Rottnest Island Segway 1.5-Hour Fortress Adventure Tour


Who This Trip Suits
An hour and a half off-road on a Segway, after a training session, to the Bickley Battery gun emplacements and the Jubilee Hill lookout, with a guide telling the story of the island’s part in defending Fremantle in the Second World War. Segway Tours WA runs it, and it is rated 4.7 from 71 reviews.
You learn to ride in an off-road practice area first, then follow your guide on a radio headset along the coast and up to the batteries, stopping for photos. No experience is needed; the listing says the guides are accredited and some have won state and national awards. Guests name Harriet and James, and one went on what became a one-to-one tour when nobody else had booked. One February guest was lucky with mild, clear weather and no wind.
Practical points from the listing: ages 12 and up, with weight limits, and not for pregnant women or people with mobility impairments. The ferry is not included: pair it with a ferry ticket. For a shorter ride around the settlement, Segway Tours WA’s 1-hour Settlement tour is US$69.
The price is from US$98 a person (checked October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. The bike or bus guide compares the other ways round the island.
