5.00The Puffing Billy ride through the forest for an hour was great. Even the weather was very cold and raining but we all enjoyed on board.
Wonderful experience

5.00Great tour. The route is perfectly planned, all locations have enough time to inspect, visit toilets, souvenir shops, etc. The group is small (up to 20 people), moving clearly on schedule without delay. Guide Evan takes the utmost care for every tourist, tries to help and prompt details. I don't speak very good English, but I was clear in the guide's speech, both all the organizational and all the information about the locations. The route is full, bringing many positive emotions from each location - stunning views, contact animals, penguins. All tickets (train, penguins) are already included in the price; the wildlife park is purchased separately if you wish, but you must go there. In terms of price, it is also one of the best options on the market. Given the lack of Russian-speaking guides, this is probably the best offer for a Russian tourist (as well as tourists from other countries). Thank you and wish the company further development.

The Puffing Billy train surpassed all my expectations, the scenery was so beautiful and it was great fun sat on the train with your legs dangling on the outside. Loved Philip Island too, it was so beautiful and we did see some penguins. Ricky our tour guide was amazing, he was very knowledgeable, gave some great advice and also made us laugh.
