About this tour
Glide across Rottnest Island's interior and northern coastline on a guided Segway tour lasting two hours. Starting from the Settlement, you'll navigate salt lake country and bushland before reaching the island's northern bays and beaches. The route offers genuine chances to spot quokkas in their natural habitat, plus views of the pink-tinged salt lakes that give the interior its distinctive character. It's a different angle on the island—faster and more ground-covering than walking, slower than driving.

What to expect
You'll spend two hours on a Segway, so expect to be standing and balancing the whole time. The route mixes inland terrain—salt lakes with their distinctive pink colouring during certain conditions, plus native bushland—with coastal sections along the northern bays. A guide leads the group and points out wildlife and landscape details as you go. The pace is moderate; you're not racing, but covering proper distance. Quokkas do show up regularly, though spotting them isn't guaranteed. Helmets are provided and mandatory.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have significant cardiovascular concerns. Public transport links exist nearby if needed. Bring water; food and drinks aren't included. Segway experience isn't necessary—the guide covers basics before departure.
