Description

This guided half-day Segway tour is designed for guests who want a more immersive way to experience Washington Island. Rather than focusing on a single area, the route spans multiple parts of the island, allowing time to explore its landscapes, landmarks, and quieter roads at a relaxed, steady pace. The experience begins on the mainland in Northport, where training and orientation take place before boarding the ferry together. Once on the island, the tour unfolds gradually, with regular stops and natural breaks built in so the day feels unhurried and well-balanced.

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 quiet island roads and scenic routes across Washington Island. With fewer cars and wide open surroundings, the Segway provides a peaceful way to explore the landscape while still covering more ground than walking.

As the tour continues, the route passes through a mix of wooded areas, open farmland, and shoreline views that give Washington Island its unique character. Along the way your guide shares a few stories about the island’s history, the local community, and some of the places that make Washington Island different from the rest of Door County.

Because this is a longer half-day adventure, the pace remains relaxed with several opportunities to pause for photos and enjoy the scenery before continuing deeper into the island.

By the end of the tour most guests are surprised by how natural the Segway feels — and many say exploring Washington Island this way becomes one of the most memorable experiences of their visit.

We have gone on quite a few Segway tours. This one by far, the 1/2 day Washington Island tour, was the best. We met another great couple and Brian, our tour guide, was great! We are definitely coming back for more!
