Ride a Segway through forest, dunes and black sand to the ocean

An all-terrain Segway ride through the forest of Étang-Salé that takes you from dense woodland down to black sand beaches, dunes and wild coastline. You stand on the Segway and the guide leads the route; the ride lasts three hours and ends with a drink at the shore as the sun sets. A local guide speaks English or French, and the minimum booking is two people.

The Experience

You arrive at the forest of Étang-Salé and step onto an all-terrain Segway -- a standing electric vehicle that responds to your weight shift, not a steering wheel. The guide shows you how to balance and accelerate, then leads you into the forest itself. You navigate between Lataniers, Chocas, Tamarind and Eucalyptus trees in a single file, moving at a pace that lets you take in the canopy without stopping to photograph it. The terrain changes as you ride: packed earth gives way to sand, and the trees thin out.

The route crosses black sand dunes and savannas, each landscape arriving without warning. You slalom through open ground, then descend toward the coast where wild beaches open up and a pond sits between you and the ocean. The ride ends at the shore, where the guide stops and you dismount to watch the sunset with a colored drink in hand. The whole outing takes three hours from start to finish.

The guide is a local who speaks English or French and stays with the group throughout. The minimum booking is two people, so you cannot book alone, but you can book with a friend or join a small group. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The ride is suitable for all fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns. Dress code is formal, so plan accordingly.

Is this one for you?You stand on the Segway the entire time and the guide leads the route, so this suits someone who wants to ride an electric vehicle through a landscape rather than walk or hike it. Book this if you have a free afternoon and want to cover ground without pedaling or navigating yourself.
