Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Day Tour

A scenic coastal and country journey to the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere.


The Busselton Jetty tour from Perth takes you on a full-day journey along the Western Australian coastline and farmlands, combining natural landmarks, maritime heritage, and regional produce in a single expertly guided experience.

Departing from your Perth accommodation, the route passes through the coastal city of Mandurah, the regional centre of Bunbury, and the quiet township of Capel before arriving in Busselton. Experienced country drivers with strong regional knowledge lead the journey, ensuring a smooth and informed transit throughout.

The return trip follows a different path through the dairy farming heartland of Brunswick, Wokalup, and Harvey, offering a contrasting perspective on the region. A stop at a well-known local cheese factory adds a taste of regional produce to round out the experience.

Tour Highlights

Walk the iconic Busselton Jetty, stretching 1,841 metres over Geographe Bay.

Ride the Jetty Train to the Underwater Observatory and discover marine life beneath the surface.

Optional visit to Sunflower Animal Farm for families and nature lovers.

Stop at Harvey Cheese Factory for regional tastings and gourmet dairy products.

Travel two distinct scenic routes — coastal on the way out, farmland on the return.

Photography stops along the coast and through picturesque country landscapes.
