Starting from Melbourne, first go to the Dandenong Ranges to take the Puffing Billy Railway, one of the oldest steam trains in Australia. Take the train here and travel through the lush green Dandenong Ranges.
Take a bus to MARU Wildlife Park (self-funded: Adult $30/Child $16) to see kangaroos, koalas, emus and other Australian animals. You can also feed kangaroos and parrots, observe the daily life of koalas, and see the endangered Tasmanian devil. (This self-funded trip, if you miss the train due to delays, there will be no fees and no refunds.)
"Summer Time Limited Event" The Nobbies Point Center overlooks the spectacular Bass Strait and has the opportunity to encounter wild seals. (This free event is subject to the itinerary of the day. If you are unable to visit due to time arrangements, this free event will not be charged and there will be no refund.)
Finally, go to Penguin Island to watch the penguins return to their nests. Penguin Parade, the Penguin Island Natural Ecological Reserve, is currently the world's largest wild penguin protection base. There are more than 30,000 penguins living on Phillip Island. It has the world's smallest fairy penguins, which are about 30 to 40 cm tall and weigh only about 1 kg. After the sun sets, they swim back to the shore from the sea and line up to walk back to their nests. This magnificent migration is called the Penguin Parade! Under the guidance of management personnel, you and tourists from all over the world will sit in the open-air viewing platform built along the coast in turn, waiting for the penguins to return to their nests.
You can choose to upgrade the stands:
Penguins Plus & Penguin Parade Underground Viewing
Approximately 8:00-10:00 am (2 hours later during daylight saving time)
We will inform you of the meeting time, location and other detailed information via text message the evening before, so please keep your phone open.
Please make sure you are at the meeting point 5-10 minutes before your scheduled pick up time to ensure an on-time departure.
Our tours are suitable for all ages, whether you are a family, couple or traveling alone, we can provide you with a pleasant travel experience. However, for the elderly and children, it is recommended to be accompanied by a family member.
If there is a seat available, get on board! Tickets for the steam train are in high demand and we recommend that you book at least a week in advance to ensure there are enough seats. This is especially important during peak travel seasons (such as school holidays and public holidays).
As guests come from all over the world and have different tastes, we will arrange dining spots during the itinerary, but meals are at your own expense.
In case of bad weather, we will try to adjust the itinerary to ensure your safety and travel experience. If we encounter extreme weather conditions, we may cancel the tour and refund the full amount, or reschedule your trip to a suitable travel date.
The group needs to go to the designated location (Boxhill or Chinatown) to gather. If you need door-to-door pick-up, it is recommended to join a small group of 12 people.
Cancellation Policy:
Please note that all cancellation or rescheduling requests must be submitted through our Customer Service Department. We will do our best to assist you with all requests to ensure your travel goes smoothly.
