Busselton Jetty is very long, though you can walk, the train makes it more enjoyable, and the underwater observatory at the end is nice as well.

The trip was great except the weather that caused to cancel the train activity. After contacting the operator and Klook, managed to get back a refund on the train activity at the jetty. Overall it was a recommended trip for the family! But the operator can considered upgrading the mini van to a much comfy one!

We had an amazing experience on this 4-day, 3-night tour, and a big part of that was thanks to the excellent tour guides and thoughtfully planned itinerary. Day 1 was led by Kenny, who got the tour off to a great start. From Day 2 to Day 4, we were with Yan—who truly stood out for her patience, attention to detail, and warm professionalism. Yan consistently kept us informed about driving times, toilet stops, and meal options, and even shared great food recommendations along the way. Her help with photography was much appreciated, and the aerial shots taken at the Pink Lake were absolutely stunning! The itinerary itself was well-paced, covering many beautiful scenic spots with sufficient time to explore without feeling rushed. It struck a great balance between activity and relaxation. What we especially appreciated was the small group size which made the tour feel more intimate and flexible. It’s a great option for travellers who prefer not to self-drive.

Would like to send my appreciation to our guide and driver Robert. He's indeed a gem. Responsible, organised, kind, smart, hardworking, humorous in the calmest way and infinitely genuine. Rob can practically has his own podcast channel to share his love and insights about WA, the people and life lessons. Learnt so much from how he carries himself over the last 2 days. We wish we could spend more time with Robert. Some observations of how Robert made our trip memorable: 1. He took time to set expectations and gently explained them along the way as he shared past experiences. 2. He timed the itinerary so well so we are not rushed and fun is not being compromised. 3. He made sure everyone is taken care well by making his rounds with us at each site. Yet, he is seen enjoying himself to be immersed in the beauty of WA. 4. He shared beautiful short stories of people living along WA. The Delhi man, who owned the petrol kiosk, bought over the pub in the small town and made the
