Things to do in Healesville

I enjoyed it more than I imagined! At first, I was hesitant to join the day tour because of the high price, but I thought it was a good deal because this tour includes the admission fee to Victoria Zoo (usually 56 AUD). At Victoria Zoo, I was able to see rare animals such as koalas, kangaroos, and wombats up close. I couldn't touch the animals, but the 3:00 PM Bird show was worth seeing. If you sit on the right side of the steam train, you can take beautiful pictures at the bridge you see immediately after departure. It was nice that the guide took a video from below. It takes about an hour from Belgrave Station to Lake Side Station. You can see the scenery rich in nature from the bus during the journey, so I recommend this tour for people who want to enjoy the nature of Australia.

The tour was absolutely wonderful. There were only six of us in the group, and our guide Kurt was amazing — very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the Yarra Valley. During the drive, he shared lots of fun facts and interesting stories about the Yarra River, Yarra Valley, and even some cool Melbourne trivia, which made the journey really enjoyable. The schedule was well-paced, never rushed, and we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Kurt also took us to safely observe wild kangaroos and explained many fascinating things about them. It was such a pleasant, fun, and memorable experience — I’d highly recommend this tour (and especially Kurt!) to anyone visiting Melbourne.

This wasn’t my first time visiting Yarra Valley, but it was definitely the most fulfilling one! Even though I joined the tour solo, I was super lucky to meet a group of really friendly and fun people from all over the world. After a few rounds of wine, everyone quickly became friends and the vibe was just amazing🍷 Huge shoutout to our guide, Stefan (hope I spelled it right)! He was great from the very beginning, sharing lots of interesting info about Melbourne and even trying his best to help us spot kangaroos and wombats (sadly, no luck that day). You could really tell he cared about everyone, even during lunchtime. This was also the winery tour where I got to try the most wines ever—four wineries and around 20 tastings (if I remember correctly 😆). So much fun! The Tasmanian salmon I chose for lunch was also delicious. Highly recommend this tour! Whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, you’re guaranteed to have a great time.

this trip was amazing. we go with teepee tour. our guide, Matthew was cheerful person, talkative, and service mind. gave us plenty of interesting information about each stop along the way, explaining the history and background in an engaging way that was easy to follow.

easy to find the meet up point and it was a fantastic trip. Driver/tour leader is a very fun person, Rod is the man. more importantly, the cellar door picked is very much on point and diverse in a good way. don’t miss Payten and Jones! the trip was made better by having a group of mate from different continental but all very friendly and easy to mingle.

Lisa was such a charming tour guide and very considerate of our needs. I really enjoyed the tour and we were given ample time to enjoy the stops. I had a nice time at the tour!

plan it on a sunny day and the enjoyment would be double. This tour give you option to decide where you want to decide, which you need too reserve direct with the cellar door. links are all provided in their info site. technically can do 4 stops. Aaron the tour leader is very cheerful and helpful which makes the road trip more enjoyable!

One of the perks of skiing around noon is the strong sun, so it's not cold at all. However, be careful of car sickness on the mountain road to the ski resort. The resort only offers sledding. The waterfall is small and exquisite, and the chocolate factory doesn't offer hands-on workshops. We chose a local day trip to visit more suburban attractions, and the kids had a great time!

We have a wonderful time exploring Yarra estate and Lake Mountain with Matthew. He is very knowledgeable, punctual and gives us good advices along the trip. Truly deserve a 5 stars recommendation!
