Our guide Troy was great very knowledgeable. Very enjoyable visit to Healesville and Puffing Billy even though it was a bit wet at times. Managed to sit on the edge of the train before it started raining. Great place to visit.

This was a great day trip to an animal sanctuary and included the scenic train ride. We went to the animal sanctuary first where you can walk around at your leisure to look at the animals that you want we had a couple of hours there and I think this was enough time to see almost all the animals and the Bird show. I saw kangaroos, koalas and lots of other animals including reptiles and Birds. We then drive to the scenic train where we were able to sit with our legs hang outside the train which was very different and gave us a great view of the Dandenong ranges as we drove through them. We then had some free time after the train ride to walk round the local lake and get an ice cream. The tour guide Troy was great very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this tour

Highlights

Escape the city on this day tour from Melbourne: ride the Puffing Billy steam train through the forests of the Dandenong Ranges and meet Australian animals at Healesville Sanctuary. Enjoy about an hour on board from Belgrave to Lakeside, dangling your legs out of the carriage in time-honoured tradition as you take in the temperate rainforest. After the train ride, wander through Healesville Sanctuary to see koalas, kangaroos, soaring birds of prey and other iconic Australian animals up close. Return transport from Melbourne pickup points makes the day easy.


Program

Ride the Puffing Billy steam train
through the Dandenong Ranges

From your pickup point in central Melbourne, travel about an hour by bus to the Dandenong Ranges. Board the legendary Puffing Billy steam train and spend about an hour crossing lush temperate rainforest from Belgrave to Lakeside, enjoying scenic views along the way.

Sit with your legs dangling out of the carriage as tradition dictates, and feel the steam engine's smoke and the fresh forest air. The tour is led by an English-speaking guide, and an audio guide in several languages, including Korean and Japanese, is included.

 

Take a break at the Puffing Billy Visitor Centre

After the train ride, take about an hour's break at the Puffing Billy Railway Visitor Centre. Meals and drinks are not included, so purchase them separately if needed.

 

Meet Australian animals at Healesville Sanctuary

A 45-minute bus ride brings you to Healesville Sanctuary, where you'll spend about 2 hours exploring. Get up close to some of Australia's best-loved animals, including koalas, kangaroos and soaring birds of prey.

Afterwards, it's about a 1.5-hour bus ride back to the drop-off points in central Melbourne.
