Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Penguin Island Day Tour [Visit two popular attractions in one day]
Guest User2025-08-18
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.★

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!★

Reviews: [Optional Popular Wooden Bridge] Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island Penguin Island Day Trip
Guest User2026-03-31
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: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train & Phillip Island Penguin Parade one-day tour
Guest User2026-01-28
There were around 20 people on the tour, including Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Westerners, and other Asians. There were many rest stops along the way, and if you got hungry, there were places to buy snacks or KFC, so we had plenty of fun on the bus. ☺︎ Of course, the tourist spots were also very beautiful, so I didn't feel pressed for time.★

Reviews: Phillip Island Penguin Parade & Puffing Billy Railway Day Tour [Round-Trip from City]
Guest User2025-11-02
Visiting two popular tourist attractions in one day is great value. The starting point is easy to find. When watching penguins at night, wear extra layers, or you might get blown away by the wind.
