Vyhliadková túra Puffing Billy a Healesville Sanctuary

Návšteva železnice Puffing Billy bola skutočne úžasným a nezabudnuteľným zážitkom. Moja rodina si zamilovala scénickú jazdu vlakom cez nádherné pohorie Dandenong Ranges, ktorá ponúkala úchvatné výhľady na svieže lesy a pôvabnú vidiecku krajinu. Železnica Puffing Billy je povinnou zastávkou, keď ste v Melbourne. Jedinečná atrakcia, ktorá spája históriu, prírodu a zábavu.

Had a wonderful day out with WineHop Tours. Our guide/driver LORRAINE was amazing and lively. Puffing Billy was a real unique experience. And a must for all visitors to Melbourne! We had a quick lunch at Lakeside Station. Healesville Sanctuary was awesome. Lorraine informed us that only Aussie animals reside in this sanctuary. And recommended the platymus keeper talk at 2pm and the Flight (bird) show at 3pm. The latter was super amazing and not to be missed!!! Spot the Tasmania devil and echidna!! The chocolaterie was a little crowded (Saturday) but served delicious ice cream! All kinds of yummy chocolate there. And great scenery too!

Sprievodca, alias vodič, bol mimoriadne profesionálny! Počas celej cesty poskytoval vysvetlenia v reálnom čase o ekológii a histórii oblastí, ktorými sme prechádzali. Vždy, keď sme narazili na divokú zver, okamžite nás upozornil, aby sme nepremeškali šancu ich vidieť. Naozaj ste cítili jeho pozornosť a ohľaduplnosť v každom detaile. Nebolo to prvýkrát, čo som sa zúčastnil zájazdu na železnicu Puffing Billy, ale určite to bol môj najobľúbenejší. Určite odporučím tento zážitok svojim priateľom, keď nás nabudúce navštívia.

I really love this tour! Matty was really friendly and made us feel welcomed. He gave good commentaries and feedback on what is good and not. He is very patient and was very clear with his instructions. Pick up was on time and it took under an hour to reach Puffing Billy train station. There was enough time to shop, buy food and take pictures and walk around before and after the train trip. Journey to Healesville Sanctuary took about 40 mins. Over there, we were given around 2-3 hours to walk around, have lunch and watch aeriel show at 3pm before we left for the Yarra Chocolate place, which took around 10 mins. At the chocolate place, we were given around 45mins to shop and check out the scenery. The trip back to CBD took about under an hour. A very relaxing tour with more than enough time for us to look around and take pictures. Thank you, Matty for being the best guide for that day!

It was easy to find the pick up point. Just across Windsor Hotel at Parliament station. We had a fully packed bus. The bus was clean but a little tight on the legs. I’m shorter than 1.6m and do find it cramped. If u are of bigger build, maybe uncomfortable. Just bring a small bag coz there is no extra room for you to put your belongings. Other than that, the tour was amazing. Managed to catch a glimpse of Koala, Tasmanian Devil, Emu and other Australian animals. The ice cream at Yarra Chocolate Factory was fantastic! We had enough time to sit down for lunch at the cafe. Puffing Billy ride was so amazingly fun! Residents waved at us when we went pass their homes. We had such a memorable day!

the tour guide was very friendly and accommodating! played great music on the bus during our travels. this tour is mostly bringing us to the destinations, not really a guided tour, which is my cup of tea as i like to have some time to roam around at each destination :) the tour guide gave interesting information about each place before we arrive as well. the puffing billy is a must try! great view of the dandenong ranges and sitting on the stills of the train was a unique experience. healesville sanctuary houses native australian species with very friendly and knowledgeable keepers, highly recommended! was very lucky to visit during the breeding season and saw the koalas moving on the ground. the last stop at the chocolate factory was a nice finish to end the day.

希斯維爾野生動物保護區可以看到樹熊，還有其他澳洲品種動物，感覺有趣.。普芬比利蒸氣小火車很有新鮮感，雙脚可以放在車外感覺輕鬆自在。巧克力工廠令人垂涎欲滴，回味無窮。另外不能不提的是我們的導遊兼司機叔叔，雖然忘記了他的名字，但他的工作態度、和藹的笑容是不容易忘記的。

Bavilo ma to viac, ako som si predstavoval! Spočiatku som váhal, či sa zúčastním jednodňovej prehliadky kvôli vysokej cene, ale myslel som si, že táto prehliadka je výhodná, pretože zahŕňa aj vstupné do zoologickej záhrady Victoria (zvyčajne 56 AUD). V zoologickej záhrade Victoria som mohol zblízka vidieť vzácne zvieratá ako koaly, klokany a vombaty. Hoci som sa zvierat nemohol dotknúť, vtáčia šou o 15:00 bola pôsobivá. Ak si sadnete k pravému oknu v parnom vlaku, môžete urobiť krásne fotografie na moste, ktorý je viditeľný hneď po odchode vlaku. Bolo skvelé, že sprievodca pre nás natočil video zdola. Cesta z Belgrave do Lake Side trvá asi hodinu. Z autobusu počas presunu je tiež vidieť bohatú prírodu, takže táto prehliadka je odporúčaná pre tých, ktorí si chcú užiť austrálsku prírodu.

our tour Guide David was great! he gave lots of information not only about the place we are going to but also about Melbourne itself. He also helped me and parents take a good photo so that was a plus! the train is must try even for one, you’ll also get to enjoy waving with the locals as they are all so friendly! the sanctuary was also enjoyable since it was a first for us to see koalas☺️

It was an amazing experience. Puffing Billy was an awesome ride to do. One of a kind. Simon, our tourguide cracks jokes all the time. Funny and nice man.❤️
