Perth City Riverside Segway Tour: Elizabeth Quay on two wheels

Black swans nest in the parkland you'll glide past.

A one-hour Segway tour around Perth's Elizabeth Quay and Swan River foreshore, guided in English with training, safety equipment and radio communication included. You'll ride west past the Perth Bell Tower through the new Elizabeth Quay development to the base of Kings Park, then explore John Oldham Park's fountains and hidden parkland where Perth's iconic black swans make their nests. Minimum age is 12. Weight range 45–118 kg.

The experience

You're new to Perth or have a free afternoon and want to see the riverfront without walking the whole thing. A Segway tour covers more ground than your feet would in an hour and keeps the pace steady enough that you're watching the sights instead of managing the effort. The guide handles the commentary through your radio headset while you focus on the ride itself.

Training happens first: the guide walks you through balance and steering on flat ground before the group moves onto the actual route. Once you're steady, you glide west past the Perth Bell Tower and into Elizabeth Quay, the new development that lines the Swan River foreshore in the CBD. The route takes you through the restaurants and river-facing spaces, then continues to the base of Kings Park. From there you explore John Oldham Park, where fountains and waterfalls sit hidden among the parkland, and the foreshore areas where Perth's black swans nest and feed. The whole loop runs about an hour, which is long enough to see the major landmarks and the quieter pockets most first-time visitors miss.

All safety equipment (helmet, wrist guards, the works) comes with the tour. The Segway itself is included, and the radio lets you hear the guide clearly even when you're spread out across the foreshore. You need to weigh between 45 and 118 kilograms and be at least 12 years old. Anyone under 18 rides with a parent or guardian present.

What’s included

• Personal radio headsets for hearing the guide.
• full rider training and balance assessment on flat ground before the tour.
• a knowledgeable live guide speaking English.
• all safety equipment including helmet and wrist guards.
• use of the Segway for the full hour.

What's Elizabeth Quay and why is it worth seeing on a Segway?

Elizabeth Quay is Perth's newest major development on the Swan River foreshore in the CBD, built as a hub of restaurants, river transport and public space. A Segway lets you cover the whole precinct and the surrounding foreshore (including the parkland and fountains of John Oldham Park) in one loop without backtracking, and you move fast enough to see both the main attractions and the quieter nesting grounds where the black swans gather.

Do I need Segway experience to join this tour?

The Segway itself, all safety equipment (helmet and wrist guards), a live English-speaking guide, radio headsets so you can hear the commentary clearly, and the rider training and assessment are all included.
