Vineyard Segway tours in SA

Segways. They'll never really be cool. Let's be honest, they don't exactly fit the same category as, say, a motorbike.  They don't come with leather jackets and you don't look a badass riding one, even with the trendiest of shades. They are, however, a marvel of modern technology and a fantastic way to explore everything South Australia has to offer.

In fact, they're so amazing, anyone can ride a segway.  The auto balancing technology shifts under your weight and is so precise that not only does stepping onto what is essentially a board between two wheels feel like stepping onto a solid platform, but it's how you control your speed.  Simply shift your weight forward and you'll zoom forwards.  Braking and reversing is as simple as shifting your weight backwards. Steering is controlled by a simple handlebar.  It takes five minutes to learn and after the first 20 minutes you'll be a seasoned veteran.

It's a unique and relatively exhilarating way to explore.  While they can't tackle intense off-road trails you'll be surprised the first time you go up a hill and it doesn't slow down at all.  They've got some serious grunt and a decent top speed, about the speed of a very fast jog or slow sprint. The segways of tour groups are usually speed limited to prevent people racing off so don’t expect to go racing, but you can reach a fair clip and tackle all sorts of terrain.

In South Australia there are some great segway tours and guided tours to check out.  With family and friends, these tours offer a great adventure that take you through some truly beautiful and iconic locations from the vibrant vineyards of the rolling Adelaide Hills. You’ll also get to go off road and explore some iconic local attractions and landmarks while taking in the natural beauty of of the foreshore and perhaps you will run into some of the friendly native wildlife.

There are a range of surfaces to tackle and locations to explore while taking in the majestic views that abound on these beautiful properties. You’re invited to explore, with winding farm tracks and trails these places are perfect for taking a segway for a spin.
