About this tour
Glide across Rottnest Island's quieter corners on a Segway, visiting abandoned military installations and hidden beaches in 90 minutes. Your guide unpacks the island's wartime defences—from Bickley Battery's gun emplacements to Jubilee Hill's vantage point—while you clock the famous quokkas and pristine shoreline. Built for those who want wheels instead of feet, with full kit and radio comms included.

What to expect
After a thorough training session and safety briefing, you'll mount a rugged Segway and follow your guide on sealed and unsealed paths across the island's spine. Expect gentle inclines, tight turns, and the occasional sandy stretch. You'll stop at three military locations—each with commanding views—where your guide shares stories of wartime fortifications and strategic importance. The ride weaves between quiet bays and lesser-known beaches, giving you time to photograph quokkas at leisure. Pace is slow enough to chat and absorb the surroundings, fast enough to cover ground efficiently.
