Extending 1.8 kilometres over the protected waters of Geographe Bay, the heritage listed Busselton Jetty is the longest wooden-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. As one of the most popular tourist attractions in Western Australia, it is a must see for any visitor to the Margaret River region.

Find one of only six operating Underwater Observatory’s in the world, a solar-powered Jetty Train that takes you across the ocean, fisherman snaring their catch and welcoming staff happy to share their local knowledge. At the Busselton Jetty, there is multiple tour options available with something to suit everyone.

Board the train and travel 1.7km to the end of the Jetty to visit the Underwater Observatory. Descend 8 metres to the ocean floor via a spiral staircase to discover an awe-inspiring forest of vividly coloured tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates. Eleven viewing windows at various levels within the Observatory allow visitors to look out on some of the 300 marine species that live beneath the Jetty. Provision of a lift within the Observatory ensures that this amazing experience is available to those with limited mobility. 

There are also a wide variety of tours including Mermaid Tours, Evening Tours and Underwater Helmet Walks. Whilst at the Jetty visit the striking boat-shed style Interpretive Centre that warmly welcomes visitors and provides a relaxed and friendly environment. Browse the unique and stylish giftware on display as well as a vast array of souvenirs and mementos. The Museum now features interactive technology with touch screens and a touch table offering an excellent insight into the Jetty’s colourful past. The Museum also provides information about the Busselton Jetty’s unique Underwater Observatory and the spectacular marine environment beneath the Busselton Jetty.

We were very lucky with the weather when we did the jetty walk , it was enjoyable and so beautiful. Our whole family really loved the tour of the under water observatory too. The visibility was awesome and we saw so many different kinds of fish and sea creatures. The guides were very knowledgeable and made our experience very memorable. Olga Popkova

An incredibly long jetty. It is worth walking to the end. There's a cafe at the end. A train also goes up the middle and there is an underwater museum at the end ( although we didn't try this). The whole foreshore area has great parks, piers to jump off. You can even jump of the Jetty. My kids loved this! There is a lower platform to build up your confidence before trying from the jetty.

Beautiful piece of history and a great spot for fishing moments from new to experienced veterans. It's a great walk in the morning or afternoons if that's your thing, the mini train runs from end to end if you're not walking inclined. The underwater section at the end is worth the trek and I would recommend it to anyone stopped in Busselton for the day but don't take Sam or Jay. Only bad vibes from them 😤. Callum Johnston

Beautiful place especially for spring and summer. We didn’t get to spend much time there as we were on our way to Perth but enjoyed a wonderful stopover. They have cafes and restaurants nearby. Play areas for kids, you could stroll alongside the coastline. Just a lovely place for the family particularly for young families. Will definitely go back and do the team that takes us all the way to the end of the jetty. I think it’s known to be the longest jetty in Oceania. Read that somewhere so don’t take my word for it! But yes definitely going back and spending more time exploring the place. Daisy Rajan

Unique, beautifully presented. Huge amount of open space for sitting, swimming and walking. Favourite place to take the family and dog..on leash. Great new brewery opening, lots of restaurants a walk or train ride to the end of the 2k jetty is a must. Visit the aquarium and cafe at the end. Spacious beach to walk along. Never miss a chance to visit. I've loved every visit and always find a new experience Pamela Hawes
