Tours de Puffing Billy Railway

Our guide, William, made the whole experience seamless from pick up to finish. He gave a detailed itinerary the night before and updated us on everything throughout the trip. The tour was a great way to do many things in a day. I tried looking for a way to get the Puffing Billy train tickets but it was way simpler to have it part of the tour. There were various discounted extras during the tour for the wine tasting, lunch(the beef was tasty and tender), and Maru Koala which I thought were good deals. The vehicle was a smaller 13person bus/van so it was a more personalized tour as well. The penguin parade is also later at night due to daylight savings, so it was very convenient to have the leisurely ride back to Melbourne. Overall had a great time.

Fulfilling tour. Every spot is timed so you get to see all the sites but with limited time. We departed 12.30pm and returned 11.30pm. Our bus was of medium size, around 25 people which was comfortable and helped us move quickly. Puffing Billy was a cute experience. Just skip shopping and board immediately to secure a seat on the “better” right-hand side of the cart. Penguin experience was amazing, you can see them really up close. We get the PREMIUM PLUS SEATS. But Premium seats are not really necessary though you can upgrade to easily see penguins coming from the beach. if you are under General Admission, it’s best skip the beach and just directly stand on the broadwalk on the right-hand side and wait for them there. It’s one of the penguin highways they'll definitely walk pass. Keep in mind photos/videos are NOT allowed to protect the penguins. Overall very fulfilling day. Our guide Troy was very helpful too. highly recommend ,oh and we c WILD wallaby, echidna, and snake as well!!!

La millor experiència que vaig tenir a Austràlia! Moltes gràcies al nostre guia, Pete, que va ser increïblement entusiasta i servicial durant tot el viatge. Ens va fer molts vídeos i fotos i ens va donar grans introduccions al llarg del camí. Vam gaudir molt de l'experiència i agraïm de veritat tot el seu esforç!

La visita al ferrocarril Puffing Billy va ser realment una experiència meravellosa i memorable. A la meva família li encanta el viatge panoràmic en tren a través de les belles Dandenong Ranges, que oferia vistes impressionants de boscos exuberants i encantadors paisatges rurals. És una visita obligada anar al ferrocarril Puffing Billy quan estigueu a Melbourne. Una atracció única que combina història, natura i diversió.

Views are beautiful! We saw wild penguins and kangaroos. I had an amazing time on this tour, and our guide, Jared, was absolutely outstanding! He is remarkably professional and has an incredible depth of knowledge about Australian history. Throughout the trip, I asked him so many questions, and he answered every single one effortlessly—even backing up his explanations with fascinating data and facts. Jared was also incredibly polite and thoughtful. When it came to watching the penguins, he shared some fantastic tips and strategies that helped us get the best experience possible. Even though it was a long 14-hour day, it felt completely engaging and fulfilling from start to finish. I learned so much from Jared today. I highly recommend taking a tour with him!

Great value for money! We went to 5 different locations because the weather was nice. First were the bathing boxes at Brighton Beach (wish we had more time to go around though), then the Puffing Billy which is a fun experience when traveling with kids. After lunch, we went to Maru Koala and Animal Park which was a big surprise because we enjoyed it a lot. Lastly, we went to The Nobbies and the Penguin Parade in Phillip Island. Our bus driver and tour guide, Curtis, was very good, helpful and accommodating. Overall, would recommend this tour here in Klook!

The Puffing Billy train ride was a lovely experience! The scenery was so relaxing, and time just flew by. The coffee at Lakeside was great too! The lake itself was just okay, and we didn’t have enough time to walk around it. Still, enjoying a meal outdoors with family was wonderful!

It was an amazing experience. The rainforest section was really fun, and the steam‑train ride was absolutely unique. Our guide Alan was fantastic. He took photos for everyone in the group throughout the trip. What a wonderful excursion!

Un dels millors tours que he fet. Luke era el conductor i el guia turístic. Tenia un gran coneixement i era fantàstic. M'agradaria haver tingut uns quants dies més a Melbourne per reservar Luke per a un altre tour. El tour (itinerari) en si mateix va ser increïble i Luke el va fer encara més memorable. Sens dubte, explicaré als meus amics i familiars com de fantàstica va ser l'experiència. Vam començar al Moonlit Sanctuary i vam alimentar ualabis/cangurs. El més destacat va ser veure el ualabi salvatge mentre conduíem cap als pingüins. La millor part va ser veure els petits pingüins sortir de la platja i caminar fins a l'herba. La botiga de regals també era fantàstica. Va ser un dia assolellat però definitivament ventós. La botiga de regals tenia jerseis brodats i jaquetes amb cremallera, així com mantes per comprar. M'encanta la desfilada dels pingüins. Moltes gràcies a Luke per fer-ho tan divertit també. Vam escoltar la seva llista de reproducció i ell va cantar.
