Puffing Billy and Phillip Island Day Tour(Melbourne Chinese Tour)

About this activity

The Puffing Billy Railway and Phillip Penguin Island day tour is a very popular tour combination in Victoria, Australia. First, visitors can experience the Puffing Billy Railway, a historic steam train that offers a fascinating journey through the Dandenong Ranges. Train travel not only provides a unique nostalgic experience, but also allows you to enjoy the natural beauty and historical sites along the way. Next, visitors will head to Phillip Island, famous for its Penguin Parade. Every evening, the little blue penguins return from the sea to their nests on the island.

This is the most spectacular moment of the day. Visitors can watch these little penguins staggering back to the shore on the observation deck of Phillip Island Nature Park. This is a warm and magical scene.
