoes with an ankle strap or secure fit improve control and are required for safety.
Bring a charged phone and light jacket
Phones are useful for photos and navigation; river breezes can make temperatures feel cooler, especially late afternoon.
Confirm contact details when booking
Reservations require a phone number and email to be confirmed—without them your spot may not be held.
