Busselton: 2.5-Hour High Ropes Course

1. 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

Ryan and Mick are awesome, we enjoyed the time on the tour all time, they are full of knowledge and shared the special site to us. Before we book the tour, we look though so many tour in Margaret river, we want to know a bit more than just taking the wine tour, and getting drunk. So this is perfect for us, local sightseeing but still able to enjoy what the region has to offer!

It’s a very long day but the tour company takes care of everything and does all the driving so how good is that? A very comfortable coach. You get taken to the most interesting places in the area and given reasonable time to enjoy them. Both members of the team were good. What was interesting was how insignificant the actual Margaret River is!

It was a fulfilling tour where you can see all of these in one day, including hotel pickup and drop-off, and the driver's kind and courteous service. Satisfied. If there is a point to be improved, it is cold inside the bus, so I would like the air conditioning to be properly controlled.

A brilliant informative trip from two brothers who had lived in the area all their life and had extensive knowledge of the marine and land environment . The wine tasting was almost a bonus.

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