About the Business
Welcome to Busselton Jetty, a renowned establishment and one of the most captivating tourist attractions in Australia. Located at Foreshore Parade in Busselton, Western Australia, this iconic institution offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.
As you step onto the Jetty, you'll be greeted with the mesmerizing beauty of the surrounding area. Take a leisurely stroll along the 1.841-kilometer-long timber-piled jetty, which extends over the tranquil waters of Geographe Bay. Marvel at the breathtaking 360-degree views that await you as you walk to the end and back.
For an even more immersive experience, embark on the Underwater Observatory Tour. This 1 hour and 45-minute adventure includes a scenic Train Ride to and from the Observatory, as well as a guided tour of the remarkable 8-meter-deep Underwater Observatory.

If you prefer a shorter excursion, the Mini Tour is perfect for you. This self-guided 15-minute tour allows you to explore the Underwater Observatory at your own pace. While a tour guide is available to answer any questions you may have, they will not guide you around the facility. Please note that Mini Tours are only available in person at the Interpretive Centre and are subject to seasonal availability.

"Wow, I would say best place to spend time with your loved ones. 2hr drive from city. Spectacular sunset with amazing view from Jetty."
"I was so disappointed that there is a charge to walk on the jetty!! Yes I get that it will continue to require maintenance but as an Australian citizen who has paid taxes since I was 16 this seems like just another money maker! I refused to pay on principle! Coming to Busselton as part of a 5 month trip around WA. This was certainly not a highlight. The foreshore is stunning and natural environment continues to impress but being charged to walk on a jetty… not for me!"
"Always love a visit to Busselton Jetty. It's just such a peaceful and relaxing spot especially on non school holiday periods. The foreshore has had quite a refresh with the new playground and skate park now and new brewery on the waterfront. You can walk to end of the jetty to visit the underwater observatory or take the train in. Tickets apply. Highly recommend a visit with the family ✨️"
"A casual trip on the "world's only battery-powered train into the ocean", about 15 min each way. You can still take a walk along the jetty. The train trip feels different but worthwhile."
