Nassau: Segway Tour Fort Charlotte, Arawak Cay & Beach Ride

Summary

Segway adventure through Nassau’s history, beaches, and flavors

You’ll ride a Segway along Nassau’s beaches, explore inside Fort Charlotte with a local guide who brings pirate tales to life, then roll into Arawak Cay for fresh conch fritters and Switcha. Expect laughter (maybe some wobbles), sea breezes, and real Bahamian flavor—plus all food and drinks are included so you can just enjoy every minute.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about getting on a Segway in Nassau—I’m not exactly known for my balance. But our guide, Dwayne, just grinned and said, “You’ll get it in two minutes.” He was right. The first few wobbly turns around the parking lot had me laughing at myself (and maybe clutching the handlebars tighter than necessary), but after that, it felt like flying—well, sort of.

We rolled up to Fort Charlotte with the sun already warming the stone walls. There was this salty tang in the air and a kind of hush inside the old fort that made you want to whisper. Dwayne told stories about pirates and battles—he had this way of making history feel like gossip you weren’t supposed to overhear. Walking through the dry moat and looking out over Nassau Harbor, I caught myself thinking how weird it is that people fought over places that now just feel peaceful.

The best part? Gliding along Long Wharf Beach with those impossible blue waters right there. We stopped for photos (obviously), but honestly I just wanted to stand there smelling seaweed and sunscreen for a while. Then we zipped over to Arawak Cay—the Fish Fry area—which is basically a riot of color and music and frying oil smells. I tried conch fritters for the first time (hot, chewy, somehow perfect) and washed them down with Switcha. I probably got sauce on my shirt but nobody seemed to care.

I still think about that moment at Arawak Cay—a bunch of us crammed into this bright little spot eating fish fingers and wings, everyone sweaty and smiling like we’d known each other longer than an hour or two. If you’re even slightly curious about a Segway tour in Nassau, just go for it. The city looks different when you’re gliding by instead of rushing through.
