Exploring the Details of the Segway Tour

Location and Itinerary Overview

This tour takes place in the beautiful Canary Islands, Spain, primarily around Playa de Jandía — a stretch of pristine beach known for its vast sands and striking coastline. Starting with a short safety briefing and Segway training, we’re then led by friendly guides through the area’s most photogenic spots, including the famous lighthouse and Morro Jable cliffs.

The shorter route (1.5 hours) focuses on the beach and ocean vistas, providing ample opportunities for photos and enjoying the sea breeze. If you’re feeling adventurous, the 2-hour option extends your journey over the dunes and toward the Morro Jable Cliff, allowing you to experience the natural, untamed terrain of Jandía’s interior.

What to Expect During the Tour

Upon arrival, the guides give a brief but thorough lesson on how to operate the Segway, ensuring even beginners feel confident. Expect a few minutes of supervised practice, which builds confidence before heading out. This is useful, as riding a Segway over different terrain — sand, dirt, and paved areas — calls for a bit of balance and awareness.

Once underway, you’ll glide along coastal pathways with spectacular views of the ocean, often with the wind guiding you along. Stops at key points like the lighthouse give you time to take photos and listen to the guide’s commentary about local history and geography.

The longer tour adds a dune ride, which is perfect for those wanting a more off-road experience. The dunes provide a more rugged terrain that’s both fun and visually impressive, with sweeping views of the natural landscape.

Highlights of the Tour

• Stunning views of Playa de Jandía, a wide, sandy beach stretching as far as the eye can see.
• The lighthouse, a prominent landmark that has guided sailors for decades, is a perfect spot for photos and panoramic views.
• The Morro Jable Cliff, offering a dramatic overlook of the coastline and ocean below.
• Riding over varied terrain, including dunes and smooth paths, providing a mix of challenge and excitement.
• The short break mid-ride allows for rest, hydration, and learning about the area’s culture and history from your guide.
