Tour Cultural & Natural Highlights on Washington Island
Experience the beauty of Washington Island in a whole new way with our Segway tour! We’ll start our adventure by training on the mainland, then bring the Segways onto the ferry to make our way to the island.

⭐ “Worth every penny! We glided past lavender fields, historic farms, and coastal views.” – Don H., WI (TripAdvisor)

⭐ “Best way to explore Washington Island! We saw places we’d never have found by car.” – Cindi B., WI (TripAdvisor)

Your ticket price includes a roundtrip ferry ride to and from Washington Island, your choice of a box lunch (or a restaurant lunch depending on the season), a Segway lesson, and a glide around the island. It’s the perfect way to see the island for the first time or to rediscover it in a whole new way on this half-day guided tour.

Once we arrive, we’ll take you on a guided tour of the island’s cultural and natural highlights. You’ll have the chance to visit fascinating sites like the Lavender Farm, Stavkirke Church, Jacobsen Museum, Farm Museum, Mountain Park Lookout Tower, Historic Island Dairy, and Nelson’s Hall, all from the comfort and excitement of your Segway.

Washington Island is a truly unique place, with its rural landscape and eclectic destinations. Our guided tour will take you across the length of the island, where you’ll take in the beauty of canopied roads and stunning shorelines. And don’t worry about feeling tired – we’ve planned plenty of stops along the way so you can enjoy the sites without getting worn out.

Don’t miss out on this unforgettable experience! Book your tour today and get ready to see Washington Island like never before.

The only half-day Segway tour on an island in the world!

Itinerary

Expand all

Make a reservation ahead of time. We meet near the Washington Island Ferry dock in Northport and train in the parking lot before riding the Segway right onto the ferry (included in the price). You will enjoy the ferry ride to the island and the tour guide will take your lunch order. At some point on the glide, the guide may give you a choice between attractions to visit. About five hours later, you will return to your car.

The Segway PT trainer trains each participant one at a time on the Segway PT.

After being trained, it is best to practice your stops and turns in order to learn to trust the Segway (TRUST is the key). So far, this has taken about 2 – 25 minutes depending on the size of the group (there is always at least a 1:9 ratio between guides and FUN SEEKERS)

We take the ferry to the island then head out on the Segway PT into historic, serene, and beautiful places on Washington Island.
