End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.Itinerary
Get an introduction to New Zealand’s "adventure capital" on a 1- or 2-hour Segway tour of Queenstown.
After your guide demonstrates how to operate the Segway and outfits you with a helmet, take some time to practice steering and powering the easy controls. Once you’re comfortable, you’ll set off to explore Queenstown, following your guide in a small group toward Lake Wakatipu.
Stop at one or two scenic spots for photo ops and continue your 1-hour tour along the bay, or if you've selected a 2-hour tour, continue to cover more sights.
1-hour tour: Enjoy a basic overview of Queenstown and its stunning surroundings with a spin around Queenstown Bay, an inlet on Lake Wakatipu. Take in outstanding views of the Remarkables, Cecil Peak, and Walter Peak looming just above the resort town as you ride from Earnslaw Park past St. Omer Park, Marine Parade, and the Queenstown Gardens.
2-hour tour: Put your skills to the test with another hour of fun on your eco-friendly Segway. Enjoy commentary from your guide as you cruise along the shoreline of Lake Wakatipu before you venture out of Queenstown. You’ll glide up a hill or two—certainly more fun on a Segway than on foot—and ride through Queenstown Gardens to see botanical exhibits on display.

Great to see that you had so much fun. Thanks for your review Adrian!
It was the best fun. Great tour of town and gardens. Guide was a fabulous teacher and knew when we were ready for the next challenge, but let us decide. Definitely trying to fit a longer one in before we head home. If you are here when it’s cold suggest gloves. Thoroughly enjoyable time.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Thanks very much for your review Claire and for booking again for tomorrow for the 2 hour tour which will be twice the fun :) See you then for more good times.
Great fun. Our host Kevin was very friendly and highly experienced. Taught us how to manoeuvre the segways and after a little test, off we went through the Gardens, along the boardwalk past heaps of restaurants and sights along the lake, and then back again. Loved it!

Kevin was a great guide. He got us comfortable with the Segways and then had good knowledge and fun facts about Queenstown and surrounding area. We were only our family on the tour, and that worked out perfect for us.

Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your review Linda! Great to see that you loved the tour.
Such a fun way to see Queenstown. We are 60 and have no problem using the segways. It’s was a fun morning. It was just a shame we didn’t have more time to do a longer Segway tour. The one hour tour was great. Kevin speaks Chinese and English. We were very impressed and everyone in the group had a really fun morning.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks for your review Tracey! Great to hear that you had a fun morning and I hope to catch you for the 2hr tour another time.
Our guide was also the owner of Segway on Q. He was friendly and told us the background stories of our stops. He always looked out for the group and made sure everyone was safe. Felt confident after our training pre-ride. Segway was so fun and the tour was a great time. Would reco for anyone in Queenstown!
Response from Host, Apr 2026

Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thanks for the review Sarah! Awesome to see that you had a fantastic time.
Kevin, our guide made our Segway Queenstown tour feel so effortless and genuinely enjoyable. From the very beginning, he was kind, patient, and explained everything so clearly that we felt completely at ease.
We also had some time to practice first, which really helped build confidence. The Segway itself was surprisingly very stable, so even as beginners we felt safe and comfortable.
It was such a beautiful way to explore Queenstown and cover so much without feeling rushed, including the stunning Queenstown Gardens. Kevin made sure we felt comfortable throughout and took us through some really lovely spots.
Truly a memorable experience, and we’re so grateful to Kevin for making it so special by taking photos along the way :)
Response from Host, Mar 2026
It's truly wonderful to read that you had a genuinely enjoyable and memorable experience. Thanks!
A Segway tour, especially when you first get to a new location, is a great way to get the lay of the land, see a large part of the city, learn interesting facts and have a fun time doing it. Kevin checked all these boxes! He spent the right amount of time getting everyone comfortable on the Segway in a quiet location before taking us off on our ride. He stressed safety throughout and even those who have never been on a Segway before truly enjoyed the ride. I highly recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Wonderful to hear that I checked all the boxes for you. It was great to have you on the tour. Thanks!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thanks very much Susan! Great to read that I provided the perfect start to your holiday and some WOW factor.
Great experience. Very well delivered training session on the segway before we headed out in to queenstown. Trainer was accommodating of our requests and great way to see the shoreline of Queenstown! Next time ill opt for 2 hours!
Kevin is a fabulous knowledgeable guide, sharing lots of interesting and fun facts about Queenstown. He was super friendly and helpful with our 2 teenage sons. Segway is a brilliant way to get a sense of the place, it is so much fun - we all had an awesome time.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Wonderful to read that you guys had an awesome time and that you found my information interesting. Thank you for taking the time to write a review!
After a quick introduction and practice, we were on our way to explore Queenstown and trails. Kevin was a patient teacher and great guide. It was fun learning something new and then zipping along the walkways and trails. Every so often, Kevin shared an interesting or entertaining historical information. I enjoyed the varied terrain (sidewalk, dirt trails and grass). Trust the segway and lean forward!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Really good to hear that your family had a fun experience. Thanks Leslie!
You need to be confident to ride it. I did that for the first time and I will definitely do it again once I m back to Queenstown. Amazing experience.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thanks Abida! I'm glad that my training provided an amazing experience that you wish to repeat. See you next time.
Great way to cover more ground in Queenstown. Kevin was very knowledgeable about Queenstown history and took us to places we otherwise would have missed. Highly recommend.
