Segway Tour

Segway tours are one of those things that sound a little gimmicky until you're actually on one, gliding through maritime forest at 12 mph with zero effort. Hilton Head Segway runs guided tours through some of the island's most scenic areas — including Honey Horn Plantation, the Mitchelville Freedom Park (the first self-governed freedmen's community in the US), and the central trails.

The guides are local historians and naturalists who weave the island's ecology and history into the tour as you go. You'll cover ground that would take an hour on foot in a fraction of the time, and the Segway's height gives you a slightly elevated perspective that makes the scenery feel different than walking or biking.

No experience required — most people are comfortable on the Segway within 5 minutes of the orientation. Tours run 60–90 minutes and are available for most ages and fitness levels. A genuinely fun way to see parts of the island that most visitors miss.
