Best Segway experience I’ve had - made my day 🫶

5.00I went on the segway last week on the 24th, what a way to spend my birthday! Would do it again in a heartbeat. Lauren was amazing, she gave clear instructions and fun facts about the island. She also went above and beyond with helping me take quokka selfies and sharing her food recommendations. Amanda and the team are just incredible, very accomodating even though I had to make changes on the day. If you are like me not a strong cyclist, I would highly recommend giving segway a go. If I can do it, you can too 😊.

5.00The weather was terrible and it was raining, but James still made our tour an enjoyable experience. Riding the segway was quite intuitive and we saw a lot of the island. James was knowledgable and amusing, and the earpieces made it easy to hear what he was saying at all times.
Best Way to See Rottnest!

5.00Wow - this is the only way to see the island! Our guide Harriet was not only incredibly informative but gave us great advice on how to make the most out of our time on the island. We have done Segway tours on every continent that has them (none in Antarctica. This one was one of the best. Segways are easy to control and get a round and with all the hills on Rottnest Segways are the best way to see everything up close. Harriet was a master at pointing out the little Quokka friends! She had great recommendations on the best (and least busy) snorkel locaitons, food, etc.
Short tour of the main areas of Rottnest for those not wanting to cycle in the heat!

5.00We were had a lovely hour or so jetting around the island and the guide was very informative. The only downfall was the flies on the day we visited. I would definitely recommend this tour.
