Alto and Mallory were terrific on the trek. Beautiful, entertaining, historical on a really cool Segway!!!! Loved it
Thank you for joining us! I am thrilled you loved it. The area is local, beautiful, and truly a blast to explore on the Segways. We hope to see you again soon!
Fun! Scenic! Informative! Carli, our guide was bubbly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Segways were smooth and so easy to ride. Saw too many bald eagles to count. Could spend all day !
I am thrilled that you had such a wonderful time! We would have you join us all day if we could! Riding Segways along the coastline of Douglas Island is both a unique adventure and an exciting way to explore the rainforest. Thank you for joining us!
We have always enjoyed Segway tours. What an amazing machine. Our cruise ship called in at Juneau and we booked the Segway forest tour. Overall, we really enjoyed it. Guides Alta and Phoenix were outstanding and wonderful hosts, being most welcoming and courteous. Alta was a great communicator. In a first for me on a Segway tour, each Segway had a radio attached to it so we could enjoy Alta's fascinating commentary throughout the tour. What worked well: excellent guiding and well maintained vehicles; the Segway travel was well supervised alongside a quite road on an island; we learned many interesting things during our walk into the forest thanks to great commentary. It was a great tour. What could be improved: if you are looking for an off-road adventure on a Segway, this trip is probably not for you. The Segways are driven more or less in a straight line along the side of a road. This didn't bother me as the scenery was outstanding and the walking tour into the forest was really enjoyable. Going in a straight line was sufficient to give me my Segway 'fix'.
Thank you for joining us on our tour and for taking the time to share your experience. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and are glad you enjoyed your time on the Coastal Segway Tour with our guides. We do offer two different Segway experiences designed for different interests. The Coastal Segway Tour along Douglas Island follows a scenic coastal route with beautiful views of the glacier and the surrounding Alaskan mountains, many of which you mentioned you loved during your visit. Our Alpine Segway Tour is a more adventure-focused experience set in the rainforest on a cross-country ski trail. This route is off-road and allows guests to ride directly through the forest environment, offering a very different perspective of Southeast Alaska’s wilderness. It’s designed for those looking for a more rugged and immersive Segway experience, while still being fully guided and supported throughout. Many guests are looking for different types of experiences, which is why we offer both Segway tours. Both options offer something unique, and we always encourage guests to choose based on the experience that best fits what they’re hoping to do. We’re very happy you enjoyed the Coastal tour, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future to experience the Alpine rainforest adventure as well!
Alta & Ali were awesome and very knowledgeable and friendly!
Thank you for joining us! Our guides love what they do and it shows in every tour!
Had an absolutely amazing time! RJ and Carli were absolutely amazing.
Thank you for joining us! Our guides love to spend time in our beautiful Alaska with all of you!
This was a lot of fun and our guides were great. Alli and Alta were very attentive and upbeat. I loved learning how to use a segway.
Thank you for joining us. I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour with our incredible guides. The Segways really are a blast, and with a little training from our team, guests of all experience levels can ride comfortably. It makes for such a unique and fun way to explore Alaska.
A Segway voyage along a road adjacent to the ocean and a forest. Lasted a couple hours. Phoenix is a great guide with tons of knowledge about the local flora and fauna. We also took a short hike through a dense, lush forest with a hiking trail. We photographed bald eagles, porcupines, woodpeckers, Jay's. and a great view of Mendenhall glacier. I highly recommend!
Thank you for joining us and for your wonderful recommendation. I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time with our guide and that you were able to see so much wildlife. The late afternoon and evening tours are truly special, the chances of spotting Alaska’s incredible wildlife are even higher, just as you experienced. It’s also the perfect time for smaller, more personal groups. We’re so glad you could share that adventure with us!
Tour guide guides, RJ Alli, and Phoenix were knowledgeable and entertaining
Thank you for riding with us! Our guides are great! They make every excursion great for small groups!
We signed up for the Segway tour. We were a group of 3, and none of us had prior experience riding a Segway and didn't have much expectation but it turned out to be a GREAT experience! Carli, Kyler and Alli were all fun to work with and we had a blast! It was definitely the highlight of our Alaska cruise. Thank you guys!

Our guides will be delighted to know they helped make the experience fun and memorable. Our guides are true experts at teaching guests how to ride a Segway with confidence, and safety is always our top priority here at iRide Alaska. It’s wonderful to hear that your experience with us turn your first Segway experience into the highlight of your Alaska cruise!
Had a great tour with Alta and Phoenix our guides for the afternoon. We were collected on time at the cruise terminal by Maddie and taken a short bus ride to Douglas Island. We were given time to get to grips with the seaway and felt very reassured by Chris who calmed some nerves! The scenery was beautiful and we found our guides to be really knowledgeable and informative. I would recommend this trip to couples, groups and families.
Thank you so much for recommending our tour! It’s wonderful to hear that you connected with so many members of our team. From our guides to our booking staff, everyone is dedicated to making sure guests feel safe, comfortable, and ready to have fun. We know riding a Segway for the first time can feel a little intimidating, but our team is fantastic at helping beginners gain confidence quickly. Like you, thousands of first‑time riders have joined us and ended up loving the experience. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us!
