Segway tours represent another step toward the inevitable fusion of man, machine, and commentary track. Give in to technological destiny with today’s Groupon to Angel Island Company. Choose between the following options:

• For $60, you get a two-hour segway tour of Angel Island for two people (a $130 value).<p>

During the two-hour Angel Island segway tour, gliding docents guide groups of up to 10 sightseers to notable landmarks and vantage points across the historic island. Tours begin in March, when temperatures begin to climb, and continue through October, when territorial ghosts render the island uninhabitable. After checking in at a kiosk near the Cove Café, segway neophytes learn to handle the vehicles in a brisk on-site lesson. Explorers then embark on the scenic expedition, catching panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the bay, and the downtown skyline.

The island tour guides display equal proficiency for raconteurism as for segway piloting, regaling patrons with historic tales while executing improbable backflips. Sightseers can perch atop verdant slopes to look down on sandy shores or stare off past the oceanic expanses at the seagulls and sailboats that often drift about. Transportation to the island is not included with this Groupon, though tour takers can get their first taste of the misty bay air on a ferry to the island.
