THE VIEW

South Pointe Pier & Waterfront Vistas

The tour reaches South Pointe Park and the pier in the south corner of South Beach, where the group dismounts to take in the beach views and photograph the shoreline.

THE ROUTE

Art Deco Streets and Ocean Drive

Riders cover more ground than a walking tour as they glide through the South Beach historical Art Deco District and along the famous Ocean Drive while the guide points out notable buildings and shares local history.

THE RIDE

Segway i2 PTs and On‑the‑Job Training

Each tour begins with a brief practice session on Segway i2 PTs at the shop so participants can get comfortable before setting off with a guide.

What the day feels like

What the 45 Minutes Feel Like

You meet at the shop, learn the basics during a short Segway practice, then set off with a guide to cover the south end of South Beach. The pace lets you move farther than a walking tour while remaining outside; the guide provides historical commentary as you pass Art Deco facades, you visit the park and pier to dismount and photograph the beach, glide past Ocean Drive, pause for a photo at Casa Casuarina (the Versace Mansion), and return to the starting point.
