Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train & Phillip Island Penguin Parade one-day tour

If you have some free time in Melbourne, I recommend this itinerary 🌿
Start your healing journey by taking a train and viewing the vast fields 🌳 What I remember most about Maru Zoo is how the koalas sleep all day, and how the kangaroos lie down next to people... 🐨🦘
Finally, end your healing journey with a visit to Phillip Island, where you'll see penguins and their adorableness 🐧

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 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.

Reviews: [Summer limited time offer] Australia Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island one-day tour

The steam train and penguin day trip was very well-organized, with visits to the town and other scenic spots interspersed throughout. The Nobbles boardwalk on Phillip Island was beautiful, and we saw a few penguins beforehand. In the evening, we saw even more penguins on the viewing platform and boardwalk, which exceeded our expectations. We thought we would be lucky to see a few, but Phillip Island was truly teeming with penguins at night, making it a very interesting experience.

At first, I was a little worried because the tour was in Chinese, but our guide, Carter, kindly explained things in English, so I was able to complete the tour without any problems. Please note that you'll need to bring cash for zoo admission. Also, for the Puffing Billy train, sit on the left side of the train for a better view.

Nathan is a really good guide, he gave the tour the correct energy, not too much and definitely not too less. Good explanation of the history and about the tour while keeping to the time.
