Brisbane Segway Sightseeing Tour: Glide Along the River, South Bank & Story Bridge
Glide the riverfront on a guided Segway tour through Brisbane’s South Bank, Story Bridge and Kangaroo Point. Small groups, hands-on training and multiple tour lengths make this an easy way to see the city’s highlights.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
No sandals—sturdy, flat shoes improve balance and protect your feet during training and stops.
Stay hydrated and sun-safe
Bring a refillable water bottle and sunscreen—Brisbane sun is strong, especially on midday tours.
Arrive early for training
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before departure for the mandatory one-on-one Segway briefing and helmet fitting.
Check weight and health limits
Maximum weight is 125 kg and minimum is 38 kg; disclose spinal, heart, or pregnancy concerns when booking.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Botanic Gardens rainforest loop — a quiet patch of canopy and unusual palms off the main paths
- •Howard Smith Wharves under-story dining — best for a post-ride drink with river views away from the busiest piers
Wildlife
- •Eastern water dragon (bask on riverbanks)
- •Common brushtail possum (seen on night tours)
Conservation Note
Stick to paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and pack out trash—Brisbane River and parkland restoration programs rely on low-impact visitor behavior.
South Bank was transformed from the 1988 World Expo grounds into Brisbane’s cultural riverside hub; the Story Bridge, completed in 1940, marks the city’s expansion era.
