Better yet, bring your friends and stand against each other to see who can complete the course best. Forest Adventures high ropes course takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete.

Visit a Brewery

There's nothing more refreshing than an ice-cold brew on a hot summer day. If you love all things beer, then visit a brewery while you're in Busselton.

Here, you will find up to 25 taps of delicious craft beers with something for everyone. Sample some of the sublime craft beers on offer and pair them with a salty snack on their mouth-watering menu.
