Sit back, relax and take in the stunning views of the City Skyline South Perth and Kings Park, as you glide along the Swan on a waterbike.  A new and unique perspective and and exciting new water adventure for most ages and abilities.

Guided Waterbike rides are small, exclusive groups, with a private guide.  Personalised attention makes for a truly unique water adventure.
