The Experience

You start on your own Segway in Airlie Beach and ride along the Whitsunday Bicentennial Boardwalk, which has three separate sections you'll cover across the full route. The guide points out local landmarks—Pioneer Bay, Abell Point Marina, the calm beach inside Conway Circuit—and you stop to walk around the ones worth stepping off for. The ride itself is easier than walking and covers 7 kilometers over the three hours, so you're moving steadily but not rushing. On the return trip back toward Airlie Beach, you glide along the boardwalk with the breeze, and the pace lets you actually see what you're passing instead of being locked in a coach window.

The tour ends at Sorrento Restaurant at Coral Sea Marina, where you stop to eat. Dinner is included—you choose between pizza or pasta—and you eat while watching the sun set over the Whitsundays. If you'd rather skip dinner and head straight back to Airlie Beach, you can do that instead. The restaurant sits right on the water, so the timing of the tour is built around catching the light at the right moment.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't arrange transport to the starting point. You get a helmet, all the Segway equipment, and a professional guide who speaks English and knows the area well enough to share local tips. Photos are shared via social media afterward. The tour runs in all weather, so bring a jacket if the forecast looks uncertain.

Is this one for you?Small groups work well here since you're riding your own Segway rather than sitting together on a coach, and the pace is steady enough for anyone with moderate fitness who wants to cover ground without walking. The sunset dinner stop makes this a good choice if you want the ride to end with a meal and a view rather than just dropping back at your hotel.

Top questions

What is the Bicentennial Boardwalk like to ride on a Segway?

The Bicentennial Boardwalk has three separate sections that you cover across the full 3-hour tour, running 7 kilometers total from Airlie Beach to Cannonvale. It's a paved waterfront path, and the ride is easier than walking because the Segway does the work—you're gliding along rather than on foot, so you can actually look around instead of focusing on the ground.

Do I need Segway experience to join this tour?

No experience is required. Your guide teaches you how to ride before you start, and the tour is designed for people trying a Segway for the first time. You do need to be at least 12 years old, weigh between 45 and 117 kilograms, have full vision, and be able to stand unaided on the Segway.

What happens at Sorrento Restaurant?

Sorrento Restaurant sits at Coral Sea Marina, and your tour arrives there as the sun is setting. Dinner is included—you choose between pizza or pasta—and you eat while watching the sunset over the Whitsundays. If you prefer not to stay for dinner, you can ride back to Airlie Beach instead.

Is hotel pickup really included?

Yes. The tour includes pickup from your hotel in Airlie Beach and drop-off afterward, so you don't need to arrange your own transport to the starting point.

What should I bring or wear?

The tour runs in all weather, so dress for the conditions—bring a light jacket if rain is forecast. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. A helmet is provided, and all Segway equipment is included. If you have specific dietary requirements for dinner, let the operator know when you book.
