Perfectly managed and presented local valuable resource
What a wonderful group of people to manage and maintain this facility. The volunteer and paid staff are just lovely and the whole experience was one of wonder and joy No council or government involvement so no greed involved and everything is local, sustainable and carefully considered for the environment. Just loved it

Busselton Jetty Train ride and Underwater Observatory
Enjoyed a train ride along Busselton Jetty and a visit to the underwater observatory is a must for the young and old. Be aware that there is stairs to the bottom of the observatory but we were able to be taken back to the top in the lift. Nice to see the sea life as you descend to the bottom.

Amazing Observatory at the end of the Busso Jetty.
The adventure started on the train to the end of the jetty and ten proceeded down the steps to the bottom. There was informative commentary and enough time to observe the reef and marine life. Staff were very helpful and informative. Suitable for all ages and good value for money.

One of the highlights of our 3-weeks in WA...
Highly recommended. The train trip to the end of the long, long pier would have been good on its own - but to have the underwater observatory at the end was the icing on the cake! Absolutely fascinating. A magical experience.
Response from the operator: Thank You

Relaxing, Fun and Informative Day Out in Busselton
On my second day of travel to Busselton Jetty I was guided by Terry who had thoughtfully made an advance booking for us to ride in the first coach at the front and also arranged for us to sit in the last coach on the return trip. This made our journey along the jetty train even more memorable with tranquil scenic views over the beautiful Indian Ocean. Terry then recommended The Goose Café for lunch, a relaxing spot with delicious food which was the perfect break in the day. In the afternoon he brought us to the Sunflower Animal Farm, a very family-oriented zoo where we could get up close and personal with the animals, making it a delightful and interactive experience. Terry was an informative and caring tour guide who made the entire day smooth, enjoyable and truly unforgettable.
Response from the operator: Thank you Vivian; I also enjoyed the day you, your mother and daughter where great company

Private Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does Private Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.
Is Private Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Busselton Jetty and Underwater Observatory Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perth?
+
On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
