Description:

Ride the Puffing Billy Railway and visit Healesville Sanctuary on this full-day adventure from Melbourne. This small-group tour ensures a personalized time with your guide as you explore the lush environments of the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley.

On your ride from Melbourne, pass the lush vineyards and stunning skylines of the Yarra Valley before reaching the Healesville Sanctuary. Upon arrival, get up close with all your favorite Aussie animals in 74 acres (30 ha) of natural bush setting. Don't forget to take out your camera and snap pictures of iconic wildlife like kangaroos, platypuses, emus, dingoes, and Tasmanian devils.

Next, head to Belgrave, home to the Puffing Billy Railway. On this 1-hour steam train ride, see the gorgeous forest, cross bridges, and pass quaint villages, all on this restored narrow-gauge railway that's more than 100 years old. If you look closely, you can admire the stunning Port Phillip Bay in the distance.

Afterward, make your way to Dandenong Ranges National Park and immerse yourself in a wonderland of Mountain-ash trees and giant tree ferns. Follow the forest trail and look out for wildlife like kookaburras, rosellas, and lyrebirds. After a full day of rainforests and railways, your transfer takes you back to Melbourne.
