Step back in time on this half-day adventure aboard the Puffing Billy steam train, one of Australia’s most treasured heritage experiences. Departing from Belgrave Station, you’ll wind your way through towering mountain ash trees and fern gullies in the scenic Dandenong Ranges.
The journey takes you to Lakeside Station, where you’ll have time to explore the area’s natural beauty and the modern Lakeside Visitor Centre. Here, you can enjoy lakeside views, browse interactive exhibits, and learn about the railway’s history as a former goods line turned iconic passenger route.
This relaxing morning tour is perfect for travelers with limited time who still want a dose of nature, history, and nostalgia. You’ll return to Melbourne by early afternoon, leaving you time to relax or continue exploring with an optional afternoon tour.
Please note: Train departure times and operating sections may vary. Final details will be confirmed on the day of travel.
Big thank you to our guide Jono! Jono was very friendly, attentive, and shared with us lots of interesting stories. Thanks for capturing precious moment for us on the train. Puffing Billy was such a big fun! Beautiful scenes on the way. Great for those who don’t drive. Back at the city at around 1:30pm so still lots of time to explore the city in the afternoon. Worth going!
Michael our driver / Guide was excellent! He took photos and videos of us on the train as it travelled and share them with the group. If in Melbourne it’s a must do trip / adventure.
First time booking a tour, wasn’t sure what to expect but I’m glad I chose this tour. 🙂 Very friendly, humorous, and knowledgeable guides.
Lisa is such an amazing person, she made the experience so wonderful! I’d definitely do this again when i’m back in Melbourne
Everything was perfect and the guide, Lisa, made it better. Thank you Abdulla
