Еднодневна екскурзия до Puffing Billy и Healesville Sanctuary

Това беше най-очакваното пътуване до Мелбърн и наистина беше незабравимо. В 8:25 сутринта чакахме совалката пред театър „Риджънт“. Добре че получих имейл, че ще има лилав автобус и екскурзовод. Алън беше много мил, нежен и с чувство за хумор, обслужването му беше внимателно и той беше много добър човек, което направи пътуването ни, на близо 20 туристи, много приятно. Всички точки от маршрута бяха посетени, само последователността беше различна. В средата на април времето беше слънчево и температурата комфортна, а по време на пътуването с влак духаше лек, хладен бриз. Сутринта първо отидохме в зоопарка, където видяхме сладки коали 🐨 и австралийски кенгура 🦘. След това спряхме на горска пътека, за да вдишаме фитонциди и да видим гигантски дървета. Имаше тоалетни и престоят беше около 15 минути. Следобед в 14:00 часа се качихме на парен влак за около 1 час, а пейзажът по пътя беше красив и освежаващ. Цялото пътуване приключи около 16:00 часа, след което се върнахме в града с автобус. Успяхме да се запознаем с приятели от различни страни. Силно препоръчвам това пътуване 👍

Мястото за взимане беше удобно в центъра, недалеч от хотела ми. Нашият шофьор Маргарет от exploreaustrailia беше страхотна, много забавна и знаеше много за района и дестинациите. Хареса ми пътуването с Puffing Billy, а след това и зоната с дивата природа. Бих го направил отново следващия път, когато посетя.

well organized trip, Darren pulled us to a cabin stop for coffee prior to puffing Billy. you can either shop for souvenirs, get a coffee or enjoy a walk in the woods. He took care of us well and planned out the trip well. the train right was refreshing and the trip to the sanctuary was great, saw many koalas and a bird show, all in a pristine natural environment.

Our driver and guide was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of insights about Melbourne. The Puffing Billy Railway was a true highlight, offering breathtaking views as we rode through lush forests. The sanctuary was beautiful too, with up-close encounters with Australia’s unique wildlife. Highly recommend this tour for a perfect blend of nature and fun! 🌿🚂✨

good! pick up was well organised. both attractions were enjoyable and highly recommended! booking this tour with explore Australia was a good way to get to the attractions in the most convenient manner :)

after you book from Klook, the tour company will email you. on the day itself, LOOK out for the bus with the same company logo on it! don’t board the WRONG one! overall was good. more than enough time to explore and not rushy! The place where you get to see animals was awesome! same as Perth zoo if you been there! :) have a great trip!

Many thanks to Darren for being such a knowledgeable guide for this 1 Day trip! Despite the short day, he is able to provide the key pointers to maximise our time during our visit to these places of interest.

Our guide, Mark is a excellent lead and driver. The tour started on time and ended well. The arrangement was great as we had plenty of activities yet sufficient rest throughout. He also volunteered to take nice pictures for us too. Highly recommend and well done, Mark!

great experience despite hiccups and bad weather, raining pretty much all day. Our guide Gina tried her best to manage the schedule, which means skipped some activities in the program which is fine considering the conditions, and make us happy, taking care and taking photos. This is my first time going with a big group of 24 people, but it went well. everyone was on time, etc. Puffing Billy was amazing! make sure you get the platform side (right side of the train). Healsville Sanctuary is better than my expectation. even though it’s not my first time seeing local animals, but here they look better than in a zoo (bigger, easier to spot). surprisingly I enjoy the aviary part which I never like before, both walking with parrots and cockatoos flying around, and Spirit of the Sky show. The boring rainy day can’t get better. Thanks to Gina and Exploreaustralia.

Embarking on the Puffing Billy and Healesville Sanctuary one-day trip tour was an unforgettable journey filled with charm, adventure, and nature's wonders. Whether you're a nature lover, history buff, or simply seeking a day of enchantment, this tour is a must-do when visiting Melbourne.
