The experience
The tour starts with one-on-one Segway training before you leave, so no prior experience is needed. Once you're steady on the device, your guide leads you onto the Brisbane River bike paths, which make up most of the route. The river corridor connects the major stops. You're gliding between them rather than walking or taking a shuttle, which changes how the city unfolds. The 2-hour 15-minute option crosses the Story Bridge itself (an alternative route exists for anyone uncomfortable with heights), then continues to Kangaroo Point Cliffs for views across the water and back toward the city.
South Bank Parklands comes early in most tours, where you'll pass Streets Beach, the Queensland Performing Arts Centre and the Wheel of Brisbane. The City Botanic Gardens section takes you through a rainforest setting. Night tours often spot possums here, and day tours in summer may see Water Dragon Lizards. You'll also ride past the Goodwill Bridge and Kurilpa Bridge, both with city views, and finish along Eagle Street Pier overlooking the river and the Story Bridge from the opposite angle.
The four daily options let you pick the light and pace that suit your day. Morning tours start at 9am, the arvo slot at 12:30pm, sunset at 3pm, and night tours at 6pm. Helmets are provided and required. Wear closed-toe shoes and avoid high heels. The minimum age is 12, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign the waiver. Maximum weight is 125 kg, and the minimum is 38 kg.
Is this one for you?Book the morning or arvo tour if you want clear daylight for photos and views across the river and cliffs. The sunset and night departures suit anyone who prefers softer light or wants to see Brisbane's landmarks lit up after dark: the Story Bridge and city skyline change character once the sun drops.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (12 to 17 years). Children under 12 can't be included in the booking.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What is the Story Bridge crossing like on a Segway?
The 2-hour 15-minute tour includes a ride across the Story Bridge itself on your Segway, with views of Brisbane and the river below. If heights are a concern, the operator offers an alternative route that skips the bridge but keeps the rest of the tour intact.
Will I see wildlife on the Brisbane Segway tour?
Night tours usually spot Australian possums in the City Botanic Gardens section. Day tours in summer may see Water Dragon Lizards. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, but the guide will point out habitat and explain what you might encounter.
How much Segway experience do I need before the tour starts?
No experience is necessary. The tour includes one-on-one personal training before you depart, so you'll learn to balance and control the device before joining the group on the river paths.
Which departure time is best for photography?
The 3pm Sunset Thrill and 6pm Night Tour offer different light for photos. Sunset gives golden hour over the river and landmarks, while the night tour lights up the Story Bridge and city skyline. The morning and arvo options work well for clear daytime shots of the cliffs and gardens.
Can I do a shorter tour if I'm new to Segways?
Yes. The tour comes in three lengths: 45 minutes, 1 hour 15 minutes, and 2 hours 15 minutes. All include the same training and guide, so you can choose based on how long you want to ride and which landmarks matter most to you.
What should I wear on the Segway tour?
Wear closed-toe shoes: no sandals, flip-flops, thongs or high heels. Helmets are provided and required. Dress for the weather and time of day. The 6pm night tour will be cooler than the midday options.
