Book Direct with the Owner at Busselton Jetty with Holiday Byron Bay in Busselton, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
The Busselton Jetty experience takes you 1.8 kilometres out to sea, on the longest timber-piled jetty in the southern hemisphere, and the second longest in the world. Stroll or take a train ride over the waters of Geographe Bay to the Underwater Observatory, your window to Australia's best artificial reef.
Just two hours 40 minutes south of Perth, Busselton Jetty is a must-see on your journey south. You'll find the entrance on the main swimming beach, a short walk from Busselton's high street.
Built over 150 years ago, the jetty underwent an AUD27 million refurbishment, adding interpretive displays and shelters, fish cleaning bays, swimming platforms and heritage sculptures.
At the end of your 1.7 kilometre walk or train ride, the Underwater Observatory invites you to take the eight metre plunge, via the stairs or lift, to the ocean floor. Through eleven viewing windows, you can marvel at forests of vividly coloured sub-tropical corals and sponges, and the sheer diversity of marine life, without zipping on a diving suit.
Time your visit to coincide with the Ironman Western Australia Triathlon in summer and witness the spectacle of the world's best ironmen and women tackling the gruelling 3.6 kilometre jetty swim.
