The experience

You drive your own car to Uluru and meet your guide at the site. After instruction on how to ride a Segway, you set off on a guided circuit around the full base of the rock. The guide shares stories about Aboriginal culture, the geology of Uluru, its history, and the plants and animals of the area as you ride. A professional guide leads the group, which stays under ten people.

The activity runs 2.5 hours from start to finish. You'll need moderate fitness to stand and balance on the Segway for that span, and you must weigh between 45 and 117 kilograms. The operator provides a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. Children aged 12 and up can join if accompanied by an adult, as long as they meet the weight and fitness requirements.
