Your certified guide will lead you through our botanical gardens where you can experience the taste of spices and a variety of organic fruits, listen to the soothing trade winds and then off to places deep into the rainforest you wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to experience, unless you are a true hiker. On a Segway, these trails become rites of passage, that makes this a once in a lifetime opportunity for a fun and tropical adventure in a way you call your own.

“Great tour; one of the best we had while on the Big Island!”

We went on the Hanapueo Tour it was labeled as "challenging" on their website, but we found it to be well within our ability. The tour guides start you off on a practice course where you are able to practice your turns and starting and stopping. Riding a Segway takes a little bit of getting used to but after just... More

Aloha and Mahalo for the kinds words. Our staff is great and we really look forward to your return. Segways are easy for almost everyone, however we learn in the training area what the skill level and comfort zone of all the riders on a tour will be. You are right about the off roading as we have certain limitation... More

“We almost died!”

Reviewed January 16, 2012

This was by far the worst experience I have ever had in Hawaii and I am an annual vistor. My husband and I are in our 60s and this was an awful experience for us. There was inadequate training which lead to both my husband and myself being thrown off our segways. The tour operator assured us that this was... More

“Tons of fun (offroad segway and zip), even in the rain”

We took the Hanapueo tour with the offroad segways. It was loads of fun even in a torrential downpour but I think you can expect some rain there any time--they have ponchos. The rainforest was beautiful and the tour was interesting and really laid back, although a bit more unstructured than the other city segway tour I've done. The tour... More

“Great Segway Tour- Heavy duty segways- good training course to start!”

This was our second segway tour in Hawaii. The first one was just an intro, pretty tame in Honolulu. The second one was at the Botanical Gardens. They did a great job of getting us familiar and comfortable with the Segways on a course with some cones before we even started. The guides were extremely knowledgable about the plants and... More

“SEGWAY THROUGH A RAINFOREST!! AMAZING - BEAUTIFUL AND FUN!”

Reviewed November 12, 2011

The zip line was great fun, a "must-do" for families. We did the 'combo-tour' zip line and Segway - a new adventure on the Big Island of Hawaii. We had so much fun. The guides for the zip line were wonderful - very safe, informative and funny! The Segway tour REALLY surprised us. It was an extremely unique experience. I... More

It is great to see you had the experience we were going for. The guides are great and the place we are fortunate enough to glide is amazing - the Segway just ads to that experience by allowing you to get to so much of the beauty the Botanical gardens and our surrounding area provides. Mahalo for your visit and... More

We had a wonderful afternoon touring the Gardens on the Segways. Jennille and Dalton were our guides and did a marvelous job teaching us to ride. They were very knowledgeable about all the wonderful plants and trees and customs of Hawaii. We would highly recommend this adventure! More
