An Easter Adventure Like No Other: Glide Through Cann Woods on a Segway Safari This Holiday!

by Paul Shepherd

Spring has finally sprung, and what better way to celebrate the Easter holidays than by escaping into nature, feeling the fresh woodland air on your face, and experiencing the thrill of gliding through a forest on two wheels? At Cann Woods Segway in Plymouth, we’re bringing you the ultimate Easter adventure that’s perfect for families, friends, couples, and anyone looking for something different this holiday season.

Forget chocolate eggs and stuffy indoor activities—this Easter, it's time to make memories that actually move.

Why Easter Is the Perfect Time for an Outdoor Adventure

The Easter break falls just as nature bursts into life. Trees are budding, flowers are blooming, and the days are finally longer and lighter. The forest trails of Cann Woods, part of a 235-hectare Forestry England site just outside Plymouth, are the ideal setting for a proper outdoor experience.

Instead of another crowded theme park or indoor play area, you’ll be surrounded by ancient woodland, chirping birds, and beautiful open forest tracks. You’ll hear laughter echoing through the trees—not because of screens or arcade machines, but because you’re sharing a real adventure together.

What Is a Segway Safari?

If you’ve never been on a Segway before, don’t worry! Our Segway Safaris are perfect for complete beginners and seasoned riders alike. You’ll start with expert one-on-one training, getting to grips with the easy controls. Within minutes, you’ll be confidently riding one of our genuine Segway X2 all-terrain machines, designed for gliding through mud, grass, gravel, and woodland trails.

Then the real fun begins.

Our Easter holiday tours take you deep into Cann Woods, where you’ll explore miles of trail, tackle off-road sections, and cruise under a canopy of spring leaves. You’ll feel the freedom of movement as you glide between trees and around bends, all with the safety and guidance of our experienced instructors.

We even have a dedicated Segway Skills Area on the longer tours, where you can try balancing challenges, slalom sections, and fun features like mud ruts and small ramps.

It’s not just a ride—it’s a forest adventure with wheels.

Perfect for Families: Ages 10 and Up Welcome!

One of the best things about Segway riding is how accessible it is. Our tours are suitable for ages 10 and up, making this an amazing family day out over the Easter holidays. Parents, teens, and even grandparents love the shared experience.

You don’t need to be super sporty or adventurous to take part. After your initial training, you’ll be gliding like a pro—and we always go at the pace that suits the group. That means nobody gets left behind, and everyone has a great time.

The Safari & Skills Tour – Our Most Popular Experience

Our Safari & Skills Tour is a 90-minute Segway experience designed to offer the best of everything:

  • A proper ride through the forest (not just a loop around a field)

  • Time to master your Segway and build confidence

  • Fun skill features to challenge and entertain you

  • Beautiful scenery, wildlife, and photo opportunities

You’ll ride along winding fire roads, dip into tree tunnels, and maybe even see a deer or fox darting through the underbrush. This tour gives you space to breathe and move while offering loads of fun twists and turns.

For even more excitement, check out our Extreme Tour—a 3-hour ride for the truly adventurous, available on select dates during the Easter holidays.

Make It a Day Out in Nature

Easter is one of the most magical times to be outdoors. Cann Woods is carpeted with wildflowers, the air smells fresh, and sunlight filters gently through the trees. After your Segway tour, why not bring a picnic or explore more of the walking trails in the woods?

There’s free parking, clean toilets, and plenty of space to unwind. It’s just 5 minutes off the A38, making it easy to get to whether you're coming from Plymouth, Exeter, or Cornwall.
