Description

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.

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!
