Departing from Melbourne, step aboard Puffing Billy for a nostalgic steam train ride through the Dandenong Ranges, past trestle bridges and lush forests.
Step aboard Puffing Billy and take your group on a journey through time and nature on one of Australia’s most iconic heritage railways. Departing from Melbourne in the morning you’ll head to Belgrave and glide through the breathtaking Dandenong Ranges in open-sided carriages. Breathe in the scent of eucalyptus and let the rhythm of the steam engine set the pace for a truly memorable day. Cross historic trestle bridges, marvel at lush fern gullies, and soak up the scenery with your crew, it’s the kind of shared adventure that turns into a treasured story.
Your destination is Lakeside, nestled beside the serene Emerald Lake Park. Here, you can explore tranquil walking trails, grab a bite at the Lakeside Visitor Centre, and dive into the rich history of the railway through engaging exhibits. Discover how this beloved steam train evolved from a humble goods line into a cherished part of Victoria’s cultural heritage. Before heading back to Melbourne for an approximate 1:30pm arrival.
This experience is approximately 6.5 hours in duration.
Maximum number of 24 guests.
If the weather forecast is poor, it is recommended that guests bring their own jackets and/or umbrellas.

We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
