Start your adventure with a pick-up in Melbourne and make your way to Brighton Beach, home to vibrant rainbow huts (this stop may be skipped based on train timings).
Then board the Puffing Billy Steam Train to experience the stunning scenery of the Dandenong Ranges.
Following the train ride, you can opt to visit the Maru Koala and Animal Park for close-up encounters with Australia’s unique wildlife (additional cost applies, and based on train timings).
Next, head to The Nobbies Viewpoint to take in the breathtaking coastal views from the observation platform.
Dinner options will be available at either the Nobbies Center or in Cowes (meal costs not included). As the sun sets, be captivated by the sight of little penguins returning from the sea and making their way across the beach to their nests.
