Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Puffing Billy Railway

KAILANGAN SUBUKAN! Sa halip na sa Belgrave, lumisan kami mula sa Lakeside at huminto sa Gembrook. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang aking napapalagpas sa Belgrave ngunit lubos akong nagpapasalamat na pinili ko ang Lakeside. Madali ang pag-drive papunta doon, napakaraming espasyo para sa paradahan, maganda ang istasyon na may kasamang cafe at maliit na museo, at sa pamamagitan lamang ng paglakad o maikling biyahe ay makakarating ka na sa lugar ng Lawa para mamasyal. Ang Gembrook ay isang napakagandang maliit na bayan din! Naglakad-lakad kami at tumuloy sa isang cafe na tinatawag na Gracie's at kumain ng mga scone at uminom ng mainit na inumin bago kami sumakay pabalik sa tren patungong Lakeside. Lubos kong nasiyahan ang biyaheng ito dahil napakatahimik nito. Lubos kong inirerekomenda na subukan mo rin ang parehong ruta!

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!!!

The best experience had in Australia! Many thanks to our guide, Pete, who was incredibly enthusiastic and helpful throughout the trip. He took lots of videos and photos for us and gave us great introductions along the way. We really enjoyed the experience and truly appreciate all his effort!

Ang pagbisita sa Puffing Billy Railway ay tunay na isang kahanga-hanga at di malilimutang karanasan. Gustung-gusto ng aking pamilya ang magandang biyahe sa tren sa pamamagitan ng Dandenong Ranges na nag-aalok ng nakamamanghang tanawin ng luntiang kagubatan at kaakit-akit na tanawin ng kanayunan. Kailangan talagang bisitahin ang Puffing Billy Railway kapag nasa Melbourne ka. Isang natatanging atraksyon na pinagsasama ang kasaysayan, kalikasan, at kasiyahan.

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!

Dumating ako sa lugar bandang 9:47 ng umaga at walang tao, kaya medyo kinabahan ako na baka hindi ko makuha ang tamang lokasyon ng pick-up. Sana ay may kasamang larawan ng pick-up point sa email. Bukod doon, ito ang pinakamagandang tour na naranasan ko. Ayos lang ang biyahe sa tren. Magandang karanasan para sa isang first-time na turista sa Australia, lalo na't wala kaming gumaganang steam train sa aming bansa. Sana ay mas marami kaming oras sa gift shop sa Puffing Billy. Umulan habang papunta kami sa Philip Island. Napakalamig kaya mabilis kaming umalis ng nanay ko sa viewing area pagkatapos makakita ng ilang penguin. Bawal ang pagkuha ng video at litrato. Bawal din ang payong o ang pagtayo. Mahigpit sila doon upang hindi namin matakot ang mga penguin sa kanilang tirahan. Ang aming gabay na si Simon ang pinakamahusay. Pinanatili niya kaming lahat na naaaliw at nakikipag-ugnayan sa amin, sinisigurado na maayos ang lahat.
