Embark on a relaxing day trip from Melbourne and uncover the beauty of the Dandenong Ranges. Begin with a visit to Grants Picnic Ground, where you can enjoy a short rainforest walk and encounter colourful native birds in their natural habitat.
Board the Puffing Billy steam train at Belgrave and enjoy a scenic ride through lush forests and across wooden bridges—an iconic experience loved by all ages.
At Lakeside Station, stretch your legs, enjoy a lakeside lunch (own expense), and explore steam-era exhibits and displays before returning to Melbourne.
Please note: Puffing Billy may occasionally operate in reverse direction.
We really enjoyed the day out Mark was a great guide, very friendly and made sure we got a good position on the train.
Puffing Billy is such a fun experience – definitely not to be missed! The whole trip takes about half a day, which means you still have time to enjoy the rest of Melbourne afterward. But let’s talk about Puffing Billy – you get to dangle your legs out of the carriage and enjoy every single “puff” during the hour-long ride. Beyond the charm of the vintage train itself, the scenery you pass through is absolutely beautiful. A perfect mix of nostalgia, nature, and joy!
The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly! It was a beautiful experienced and highly recommended👍
