SeaLink Rottnest Island · Perth or Fremantle
A SeaLink return from Perth or Fremantle, the admission fee and a one-hour guided Segway ride around the settlement's colonial history, then a free afternoon. It's a fun first hour on the island for anyone 12 or older who would rather glide than pedal.
This package is a SeaLink same-day return from Perth or Fremantle with the island admission fee and a one-hour guided Segway tour. The listing describes a route along Thomson Bay, past the Rottnest pub, to Kingstown Barracks, retracing the colonial settlement. After the ride the afternoon is yours.
Segway Tours Rottnest Island runs the ride. Its 1-hour Settlement Explorer listing gives the meeting point as Kingstown Barracks, start times of 11am and 2:30pm, groups of up to 10, and a safety briefing and training before you set off.
