The trip started off with Nick, our driver, who was so welcoming and friendly and continued to be so for the whole of our 14 hour! trip. We were well looked after and guided the whole day. The itinerary was fairly good but would’ve been better to have incorporated a visit to something else such as a Wildlife Centre after leaving Puffing Billy because it felt a little flat in the middle. The trip to the “caves” wasn’t that interesting.

Enjoyed train ride and trip to see the penguins. However I was not expecting such a long day. Phillip Island, the home of the penguins is a two hour drive from Melbourne. Did not return till about 11.30pm. Did not see times when booking. Fortunately our cruise ship was in port overnight. Guide/driver was friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable. A great day out. Take a jumper – it’s cold after dark!

We loved this tour because it took the weight of our shoulders for travelling around by ourselves and packed so many memorable activities into 1 day. Our tour guide Nick was cheerful, relaxed and clearly loved his job and made the experience even better.

It’s worthy to book this tour. Our driver and tutor was so welcoming and gave us many great guidance. It’s almost a 12 hours tour. The view on the train is really nice and never have such experience to sit by the window. The penguins parade is also awesome. I will book this again next time!

We’re a group of four joining this tour for Puffying Billy train, the Nobbies and penguin parade on Phillips Island. The trip was an amazing experience. Our guide Kellie was knowledgable in wildlife and her fun jokes made this long trip very enjoyable. We really appreciate she’s been giving us great tips to see the penguins throughout. And she’s caring to offer extra drop off points on our way back as it’s nearly midnight by the time we returned to Melbourne. Definitely would recommend this tour to those who want to make the most within a day outside Melbourne.

Rafi our tour guide enhanced the scenic trip with timely insights, stories and experienced information that was not only easy to understand, find proper meeting locations, see points of interest but was also quite witty and entertaining. The transport portion is not the shortest but the views were great and we are glad we booked this experience.

Had a great day in Puffing Billy and Penguin Parade in Phillips Islands! The tour guide Raphy was funny and made the whole trip so much fun and enjoyable. The Puffing Billy steam train experience was unique and memorable and the Penguins in the Phillips Islands were adorable and lovely, not to mention the entire island was so pictureque. Definitely a must-go destitation in Melbourne!

Ben shared so much about his personal knowledge and history of the puffing billy! The puffing ride was enjoyable despite the warm weather, we got a glimpse into history and were glad to be part of it. The penguin experience, though magnificent, was overcrowded and commercialized, we much preferred our penguin viewing in NZ. Nonetheless, nothing to do with the tour. Ben, was patient and assisted our group (wheelchair), guided us and made sure we were comfortable. Thanks for sharing with us the best penguin spots. Our favourite.. was his jokes! 😂 Our only gripe though.. was the AC on the bus. Even at full blast, the air is warm and humid, made the ride from puffing to penguin island quite unbearable. Perhaps the vehicle is due for servicing?

Wow! What a fantastically fabulous day. Perfectly organised and executed and excellent value for money. Our tour guide Ben was very informative, happy and easygoing which was just what a long travelling day needs.
My absolute favourite part was when the penguins came out of the water and onto the beach and up to the sand dunes. Nature at its very best. Puffing Billy was awesome too with everyone hanging their legs out and a wonderful scenic trip to Lakeside. Thank you for such a awesome experience

Raffie – good tour guide from Wine Hop & Coastal Tours. If you travel from overseas and will not have mobile roaming or change to an Australian sim, update the tour provider since they will text you the night before via standard text message. The time departure can be later as the penguins are coming onto the beach later.

Raf was our guide. Tour start and end time shifted by a few hours due to the penguins and weather (no fault of the tour company). Both occurrences were communicated in advance.
Puffing Billy was a fun ride to see some Australian countryside/backyards/small towns. Raf gave a short talk about the history of Puffing Billy but nothing about the coal train/steam engine.
Watching penguins come out of the ocean was a bit of a zoo (crowded amphitheatre layout) and watching the penguins along the boardwalk was better. I would suggest starting with the boardwalk and then go to the amphitheatre after the crowd leaves (we still saw penguins come out of the ocean after the crowd left) and bring binoculars.

We were impressed with our friendly tour guide and driver. Raffie made us feel comfortable as a group of like adventurers no matter where we originated from. We were like a band of close friends when we departed at the end of the experience. We had been celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with a week in Melbourne and your tour was something we will remember with a smile, the train trip with arms and legs hanging out the carriages and the tiny penguin’s antics were fabulous,. Again thank you for the day. Bob and Marilyn
