The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
In port at Busselton, the bucket-list move is Busselton Jetty: Underwater Observatory & Scenic Train Ride. Below: 1 bucket-list things to do on a Busselton port day — worth weighing against whatever your ship offers.
Walk — or ride — the Southern Hemisphere's longest timber-piled jetty, then descend 8 metres into a living coral reef observatory teeming with nudibranchs, octopus and jewel-bright fish. An utterly singular Australian icon.
