After being picked up from a convenient central Melbourne CBD location in air-conditioned comfort on this full-day tour, your first stop will be the picturesque Emerald Lake in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges where you will have the opportunity to purchase your own lunch and enjoy a leisurely walk around the Lake. Then it's all aboard the world-famous Puffing Billy Steam Train. The train winds through the hills and finishes at Belgrave. Then it's off on a scenic drive to the next stop The Nobbies to take in the vista of this iconic lookout. Next it's time to visit the Phillip Island Wildlife Animal Park where you can purchase dinner before watching the adorable penguins emerge from the rolling waves and make their way home into their burrows.

We had an excellent trip to Puffing Billy and Penguin Parade, John our driver/guide was what made the day with his information and tips to get the most out of the experience. Highly recommended

John was our guide, he was a local with tons of insights, the train was fun, hanging out the side with beautiful jungle views and the little penguins showed up and were all over the place.

Loki is very informative, and knows how to get the tour going, he said he just started 2 weeks ago but it seems that he's been doing this his whole life. definitely worth the trip

My partner and I are super happy with the whole experience and especially had a great experience with our tour guide Lachy, who was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Lachy offered to take photos for us at each location which was a plus too. The whole experience was very smooth. We were provided with free time to explore after each drive which was nice. Overall an amazing experience with very high standards of service from this tour guide and organisers. Highly recommended.

The guide was very kind, and I enjoyed the ride on the steam locomotive, which I normally cannot ride, and the close-up view of the penguins!

Our tourguide, Nick was very informative. Pointed out different locations and told us the history behind it. We arrived st Puffing Billy while it was raining but tje experience was still great! Nick brought us to see some wallabies while on the way to the Penguin Parade. He showed us where we can see the penguins up close! Great tour from Nick indeed! Would recommend 👍🏽

The bus driver and tour guide, John, is very friendly and professional. The time management is good and we can come back Melbourne before 9pm to catch public transport. Maybe 15-20 minutes more for lunch break. It was raining when we boarded Puffing Billy train but it was a special and memorable experience. John also brought us to see wild animals (wallaby and goose) before penguin parade. Overall, it was a pleasant trip.

Dear sir,
Firstly, thank you very much for the tour packages that you had offered to us.
Please refer to the followings for future suggestions:
1. Bus - it's comfortable but the space is a bit limited and the seats are not easily adjusted.
2. Puffing Billy trip - exciting ride but I'm thinking of the safety of passengers too at times when the train was passing through the elevated railway track at certain areas.
3. Philip Island - we managed to see the penguins. It's a unique experience.
Bus tour driver - warm, insightful and welcoming.

I absolutely did have wonderful a wonderful time. The Puffing Billy was stunting. Nearby villagers had very good hospitality. Landscapes of Philip Island and wild life animals were uttery exotic. Penguins were adorable. I wish I could cuddle them all. Big thank you for our guide (Raphe). He was dedicated and polite. He also had a great sense of humor. I definitely recommend him, you cannot choose guide though.

Brilliant tour from start to finish. Nik pointed things out as we left Melbourne and gave lots of information as we travelled. Puffing Billy was brilliant fun, travelling though some beautiful scenery. Phillip Island was great and again Nik went out of his way to ensure everyone had a great time showing us all lots of different wildlife, before arriving at the penguin parade. Loved seeing all the penguins coming up the beach and finding their homes. A throughly enjoyable trip that I would highly recommend.
Possibly too long a day for those with little ones.
