Most locals know you can walk the Busselton Jetty. At over 1800 metres, it is the longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. They also know that if they decide it would be easier to get transport back, there is a solar-powered Jetty Train you can catch one or both ways.

There's also a striking boat-shed style Interpretive Centre which now features interactive technology with touch screens and a touch table offering an excellent insight into the Jetty's colourful past.

But did you know you can also do -

Mermaid Tours Busselton Jetty Underwater Observatory

Descend 8 metres to the ocean floor via a spiral staircase to 11 viewing windows at various levels within the observatory.

See a unique maritime ecosystem for coral, sponges, octopus, starfish and fish at the Busselton Jetty Underwater Observatory, nine metres below the surface at the end of the jetty. The Underwater Observatory has also installed all new interpretive signage, new technology and sound system during COVID-19 lockdown.
