Description

Explore Door County’s working waterfront from a completely different perspective on this fun Segway ride through Sturgeon Bay. After getting comfortable on your Segway, you’ll glide along the waterfront, through downtown streets, and across areas shaped by Sturgeon Bay’s long connection to ships and the Great Lakes. This is a great route for riding — with a mix of open stretches, bridges, neighborhoods, and plenty to see along the way. You’ll get views of the harbor, the historic Steel Bridge, shipyards, marinas, and the working waterfront that give Sturgeon Bay its distinctive character. Your guide will share stories about the canal, local history, and the ships that have made this city such an important part of Door County. It’s an energetic mix of Segway riding, waterfront scenery, and local history — and a fun way to see much more of Sturgeon Bay than you probably would on foot.

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.

Washington Island Adventure Segway Tour (Half-Day)

Make a day of it with one of our biggest Door County Segway adventures — a half-day journey across Washington Island. Your adventure begins on the mainland, where we’ll get everyone comfortable on the Segways before boarding the ferry together. Then the Segways come right along with us as we cross Death’s Door and head to Washington Island. Once we arrive, the fun really begins. You’ll glide for miles along quiet island roads, through open farmland and wooded stretches, with stops at some of Washington Island’s most memorable places. Depending on the day and season, the route may include the Stavkirke, lavender fields, historic sites, shoreline views, and other island landmarks. Washington Island is especially fun to explore by Segway because you can cover far more ground than you could on foot while still being out in the open and connected to everything around you. There are long stretches where you can simply settle in, enjoy the ride, and take in the scenery. We’ll stop for lunch along the way, share stories about island life and history, and continue exploring before eventually riding back to the ferry for the trip to the mainland. This isn’t just a tour with a few stops — it’s a real Washington Island outing. Ferry ride, lunch, beautiful scenery, fascinating places, and plenty of Segway riding are all part of the adventure.
