Experience an unforgettable day tour from Melbourne that blends scenic beauty, history, and wildlife in one enchanting journey.

Begin your adventure aboard the iconic Puffing Billy Steam Train, gliding through the lush rainforests and rolling hills of the Dandenong Ranges. Feel the nostalgia of a bygone era as the century-old locomotive winds its way between Belgrave and Lakeside, offering breathtaking views and a truly unique travel experience.

Continue your journey to Phillip Island, pausing at The Nobbies to stroll along the spectacular clifftop boardwalks. Take in panoramic views of Bass Strait and witness the dramatic blowhole — a natural wonder shaped by wind and waves.

As twilight descends, witness one of nature’s most heartwarming spectacles: the world-famous Penguin Parade. Watch as little penguins waddle ashore at Summerlands Beach, returning to their burrows after a day at sea. Observe their endearing interactions — from greeting one another to tending their nests — in a magical, once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

Throughout your journey, you may also spot native wildlife such as swamp wallabies, Cape Barren geese, Eastern barred bandicoots, and short-tailed shearwaters, adding to the richness of this immersive nature experience.

With its perfect balance of scenic discovery and unforgettable wildlife encounters, this Yuu Tours day trip promises memories that will stay with you long after the journey ends.
