RESPONSIBLE TOURING

We strive to ensure that our Central Australia Region and local community benefit from our touring. To do this we engage with our community in a number of ways. Where possible we buy local and work with local trades people. We engage with our local tourism industry as well.  One example of this is our Director, Mark Swindells, who holds a position on the Tourism Central Australia Board of Directors.

We offer culturally responsible touring. Our guides love to share Anangu, local Indigenous, culture. They  do this in a responsible way. All of our guides have completed a specially tailored course, through Charles Darwin University.  The course teaches them about our region and how to appropriately share cultural information.

Segway’s use dynamic stabilisation technology. Segway’s move when you shift your center of gravity. For example, the wheels will move forward or backward when you lean forward or backward. At Uluru Segway Tours we use a 2X SE Segway.

In addition to this 2.5% of every tour sold goes to supporting the local Indigenous community, Mutitjulu.  We also work with employment agencies to provide work experience and potential future employment opportunities for Anangu.

It is still possible to fall while riding a Segway. However we equip tour participants with all of the necessary skills to operate a Segway safely. We have a training course that simulates different terrains that participants will experience on the tour.

Segway’s are designed to balance for you. It is the rider though who will be in control of the Segway. This includes the direction and speed.  It is important to ride a Segway with care. Be aware of surroundings and hazards.

Uluru Segway Tours provide a Segway training and assessment session at the start of each tour. During this session our tour leaders will train and assess individuals. If participants can’t demonstrate they are able to safely operate a Segway they will not be able to participate.

Our Segway’s operate as part of a guided tour. They are not available to be rented without a guide.

We offer small group tours with a maximum of 12 people.

It’s a great idea to book a Segway tour in advance. This will make sure you can ride at the time that best suits you. This can be done directly through our booking page. You can also visit us at the Tourist Information Centre at the Ayers Rock Resort or alternatively at our base site at Uluru located in the Kuniya car park to discuss tour options.

On days when it is raining or after heavy rains we may not be able to go the whole way around the base of Uluru. This is because the tracks can get too muddy and hazardous and we don’t want to compress the tracks, making tyre marks. On these occasions we will instead go a quarter of the way around Uluru and spend a little bit more time on foot, exploring caves and waterholes. If you’re lucky we might even get to see some waterfalls.

Participants are required to wear closed in shoes whilst participating in any Uluru Segway tour activity. Participants wearing flip flops or thongs will not be permitted to engage in any Uluru Segway Tours activity under any circumstances. It’s quite sunny in Central Australia therefore we recommend that you wear a shirt a that covers your shoulders and that you bring 1L of water, sunscreen and a cap.

Participants are welcome to bring a back pack or small bag if they wish. We do provide water bottles holders for guest to use to carry their water bottle.

Uluru Segway Tours operate in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Northern Territory. Our site is located at the base of Uluru/Ayers Rock in the  Kuniya car park.

Yes, you can book a private Segway tour for your small group or function. Contact reservations for details.
