Details to review before reserving

What to Bring

Bring a phone or camera for photos, wear comfortable shoes, and bring a helmet if you prefer — helmets are provided free of charge if you don’t have one. Dress a bit warmer than you would for walking; the Segway generates cooling wind.

Comfort & Clothing

Because you’ll be standing on the Segway and exposed to moving air, layer up and choose footwear that’s stable for mounting and dismounting; the operator supplies helmets and recommends slightly warmer clothing.

Booking Notice

Review cancellation policies before reserving.
