** Check inclusions** Discover the magic of a Private Puffing Billy and Phillip Island Day tour from Melbourne, blending historic charm with unforgettable wildlife encounters. Start aboard Australia’s oldest steam train, Puffing Billy Railway (since 1900). Ride open-sided carriages through lush Dandenong Ranges rainforests from Belgrave, past towering mountain ash, fern gullies, and historic bridges amid enchanting eucalyptus scents. Guides share its 1950s revival story. Continue through serene Dandenong Ranges home to lyrebirds and wallabies to stunning Phillip Island, famed for history, beauty, and wildlife. At Maru Koala and Animal Park, hand-feed kangaroos, cuddle koalas, and meet wombats and dingoes up close. Visit Churchill Island Heritage Farm to admire striking Highland cows and pioneer history in scenic surrounds. Enjoy chocolate treats at Phillip Island Chocolate Factory, then relax in coastal Cowes. Take in ocean views and seals at The Nobbies Centre boardwalk. End with the iconic Phillip Island Nature Parks Penguin Parade at Summerland Beach: watch little penguins waddle ashore at sunset, with ranger conservation insights. This private tour delivers scenic rides, intimate wildlife interactions, and natural wonders for a truly memorable Australian day.
