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!

This trip was brilliant and such a good combination of things to do in one trip. A great atmosphere with the group and the tour guide Lisa was amazing and so informative. She made me feel so comfortable with doing it as a solo trip and got to know everyone as best she could in the time. The sanctuary and penguin parade were a great experience and I would recommend to anyone. The view points were breathtaking and you got to see animals in their wild habitats. 10/10 experience.

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.

Here we had another tour guide who was clearly passionate about his job and who looked after all the participants with wit and charm, ensuring we all had a memorable day. I hadn't had such an excellent guided tour in a long time.
Reviews: Melbourne Phillip Island Half-Day Tour [Noon Departure | Designated Pick-Up | Premium Penguin Island Group]

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.
