Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island Penguin Island Day Trip
Guest User2026-03-11
This group tour of the Melbourne Steam Train and Phillip Island was fantastic! The itinerary was well-planned and smooth. The Puffing Billy Steam Train was both retro and soothing, winding through the Dandenong Ranges with picturesque scenery. The open-top carriages were incredibly comfortable, perfect for taking amazing photos. The Chinese-speaking guide was professional and enthusiastic, providing engaging commentary and attentive guidance throughout the journey. We didn't have to worry about transportation or tickets, making it a relaxed and worry-free experience. The evening penguin parade on Phillip Island was adorable; the sight of the little blue penguins waddling home was heartwarming. The atmosphere was orderly, and the guide even reminded us of important information beforehand. The driver and guide were reliable, the pace was relaxed, and the whole day was fulfilling and unforgettable. It's a must-do classic tour in Melbourne, highly recommended!

Since it was a small group, the driver arrived at the hotel on time for pick-up and drop-off. The experience was great with fewer people. The steam train was coal-fired, and the smoke was a bit dirty; I was covered in fine coal dust on the way back, so try not to open your mouth when facing the wind. The penguins were adorable, and you could see them up close from the boardwalk. The starry sky was also beautiful. We had already seen the zoo in Brisbane, so we didn't go again. One hour seemed a bit rushed for the zoo. Kudos to our driver/guide, Banban; he drove very smoothly and also shared some sightseeing tips.

It was a fantastic trip! We set off at 8 AM to catch the earliest little train. The cool, refreshing morning air and the steam from the train were so pleasant. The staff were incredibly helpful, waving goodbye as the train pulled away. We saw many residents and tourists along the way, and everyone greeted us warmly – it was so much fun! Then we went to the zoo and a chocolate factory. The driver kept giving us tips on how to have fun and eat the most cost-effective things. We then visited a beautiful island, and finally, we went to Penguin Island. There weren't many penguins that day, but we still saw a few up close. We didn't get back to the city until after 11 AM. The trip was quite long, and the driver was the most tired, as he had to drop us off and then drive home himself. I highly recommend this tour! Small car transportation, fewer people, and comfortable.
Reviews: Phillip Island: Penguin Parade and Multi Attraction Pass

We really enjoyed all three attractions Churchill Island was very interactive and all the demonstrations were very enjoyable. we managed to find all the Koalas at the Conservation centre and we were lucky that two Koalas were awake and eating. The penguin parade was good, unfortunately there weren't many penguins coming ashore on the night we were there but we were told it was common this time of year.
Reviews: Melbourne Phillip Island Half-Day Tour [Noon Departure | Designated Pick-Up | Premium Penguin Island Group]
Guest User2025-12-24
We took a half-day trip to Phillip Island, passing through Nobbs Point Centre and Nature Park. We even encountered baby penguins sunbathing. To get a closer look at the penguins returning to their nests, we specifically chose the "Premium Viewing Platform" and saw the world's smallest penguins, unique to Melbourne (30-35 cm tall). They were so cute! Our driver and guide, Chris, although he had a full head of white hair, was full of energy and introduced the local customs and attractions along the way. He was very professional.
