Rottnest Island Fortress Adventure Segway Tour

113 Reviews

1 hour 30 minutes

Overview

This guided Segway tour is a more adventurous way to see parts of Rottnest Island beyond the usual main paths. Over 1.5 hours, you’ll roll through bays, beaches and historic defence sites while hearing about the island’s military past and its role in protecting Fremantle Harbour. It’s a good option if you want sightseeing with a bit more movement than a standard walking tour, and you’ll also get the chance to spot Rottnest’s famously friendly quokkas.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It packs a fair bit into a relatively short tour, so it works well if you’re on Rottnest for a day trip and want to cover more ground without hiring your own transport. The guided format keeps things easy, and the off-road Segway adds a bit of novelty compared with a standard bus or walking tour. At $139, it sits more in the experience category than the cheap-and-cheerful one, but you do get guide commentary, training and safety gear included.

What to expect

You’ll start with rider training, an assessment and safety gear before heading out with your guide. A personal radio system helps you hear commentary as you travel. The route includes Thomsons Bay, the Bickley Battery gun emplacements, Jubilee Hill Observation Post, Paterson Beach, Henrietta Rocks and Kingstown Barracks. Expect a mix of coastal scenery and military history, with stops to take in the views and look around along the way.
