Glide from a short training pad into the cool, primeval fingers of Tsitsikamma forest on a one-hour Segway loop through Storms River Village. Expect compact forest tracks, interpretive stops, and a route that brushes the trail to the famous Tsitsikamma Big Tree.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the training pad and the Segway hums like an animal waiting to move. After 15–20 minutes of hands-on instruction, the village thins behind you and the trail opens into cool pine avenues that give way to the denser indigenous Tsitsikamma forest. The air smells of resin and damp earth; distant surf and the river’s current keep time as you glide past ferns and ancient yellowwood.
