Description

Embark on an enchanting afternoon and evening nature tour from Melbourne. Ride the Puffing Billy steam train through the Dandenong Ranges, walk along The Nobbies boardwalks, and see adorable penguins on Phillip Island. Start your journey through the verdant Dandenong Ranges aboard the iconic Puffing Billy steam train. Marvel at the lush landscapes and historic locomotive as it winds its way from Belgrave to Lakeside (or reverse) during an hour-long trip. At The Nobbies, enjoy panoramic coastal vistas of Bass Strait from the clifftop boardwalks and witness the awe-inspiring blowhole. As twilight descends, be captivated by the spectacle of little penguins returning to their burrows on Phillip Island, an all-year-round penguin-watching experience. Watch as they dart across the sand to their nests, or observe their charming interactions, from greetings to nesting and chick-rearing. Throughout your wildlife odyssey, keep an eye out for other native wildlife such as swamp wallabies, Eastern barred bandicoots, Cape Barren geese, and short-tailed shearwaters. This exceptional experience immerses you in the wonders of nature and wildlife, making memories that will last a lifetime.
