Harriet our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The brief but important introduction was well explained and was surprisingly easy to pick up for a first time user. Really enjoyed the trip around the settlement and the Basin on Rotto. Would plan to take my family on the longer tour, next time we visit the island or take another tour nearer Perth city. Thanks 😊

Our Segway tour was such fun!! Our guide, James, was fantastic. After the initial training session we were off and the more you rode on the Segway, the easier it became. Our weather was sensational and the tour was informative and fun. James took photos of us on our phones, which was great. Would recommend to anyone!!
So Easy!!!

We did both the Rottnest Island Settlement tour and the King's Park tour, Both were excellent, It took just a few minutes to get the hang of riding a segway. It is a great way to see a new area because you can cover much more ground than walking without being confined to a bus. In addition they are great fun. Our guide was Liz for both trips and she was a wealth of historical information as well as a great segway instructor. Both tours packed lots of information into the allotted time. The Rottnest Island tour is a little different than other segway tours we have taken in that the segway uses a wider "off road" tire which makes it easier to include some beach areas on the island.
Fantastic

Never had ridden a segway before I was a bit apprehensive but soon got the hang of it. A lot of fun. Something I will definitely do again.
