Escape the city for a day of steam trains, seaside views, and the world's cutest penguins on this full-day combo adventure. Starting off with a scenic ride on the iconic Puffing Billy steam train, winding through the lush forests and gullies of the Dandenong Ranges.

Next, journey to Phillip Island to explore its stunning coastline, strolling the boardwalks at The Nobbies while enjoying the fresh sea air and spotting local wildlife. As dusk settles, take your seat for the famous Penguin Parade, where hundreds of little penguins make their way up the beach after a day of fishing.
