Day Trip Details

On the morning of the tour, we will pick you up from the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne. From there, we'll head to our first destination, Belgrave railway station, where we'll hop on the famous Puffing Billy steam train.

Along the way, the train will make a stop along the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges. Then, we'll continue on our way and head back to the Puffing Billy train for a ride through the lush vegetation of the Dandenong Ranges.

After this train ride, the group will go to Healesville Sanctuary, a natural refuge home to a variety of species native to Australia, including kangaroos, koalas, platypuses, dingos, and emus.

Our final stop will be the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, where you'll get to sample some of the shop's specialties and enjoy free time to purchase sweets to take home.

At the end of the tour, we will return you to the meeting point in Melbourne, arriving after a total of around 9 hours.
