Busselton Jetty

The Life Aquatic at Underwater Observatory Discover life beneath the waves during a guided tour of the Busselton Jetty Underwater Observatory. Board your jetty train for the transfer along the longest wooden pier in the Southern Hemisphere; it stretches 6,000 feet into Geographe Bay. Upon arrival at the Underwater Observatory, descend more than 25 feet below the water’s surface for 360-degree views of a vibrant coral reef. Admire the brightly colored corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates in their natural habitat through the 11 viewing windows of the observation chamber. Learn how life here changes with the seasons and listen to the sound of crashing waves through an underwater microphone. At the end of your tour, you can walk back across the jetty or board the Stocker Preston Express electric jetty train to return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
