Q-Train, Transfers and Return Ferry
Available Monday, Thursday, Friday & Sunday
Enjoy stunning city and coastal views as you cruise along the Yarra River and across Port Phillip Bay to the charming seaside village of Portarlington. On arrival, you will be transferred (a short distance) to the departure point for The Q Train, Drysdale Railway Station (as featured on Masterchef). Please note: When booking your Q-Train ticket, be sure to select ‘Return Transport from The Bellarine’ to secure your bus transfers between the ferry terminal and Drysdale Railway Station.
When you arrive at Drysdale Station you’ll have time to enjoy a glass of bubbly and a photo on the red carpet. Onboard the heritage train, take your seat in one of the refurbished Q Class carriages and enjoy a delicious degustation lunch featuring local Bellarine produce. Then sit back and admire the gorgeous views as you ride the rails. On arrival back at Drysdale Train Station, you will be transported back to Portarlington in time to catch the return ferry to Docklands.
