Safety
Whitsunday Segway Tours takes guest safety and wellbeing seriously. Segways are easy to ride as long as riders take care and pay attention to the visual, verbal and written instructions, which keeps the tour safe and enjoyable for the rider, other Segway riders and the public.
Minimum age limit: By law, all guests taking part in the Segway tour must be 12 years old or over. Riders under 18 should be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Mature aged guests: Guests over the age of 55 should be mindful that riding a Segway is a soft adventure activity. The risk of injury from a fall can increase with age and decreased agility.
Health and fitness: A Segway is an incredible engineering feat, however effort and input are still required, and it should not be viewed as a simple mobility assistance device. All riders should be in good physical health, able to stand unaided for extended periods, and have good sight and hearing in a range of conditions. Riders must not have any health condition that could be made worse by a fall.
Pregnancy: Pregnant guests cannot take part in the guided Segway tours, because of the risk of injury to mother and unborn child.
Drugs and other substances: All riders must be free of drugs, alcohol or any substance that may impair their judgement or physical movement.
Waiver forms: Participants are required to read, acknowledge and sign the liability and indemnity forms before joining the guided Segway tour. Riders aged 12 to 17 need a parent or guardian consent form. The forms are available from the operator, including in other languages on request.
