IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO NOTE WHEN ARRIVING VIA CRUISE SHIP TO BUSSELTON JETTY: Allow sufficient time to get to shore. Busselton is a "tender-port", with your vessel having to moor up in deeper water, due to the expansive shallow waters of Geographe Bay. You will be ferried to shore on tenders which can take time, depending on the size of your ship. Have your documentation ready. Due to capacity limitations of tenders, some larger vessels will prioritise disembarking passengers based on their excursion times. Please ensure you have your ticket available showing your 10.00am collection time, to ensure you are able to disembark with enough time to meet the tour. Keep an eye out for your WINE FOR DUDES tour guide. The Busselton Jetty precinct is busy on the quietest days, and extremely busy on "cruise ship days". Our guide will wait at the Busselton Jetty Visitor Centre and will be recognisable by the red diamond on their shirt! Please also keep your phone handy, ideally with Whatsapp, in case they need to call. WE WILL BE LATE! We have purposely nominated your tour time as 10.00am, to ensure you are allowed to disembark the ship with plenty of time, as some vessels will prioritise disembarking passengers based on who has booked the expensive tours they sell on through the cruiseliners. We will leave at 10.30am!
