Overview

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.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
