Puffing Billy and the Dandenongs via fast ferry across the bay

Thursday 28 July – One Day Group Tour

Port Phillip Ferries is excited to be working in partnership with Tour Local, a family-owned, family-operated Tour Company based just outside of Melbourne. Take the fast ferry from either Geelong or Portarlington and start your day with a boat cruise across Port Phillip Bay taking in the amazing scenery and sealife out on the water.

When you arrive in Docklands, your tour bus and tour guide will be waiting to take you on your next adventure up the hill, into the charming villages of the Dandenong Ranges, taking a ride on the now-famous Puffing Billy Steam Train.
