Busselton: 2.5-Hour High Ropes Course

2. Busselton: 2.5-Hour High Ropes Course

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime high ropes course in Busselton, Western Australia. Starting off at just 3 meters and working up to 19 meters above the forest floor, the activities increase in difficulty — it all gets wobblier, longer, and more challenging as you progress. Each course has a series of fun and challenging activities that wind their way through the treetops.   Ziplines are everywhere throughout the park, and there’s even a dedicated zipline course of more than 7 zips. Starting at 18 meters, with no additional climbing, the course cuts its way through the park and ends with the final zip of more than 150 meters in length.   Other exciting activities include riding a BMX more than 9 meters into the air, skateboarding through the trees, Tarzan jumping, free-fall quick jumps, and balancing lines. There’s something here for everyone, from first-timers who like their adventure “very soft” to the experienced enthusiasts.

What people are saying about Busselton

great afternoon out, lucky with weather as we could get all the way down to Cape Naturaliste and we spotted about 8 whales at different times. They were all heading South so we were lucky to have seen them before they disappeared around the Cape on their way to Antartica. The boat is clean and comfortable, the Captain followed Whales that were spotted but didn't get in close, leaving it to the animals to approach us. The marine Biologist was very knowledgeable. all the crew were charming and accommodating.

Our little bus was full of great people. Have a positive attitude! The wineries were excellent to visit and the food was good and well-times.

We had the best tour guide in Fran. She was very informative and made the experience very enjoyable.

It was the experience of a lifetime as we saw Blue Whales
