Nature Adventure from Jekyll Island Fun Tours
The eco-friendly Fun Tour on the Segway®  PT allows you to glide along the trails and personally witness this truly unique area. Our educated guide will point out the plant and animal lifeas you stop to observe the sights.

Riding the Segway® PT feels like nothing you've ever experienced because there's never been anything like it. Step on and your instinct will be to steady yourself, as you would on anything with two wheels. But almost immediately you'll realize that the Segway PT is balancing for you, almost like it has become an extension of you. Just lean forward a little and you'll see that the Segway PT isn't moving you on its own; it's moving in response to you and what you tell it to do. It all feels natural and really cool.
