Glide past the Hotel del Coronado instead of walking to it

A 3-hour Segway tour through San Diego's downtown, waterfront and Coronado Island, starting in the Gaslamp Quarter with a 30-minute orientation and a guide narrating the route. You ride through downtown, along the Embarcadero with views of San Diego Bay, then take a ferry to Coronado to see Coronado Beach and the historic Hotel del Coronado before returning by water. The Segway covers ground a walking tour cannot, and the ferry ride is included.

The Experience

You meet in the Gaslamp Quarter, the 16-block historic heart of downtown San Diego filled with Victorian architecture, museums, restaurants and Petco Park. After a 30-minute safety briefing and orientation on the Segway, you're ready to ride. The guide leads you through downtown, then toward the Embarcadero, where the waterfront opens up and you get unobstructed views of San Diego Bay. The Segway does the work of covering distance, so you see more without the fatigue of walking.

At the Embarcadero dock, you board a ferry for the round-trip crossing to Coronado Island. The ferry itself is part of the tour—the crossing offers views of the city from the water, and shops and restaurants line the shoreline as you arrive. Once on Coronado, you ride past Coronado Beach, popular with surfers and sunbathers, with its silvery sand and backdrop of historic homes. The Hotel del Coronado, a 130-year-old National Historic Landmark with distinctive red Victorian architecture, is the centerpiece stop. After exploring Coronado by Segway, you return to downtown by ferry.

The tour operates rain or shine. Bottled water and small snacks are provided. You'll need a decent level of fitness and the ability to climb stairs without assistance; the minimum age is 10, and riders under 16 must have a parent present. The weight limit is 250 lbs. A guide narrates throughout in English or Spanish, depending on which tour time you choose.

Is this one for you?If you speak Spanish or prefer a Spanish-language guide, book the afternoon departure, which is narrated in Spanish; the morning tour is in English. Either way, the guide narration means you don't need to research the stops beforehand—the history and context come as you ride.
