Enjoy two iconic Victorian experiences in one unforgettable day. Begin your journey with a scenic ride onboard the Puffing Billy steam train, travelling from Belgrave to Emerald through the lush forests of the Dandenong Ranges. At Emerald Lake, take a peaceful stroll and grab lunch (own expense) at a local café.
The adventure continues to Phillip Island, where you’ll stop at The Nobbies Lookout for breathtaking coastal views and learn about the area’s blowhole and seal colony. Walk the boardwalks, breathe in the salty ocean air, and take in the views of Seal Rocks.
As dusk falls, head to Summerland Beach for the magical Penguin Parade. Watch in awe as the world’s smallest penguins emerge from the sea and waddle home. Dinner is available for purchase onsite while you wait for the show to begin.
Return to Melbourne with a heart full of wildlife memories and scenic moments you’ll never forget.
Please note: Train departure times and operating sections may vary. Final details will be confirmed on the day of travel.
