The Experience

You arrive at the meeting point and get fitted with a helmet and safety gear, then spend time learning to ride the Segway before the tour begins. The training ensures you're comfortable on the machine, and the guide assesses your skill level so the group moves at a pace that works for everyone. Once you're ready, you head out through Kings Park and Botanic Garden, gliding past the Western Australian Boab Tree and stopping at photogenic spots along the way.

The route takes you to the Bell Tower and Elizabeth Quay, where you'll see St Georges Terrace and the Barracks Arch, then ride past the University and along trails that frame iconic views over Perth City and the Swan River. The Blue Boat House—Perth's most photographed spot—is a key stop where you can dismount and capture photos. Throughout the 2.5 hours, you wear a personal radio receiver so you hear the guide's commentary clearly without shouting, and the small group size means there's time to ask about what you're seeing.

The tour works best if you're comfortable balancing on a motorized platform and can follow instructions in English. You'll need to weigh between 45 and 135 kilograms, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign the waiver. The guide handles the route and timing; you just need to show up ready to ride.

Top questions

What is the Blue Boat House and why do people photograph it so much?

The Blue Boat House is an iconic waterfront structure on the Swan River that has become Perth's most photographed landmark. The tour stops there specifically so you can see it in person and take your own photos from the Segway.

Do I need to know how to ride a Segway before I book?

No. The tour includes full rider training and a safety assessment before you start, so beginners are welcome. The guide checks your comfort level and the group moves at a pace that works for everyone.

How much of the tour is spent in Kings Park itself?

You ride through the beautiful Kings Park and Botanic Garden with your guide, stopping at several photogenic locations. The full 2.5-hour tour also includes city landmarks and the Swan River, so Kings Park is a major part but not the entire route.

Can I hear the guide clearly while riding?

Yes. You wear a personal radio receiver during the tour so you hear the guide's commentary without them having to shout. This makes it easy to learn about Perth's history and culture as you ride.

What happens if I'm not confident on the Segway after training?

The guide assesses your skill during the training session and adjusts the group's pace accordingly. Small group sizes mean the guide can work with different comfort levels, and you can ask questions or take breaks as needed.

Is there a weight or age limit for this tour?

Riders must be at least 12 years old and weigh between 45 and 135 kilograms. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign the waiver before the tour starts.
