It's not just all hotels, dining and shopping that are coming into the 21st century on Oahu. Just a year old Segway Tours of Hawaii is offering five fantastic tours from the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.

Here's your chance to experience the invention that has made headlines around the world since it's unveiling in December of 2001. The Segway® Personal Transporter (PT) is the world's first self-balancing transportation device which allows the rider to travel up to 13 miles-per-hour on city sidewalks, dirt and hard sand paths and even grass.

Each guest receives personalized training by expert Segway guides where instructions are really a breeze as you learn to effortlessly glide on your very own Segway Personal Transporter (PT). It's not only fairly easy to learn to operate but a lot of fun and you'll immediately think of many ways that that the PT could make your own life easier whether by breezing past rush hour traffic right into your office's elevator or as a great way to see the sights of your own city without tiring yourself on hills and long walks.

My Waikiki Glide Ride Segway Tour took me past the Ilikai and Prince Hotels, along the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor, across the Ala Wai Canal to Ala Moana Beach Park and Magic Island. This is where the locals go to the beach and you have great views of Diamond Head, Waikiki, the park and the ocean.
