This guided Segway tour gives you a different way to see the forest at Hollybank, near Launceston. Over 90 minutes, you’ll ride beneath tall trees and take in the landscape from ground level without doing a long hike. It’s a good option if you want something a bit active and outdoorsy, but still straightforward, with training, safety equipment, locker hire and a digital photo included.
Why backpackers love it
It’s an easy half-day activity if you want to get out of Launceston and do something a bit different without needing advanced fitness or bushwalking gear. The training makes it accessible for first-timers, and the included photo is a handy extra if you want proof you actually learned to ride a Segway in the Tasmanian forest. Just note that it’s more of a paid adventure activity than a cheap outing, and bookings are worth being sure about since cancellations are non-refundable.
You’ll start with Segway training and get fitted with safety gear before heading out into the forest. Once you’re comfortable riding, the tour takes you under the canopy of Hollybank’s towering trees, where you’ll explore the area on a guided route and learn more about the landscape around you. The experience runs for 90 minutes in total. Locker hire is included, and spectators can come along to the site for free. Keep in mind there’s a rider weight limit of 45 to 117kg, and the tour is not recommended for pregnant travellers or those with poor cardiovascular health.
