Hop on a Segway on Your Next Vacation

Other Touring Options

Another option is to rent a Segway PT for a whole day, or even the duration of your visit. Although this option is more expensive, it allows more flexibility and freedom. You can also tour at your own pace, and take a break whenever you need it.

According to Segway of Ontario owner Jason Rizzuti most dealers also rent Segway PTs. The best place to find a dealer is www.segway.com.

“We always provide training before tours and rentals,” says Jason, “but for our rentals we provide a few extra tips and a training video.” He also stresses that renters are responsible for knowing the laws and they must sign a liability release.

Many attractions, such as San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park, also offer Segway PT Tours. Their two-hour Rolling Safaris give visitors an up-close-and-personal glimpse at some very exotic wildlife, while they roll along the dirt paths and paved trails of the compound.

Last but not least, don’t rule out state parks and recreation areas. For example, Angel Island State Park offers an excellent Segway PT tour along the eight-mile perimeter trail that circles the island. Participants are allowed to stop along the way at historic sights and scenic overlooks. Not only is it a fun tour, but it also offers some spectacular views of San Francisco Bay.

So give a Segway PT tour a try on your next vacation. It’s the fun way to go green, save your energy and enjoy a city at the same time.
