Segway Tour to Mt Victoria Summit, Devonport Auckland

Glide to the summit and see Auckland spread across the Hauraki Gulf

A guided Segway tour in Devonport that starts with one-to-one instruction, then climbs to Mt Victoria's summit (the highest volcanic cone on Auckland's North Shore), where your guide points out the city, the gulf and the mountain's history. Groups stay under six riders, and you choose from multiple morning or afternoon slots depending on the season.

Step-by-step itinerary

Segway tour to Mt Victoria summit

• Learn to ride Segway
• Explore Devonport seaside village
• Segway to Mt Victoria summit
• Enjoy 360-degree views and history

The experience

You begin with hands-on training before the ride even starts. Your guide spends time teaching you to balance and steer the Segway, and you get to practice until you're comfortable. Then the route winds through the back streets of Devonport's historic village, past restored Victorian villas, along beaches and through parks on the way up to Mt Victoria. The guide narrates as you go: stories about the mountain, the iconic mushroom-shaped rock formations, and the neighbourhood itself.

The payoff is the summit. From the top of Mt Victoria, you get 360-degree views: Auckland City spreads out in one direction, the Hauraki Gulf in another. Your guide points out landmarks and tells you about the location's history. The whole experience runs about two hours, and because groups max out at six people, your guide can answer questions and adjust the pace to match the group.

Devonport itself is a small seaside village with open spaces and a quiet atmosphere: the operator notes it's one of the best locations anywhere for a Segway tour. You'll ride through it as part of the route, so you're seeing the place while you're learning to ride. The tour operates year-round. In summer you can pick from three time slots, and in winter there are two.

Is this one for you?The small group size and built-in instruction mean you're not thrown onto a Segway with strangers and expected to figure it out: your guide teaches you first and stays with the same six people the whole way, so the pace and the attention match what you need to enjoy the ride and the views.

Mt Victoria is the highest volcanic cone on Auckland's North Shore. Your guide takes you to the summit by Segway, where you stand at the top and see 360-degree views of Auckland City and the Hauraki Gulf, plus learn the mountain's history and geology from someone who knows it.

No. Your guide teaches you one-to-one before the tour starts, and you have time to practice until you feel steady. Groups stay small, maximum six people, so the guide can work at your pace.

In summer you can choose from three scheduled times. In winter there are two. You pick the morning, afternoon or lunchtime slot that fits your day when you book.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The tour operates in all weather, so dress appropriately for rain or wind. If conditions become extreme and unsafe for riding, you'll be offered an alternative date or a refund minus an administration fee.
