Product Info

Meet your instructor at our office in the Devonport Ferry Terminal which we share with the Devonport Ferry staff. It's at the end of the terminal where the ferries come and go. Sign in, store any bags you want to leave behind and have a helmet fitted before some training which will have you confident to start the tour.

Then we'll ride around the Devonport waterfront to admire the Victorian villas, lava flows, the local yacht club and inner-city beaches on the way to exploring the fort of the 1800s on the North Head Reserve. Have your guide take some photos with North Head as the backdrop to create great memories. Then glide to the summit of this volcanic cone where the panoramic views of Auckland City and Hauraki Gulf are arguably the best in town. We'll take a walk through the labyrinth of tunnels to see the disappearing gun, and learn about the secret communication pipes.

Next thing is a ride through the back streets of the village to a park by one of our best beaches and views of Rangitoto Island, Auckland's youngest volcanic cone.
There you can have some free time to put the Segway through its paces in the park before another ride through the village past more parks and reserves as you learn more history of the area.

A final hill climb on your Segway with a sneaky peek of the city returns you back to the office and completes your tour.
