Puffing Billy & Phillip Island Penguin Parade: Bus & Train Tour from Melbourne
About this experience
Start from a central Melbourne CBD location in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and travel to the Dandenong Ranges.
At Emerald Lake, take a walk around the lake and purchase lunch at your own expense. Then board the Puffing Billy steam train from Emerald to Belgrave and travel through the Dandenong Ranges.
Continue to the Nobbies Tourist Information Centre to learn about the Nobbies Blowhole and Seal Rock precinct. At the Nobbies Lookout, take in the views, then follow the boardwalk along the coast to the Blowhole and Seal Rock.
At Phillip Island, purchase dinner at the venue before watching the Penguin Parade. See the penguins emerge from the waves, cross the sand, and return to their burrows.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
