Busselton Jetty

Extending 1.8 kilometres over the protected water's of Geographe Bay, Busselton Jetty is the longest timber piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere.

The jetty is celebrating 151 years of history and introducing some new and exciting things. Not only can you jump on the JETTYT TRAIN and travel 1.7 kilometres out to sea, decsend 8 metres below the water's surface into an UNDERWATER OBSERVATORY or participate in an UNDERWATER HELMET WALK. But, coming December the Busselton Jetty will have PEDAL BOATS, STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS and KAYAKS for hire from the foreshore! Add to that the fishing, swimming and other recreational activities and you have a fun filled day in Busselton.

At the INTERPRETIVE CENTRE you'll find everything you will need for a day’s activities at the jetty. There are drinks, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, ice cream and snacks. Browse the unique and stylish giftware and homeware on display as well as a vast array of souvenirs and mementos. There is also a selection of giftware created by local artisans and stunning furniture and home décor pieces crafted from recycled timber salvaged from the Jetty.

Sit back and relax while our train driver takes you on a 1.7 kilometre journey across the calm, clear waters of Geographe Bay. With 50 seats available (75 to 90 available in mid December) and trips leaving throughout the day, the Jetty Train is the perfect way to experience the Busselton Jetty. From glimpses of dolphins frolicking to spotting local fishermen snaring their catch of the day, the Jetty Train trip promises to deliver something for everyone.

Located 1.7 kilometres from shore at the end of the Jetty, the UNDERWATER OBSERVATORY has been designed to accommodate up to 44 people at one time. Descending 8 metres beneath the waters’ surface, visitors can view the amazing corals and fish life through eleven viewing windows, at various levels within a 9.5 metre diameter observation chamber.Described as Australia’s greatest artificial reef, the Busselton Jetty, with more than 300 individual marine species, is host to an awe inspiring “forest” of vividly-coloured tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates. Each year during autumn and winter, the Leeuwin Current brings a narrow band of warm water down the Western Australian coastline.
