Tour overview
Come and join our award winning company on a fabulous guided bike tour and discover some of Perth’s majestic foreshores. This gentle ride utilises Perth’s comprehensive network of modern cycle paths leaving you the opportunity to explore and absorb the scenic and very photogenic locations.
This fun, vibrant and wonderfully engaging tour starts under the watchful eyes of the giant frill neck lizard and numbat public artworks at the Mindeerup piazza, South Perth’s foreshore gateway. From here we peddle a specially chosen route that has been carefully curated to ensure we avoid major hills, keeping the route as flat and enjoyable as possible.
Heading towards the Causeway bridge, we stop and explore some hidden wetlands, learn about historical locations whilst observing some incredible bird life. We continue on into the photogenic Optus Stadium hub and across the very iconic Matagarup bridge and into Claisebrook Cove for a cafe break. We enjoy the lovely waterscapes of this vibrant hub and spend time discovering a significant location for the local Noongar people of the area.
Our ride back takes us through the waterfront precinct of Elizabeth Quay, an area that brings the city and river together. Here your guide will highlight some of Perth’s more urban and modern locations including the unique and distinctive Bell Tower.
We finish our tour with a gentle ride over the Narrows Bridge and back to the South Perth foreshore.
Our small group guided tours and energetic narrative are all about actively connecting you with nature rather than strenuous exercise and so cater for a wide range of ages and skill levels. We aim to leave you energised and with a strong sense of accomplishment.

Nice quick ferry ride over to Mends St and a 2 minute walk up the hill to the arcade on the right to meet with Bryan at Perth South Cycles shop.
A quick tryout to familiarise ourselves with the Specialized bikes and off we went around Perth.
Really decent bike tour presented by Bryan who was friendly and approachable and offered loads of insights into the history of Perth and a really informative tour.
We did a big loop along the Swan River through the wetlands and up to the majestic new Optus stadium, ending up at the Bell Tower and back over to South Perth.
Gave us a great insight into a city that we really like-friendly, clean and interesting.
Stopped off at a nice coffee shop on the riverbanks where Bryan told us about areas that may interest us plus some eateries to try out and some great insights into our upcoming trek down to Margaret’s River region.
Would definitely recommend if you enjoy understanding some of how Perth has evolved over the last 200 years without information overload and to get a nice perspective of the layout of this beautiful city. Plus of course a guide where nothing was too much trouble and was able to answer a multitude of questions to supplement our knowledge.
Kyle and Brian were amazing - so welcoming, informative and well organised. They delivered a faultless tour that made for a fun, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable morning. It was our 3rd GoGo tour and we are already looking forward to the next one.
Highly recommended experience as we were taken care of so well by Bryan and Kyle in terms of thoroughly providing extensive info on what we were doing on the day and safety precautions. A surprising delight was the history lesson of WA which was quite entertaining.
The guys running the tour were incredibly flexible and genuinely great with the kids, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. We felt well looked after and had a great time on the water.
We 100% recommend GoGo Active Tours to families and anyone looking for a fun and informative way to explore Perth.
Brian was a wonderful guide. He provided an interesting and thoughtful commentary. Lots to see and appreciate.
Bryan and Kyle went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable and informative time. Their enthusiasm for and knowledge about the flora and history of the area plus the care they showed for us was just fantastic. The route was an easy peddle and I feel like we got a behind the scenes tour of everything Western Australia’s Botanic Garden has to offer.
Thanks again boys and we’ll see you for wildflower season next year!
Plaques surrounding the pool honour the fifteen Victoria Cross and two George Cross recipients from Western Australia across the Boer War, First World War and Second World War.
A fantastic gift from my daughter.
One of the best vistas in Perth and a lovely botanical garden. It is a must see
The tour exceeded our expectations, the knowledge shared and places we visited throughout the tour were very special- thanks so much for a wonderful day out around a beautiful city

We recently went on a kayaking tour with GoGo Tours over the weekend, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Matt, did a fantastic job sharing the history of the river and teaching us about the local flora and fauna. His passion and knowledge made the tour truly special.
The inflatable kayaks were a highlight—super comfortable and added to the enjoyment of the trip.
Thank you, Matt, for making this an exceptional adventure. We highly recommend GoGo Tours for anyone looking for a unique and educational outdoor experience!
The memorial was designed by Sir Talbot Hobbs and dedicated in 1929 in memory of Australian servicemen and women who perished during WWI. It now commemorates those fallen in later conflicts which involved Australians as well. What you will also see in addition to the original Cenotaph are the Court of Contemplation, Eternal Flame, Reflection Pool and ANZAC Bluff Plaque.
Well worth spending a few minutes to pay respects and admire the State War Memorial if planning to visit and spend time in this section of Kings Park.
Lovely couple of hours on the river.
Tim & Sarah
This tour of the Canning River Wetlands was so worthwhile. If you do nothing else or have a free day in Perth this is so fabulous to do!
It’s not a strenuous tour the paddling is easy and the time is relaxing. Matt has super stable inflatable kayaks that are easy to operate.
