Wilderness Back Trail Adventure Segway Tour

Looking for something different to do at Walt Disney World?  Why not try one of the most unique experiences the World has to offer: the Wilderness Back Trail Adventure Segway Tour.  This 2-hour tour takes you through the many trails of the Fort Wilderness Campground and then off-roading around Bay Lake. 

Segway Tour Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground Walt Disney World ResortThe tour starts with a brief video overview of how to use the Segways and all of the safety precautions you must take during the ride.  You’re then taken out to a small practice course to get used to riding the Segway X2, which is the off-roading version with larger tiresYou go through a series of cone courses and then up and down a small hill to get familiar with the terrain you will be encountering.  I must say the sensation is a little strange at first, but if you trust in your Segway, you will be fine in the end.

After practice, you’re off!  You are given audio earpieces so you can hear your guides along the way.  As you travel around the campground, the guides point out many fun features and also test your trivia knowledge.  You make a few stops along the way, one of which is at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch to meet some of the horses that work in the Magic Kingdom.  You also take a trip around towards the back of Bay Lake, which allows for some very unique pictures of the Contemporary Resort and Space Mountain.

This is a wonderful tour and a unique experience you can only get at Walt Disney World.  I highly recommend taking a trip over to the Fort Wilderness Campground to go for a spin on a Segway!

    How do you go about booking this Ft Wilderness Segway Tour. Do you have to go to Ft Wilderness can you call Disney Direct? Thank You!

  • Sarah

    Paul, you can just call 407-WDW-PLAY to make a reservation. Make sure you leave enough time to get to Fort Wilderness on that morning. It can take a while to navigate around the resort.
    Hope you have fun and let us know how you find the tour!
