Fort Lauderdale Segway Tour

Downtown on two wheels

⏱ 1 - 2.5 hours👤 All ages$$

Fort Lauderdale's downtown is compact but spread out enough that a first-time visitor can spend a lot of a short trip just getting between the Riverwalk, the arts district and the historic quarter. A Segway fixes that. After the opening lesson, which most people get the hang of within minutes, the group travels in a line at a walking-plus pace, stopping at points of interest for commentary on the city's founding, its canal-building boom and the waterfront that gave it the Venice of America nickname.

The route choice matters. The shorter tour keeps to the downtown core: Riverwalk, the performing arts center, the science museum, the Historical Society museum and the shaded streets in between. The longer option adds a run out toward the 17th Street Causeway drawbridge, where you can look over toward the cruise ships of Port Everglades, then circles back along the water. Groups are small, and tours run with a guide who keeps the pace comfortable and flags uneven pavement and crossings.

A few practical notes. There are no public restrooms at the meeting point, so use one beforehand. Wear closed shoes and fitted clothing, as baggy outfits and open-toed shoes are not allowed, and dress for the weather. The activity is described as suitable for all fitness levels, though it is not recommended if you take prescription drugs, so check the details when you book. Cancellations more than a day ahead receive a full refund. Pair it with a Water Taxi ride, a Las Olas lunch or a museum afternoon to turn a short downtown stay into a proper day.
