Operated by Swan Dive · Busselton, Western Australia
The Busselton Jetty stretches 1.8 kilometers into the calm, turquoise waters of Geographe Bay in Western Australia, standing as the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. Beyond its historic timber legs lies one of the region’s most captivating underwater experiences: an extensive artificial reef hosting over 300 marine species alongside a groundbreaking underwater sculpture trail. Swan Dive offers a distinctive 1.5-hour snorkel tour that brings you face-to-face with this vibrant aquatic world.
As you rendezvous at the Busselton Foreshore with the Swan Dive team, you’re equipped with high-quality snorkel gear and briefed by expert guides committed to safety and fun for all skill levels. A short, scenic boat ride delivers you to the far end of the jetty, where depths reach up to 9 meters. Here, the underwater art installations by local artists blend seamlessly with thriving coral formations that have developed over 160 years, creating an extraordinary habitat. Schools of brightly colored fish, curious cuttlefish, octopuses, and sponges weave through the sculptures, making each paddle a unique discovery.
This snorkel adventure stands out by combining natural and cultural elements—turning marine ecology and creative expression into a shared experience. The tour’s small group size ensures personalized attention, appealing to families, first-timers, and seasoned snorkelers alike. Beyond the reef, Busselton’s coastal charm and protected Sanctuary Zone emphasize conservation, encouraging a deeper appreciation for sustaining marine environments.
