A cold wind off Lake Wakatipu lifts at your back as the guide explains balance and braking on a pair of quiet, two-wheeled machines. You glide away from the One Mile Powerhouse car park onto the lakeside esplanade, Segways humming as the water dares you to stare into its depth. The Gardens’ manicured lawns and curious conifers slide past; overhead, the Remarkables watch the shoreline change light.

A cold wind off Lake Wakatipu lifts at your back as the guide explains balance and braking on a pair of quiet, two-wheeled machines. You glide away from the One Mile Powerhouse car park onto the lakeside esplanade, Segways humming as the water dares you to stare into its depth. The Gardens’ manicured lawns and curious conifers slide past; overhead, the Remarkables watch the shoreline change light.
Queenstown grew rapidly after gold rushes in the 1860s and later reinvented itself as New Zealand’s adventure capital. The lake sits in an ancient glacial trough—steep, raw rock walls give the water its deep blue and the wind its authority. Local Māori history and European settlement overlap here; the town’s modern café culture is built on both hospitality and a love of the outdoors.
On a 1- or 2-hour tour you’ll pass lakeside viewpoints, Queenstown Gardens, and quieter peninsulas that most visitors miss. The 2-hour option reaches further from town, offering broader lake views and short off-Segway moments to stretch or try a novelty activity.
Practical guide: arrive 15 minutes early at the Ben Lomond trailhead/One Mile Powerhouse car park for a quick safety lesson. Tours suit ages 10+ and weight limits apply, so check before booking. Dress in windproof layers and flat, closed shoes; expect variable weather year-round. Guides run small groups (max eight), adjust pace for beginners, and cancel in sustained heavy rain. For a compact, low-effort way to cover scenic ground, the Segway tour is a fast, friendly introduction to Queenstown’s shoreline.
Meet at the One Mile Powerhouse car park near 130 Lake Esplanade (Ben Lomond Track trailhead); guides wait five minutes before departure.
Minimum recommended age is 10 years, minimum weight 35 kg (77 lbs), and maximum weight 120 kg (265 lbs); check operator policy when booking.
Tours operate in most weather but may be cancelled for heavy or continuous rain; call the number on your voucher an hour before departure if conditions look poor.
No—brief training is provided and guides tailor pace to participants; basic balance and mobility are sufficient.
