Tourism Whitsundays Member Spotlight Whitsunday Segway Tours

For this weeks adventure, Jade and Paige explored one of the local Whitsunday land-based wonders by joining Whitsunday Segway Tours for an unforgettable tour.

Expertly guided safely and thoroughly by host, Zak, the mood transitioned quickly from slightly nervous too eager as they stepped on the Segway and adjusted to synchronize with the hi-tech machine. Jade said she was surprised at how quickly she became comfortably at ease with the Segway.

Once the journey began, the 9-kilometre round trip was an absolute feast for the senses. Gliding past towering trees, wildlife and crystal-clear streams, Jade described how she was amazed by how effortlessly the Segway allowed her to take in the vibrant surroundings. 

With an obvious passion and commitment to guide, Zac expertly lead Jade and Paige through the Whitsunday Great Walk, sharing fascinating insights about the local flora and fauna and enriching the ride with his local knowledge and stories.

The halfway moment was nestled amongst the stream at Impulse Creek. Right in the forest's heart, the creek's calm waters provided a perfect spot for a refreshing morning tea, and homemade baked goods replenished energy perfectly. Sitting by the water, Jade felt a sense of peace in the tranquillity and beauty of the local rainforest. 

Jade described how this tour is more than just a ride—it's a chance to connect with nature and learn about its wonders. She highly recommends it for an unforgettable land-based Whitsunday adventure.
