Due to their ability to balance and glide, segways are the preferred form of transportation for birds and children toting pails of water uphill. Roll smoothly with today's Groupon: for $28, you get a 90-minute segway tour from Segs by the Sea in Bradenton (a $62.83 value).

Eager eyes roam the hidden corners of Anna Maria Island on guided tours from Segs by the Sea. After selecting a segway based on matching the number of its wheels to the number of its rider's feet, tour guides lead a brief training session on the self-balancing bi-wheeled chariots. Helmeted gliders are then given a complimentary bottle of water and escorted through various pockets of the island, including Anna Maria Beach, Bayfront Park, and Holmes Beach. Along the way, riders keep their eyes peeled and peering on the beauty of the Gulf waters, the architectural grandeur of the island's vacation homes, and hilarious manatee haircuts.
