Healesville Sanctuary and Yarra Valley Private Tour
Highlights
- Explore the stunning Yarra Valley, where you discover top wineries and savour some of Australia's finest wines.
- Encounter native wildlife up close at Healesville Sanctuary, enhancing your appreciation for Australia's unique fauna.
- Indulge in a delicious two-course lunch, featuring fresh local produce that showcases the region's culinary delights.
- Ride the historic Puffing Billy railway through the Dandenong Ranges, adding a touch of nostalgia to your adventure.
The amazing Yarra Valley is full of magnificent places to visit and wines to taste. With a private tour you can spend the time doing the things you really want to do. At just one hour’s drive from the city, the Yarra Valley is the place to experience food, wine, wildlife encounters and history.
Oceania Tours’ tour to the Yarra Valley will take you to the top wineries to taste some of the finest wines in Australia and to enjoy a delicious two course lunch.
On this special tour, they also include a visit to Healesville Sanctuary to encounter Australian wildlife at close hand. And for young visitors (and the young at heart), they highly recommend a ride on the historic Puffing Billy railway through the Dandenong Ranges.
However, although all of these items can be packaged into a day tour, it should be noted that a ride on Puffing Billy will take three hours and so careful planning will be necessary if you wish to include this in your itinerary. But above all, this is your tour and you decide how you want to spend the time and which items to be included.
Itinerary highlights
Healesville Sanctuary
On this special tour, Oceania Tours also include a visit to Healesville Sanctuary, a bushland haven for Australian wildlife where you can encounter kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, koalas, emus, reptiles and so many more animals close at hand in their natural habitat. There is also the opportunity to visit the Platypus Centre and view the Birds of Prey show.
Puffing Billy Railway
It is a highlight of the region for the young and the young at heart. Take a ride on the historic Puffing Billy railway through the Dandenong Ranges. This is an optional extra on your private tour so it should be noted that a ride on Puffing Billy will take three hours and may affect what else is possible on your day out.
