Why take this tour?

What the Experience Feels Like

Your tour begins with relaxed training where your guide helps everyone get comfortable riding the Segway. Most guests feel unsure at first, but within a few minutes the motion becomes smooth and surprisingly intuitive.

Once the group is ready, the ride begins along scenic routes near the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, where large freighters, sailboats, and fishing vessels travel between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The Segway allows you to glide easily along the waterfront while taking in the activity of this historic maritime corridor.

As the tour continues, the route moves toward the downtown streets of Sturgeon Bay, where your guide shares a few stories about the city’s shipbuilding history and the role the canal has played in Door County’s maritime past.

Along the way there are natural pauses for photos of the canal, harbor views, and nearby waterfront areas. The pace remains relaxed so everyone can enjoy the ride and feel comfortable on the Segway.

By the end of the tour most guests are surprised by how natural the Segway feels—and many say exploring the canal and downtown area this way becomes one of the most memorable parts of their visit to Sturgeon Bay.
