Segway Tour Angel Island

06.30.2016

Admit it, you’ve always wanted to try a Segway. And one of the most beautiful places to take a spin? Angel Island State Park! Smack in the middle of San Francisco Bay, Angel Island has nonstop views and no cars or crowds (yeah, that’s important!). And right now you can take the Angel Island Segway tour at 20% off with Promo Code Sherpa16. Riding a Segway is super easy to learn and totally intuitive—your guide will gear you up and get you comfortable in no time! So grab your best pals for pure coastal cruising as you loop around the island’s 6-mile paved perimeter. Angel Island is a premier place for outstanding views of Tiburon, Alcatraz, the San Francisco skyline, and a bridge trifecta: the Golden Gate, the Bay Bridge, and the San Rafael Bridge. See the beach where remnants of a raft from a 1962 Alcatraz prison break washed ashore, and pass Camp Reynolds, the largest collection of Civil War–era buildings in the country. Roll by one of the bay’s best-kept secret beaches, and take in the knockout panoramic viewpoint above Battery Ledyard.

BONUS: Use Promo Code Sherpa16 to save 20% on a Segway tour.
