About this experience
Sturgeon Bay's Growth through the Centuries
Experience the charm of Sturgeon Bay like never before on our "Canal Glide" Segway tour! Get ready to breathe in the fresh air & explore the city's most exciting highlights with Segway the Door Tours.
As we glide over the historic Steel Bridge, you'll feel the wind in your hair and the thrill of adventure coursing through our veins. We'll take you to Graham Park and the Downtown District, where you can soak up the vibrant energy of the shopping district and see it from a whole new perspective.
But that's not all. You'll learn fascinating nuggets of Sturgeon Bay's history and hear how it has evolved over the years.
As we make our way through the city, you'll notice how the canal splits Sturgeon Bay in half. Sawyer used to be on the west bank and Sturgeon Bay on the east, but now you can explore them both on our tour.
