An awesome experience on the Puffing Billy Steam Train & Phillip Island Penguin Parade One-Day Tour! The scenic steam train ride was charming and relaxing, and the visit to Maru Koala & Animal Park was a true highlight—getting up close and even touching the koalas and kangaroos was unforgettable. Ending the day with the magical Penguin Parade made the entire tour absolutely fantastic!

Since it was a small group, the driver picked us up at the hotel on time. The small crowds made the experience very good. The steam train burned coal, and the smoke was a bit dirty. I was covered in fine coal dust when I returned, so I tried not to open my mouth when facing the wind. The penguins were cute, and you could see them up close on the boardwalk. The starry sky was also beautiful. I had already seen the zoo in Brisbane, so I didn't go. I felt that an hour was a bit tight for the zoo. I would like to praise the driver and tour guide, Banban, for his steady driving and also for teaching us some sightseeing tips.

What a wonderful day trip! I booked three days in advance, checked with customer service and was told there were still tickets available for the mini-train, so I immediately placed the order. The driver/guide was super punctual, very humorous, and provided commentary throughout the trip. He drove very smoothly, and I didn't feel carsick at all. The itinerary was also very well planned. Luckily, my fellow travelers in the group were also punctual. We returned to the city around 11 pm. Overall, I highly recommend it!

The whole trip was amazing! The English guide spoke excellent English and patiently explained the penguin habits and the history of the train. The train journey through the sea of flowers was so relaxing, and the little penguins' wobbly walks upon arriving at the penguin colony were so adorable! The itinerary was well-planned and kept us on track. The staff were incredibly attentive and even provided hot drinks. Definitely recommend!

The train was ok, the Moonlight Zoo was very interesting, but the penguin show at the end was terrible. Too many tickets were sold, and I couldn't see many penguins at all. The experience was far inferior to Oamaru in New Zealand.
