Looking for events & day trips from Portsea? Taxi Peninsula picks up from any address in Portsea in a wheelchair accessible taxi with a ramp or hoist, four-point wheelchair restraints and a driver trained to help you in and out safely.
Point Nepean Road ends at Portsea, so every trip in or out follows the same route through Sorrento, which slows considerably in summer and on long weekends. The Portsea Hotel and foreshore get crowded on warm afternoons, and kerbside space is tight. Inside Point Nepean National Park, roads and visitor areas have their own access arrangements, so we drop off and collect at the main visitor area unless you tell us otherwise. Mobile coverage can be patchy on the ocean side. There is no train service. Many holiday homes sit on private roads or behind gates and dense tea-tree, so please give the driver clear directions and a contact number in your booking.

Cos’altro chiedono le persone?
Can you pick us up after the game or concert?
Yes. Book a return trip and agree a meeting point near the venue when you book. Crowds and road closures can make stadium and arena pick-ups slow, so keep your phone switched on and let the driver know when you are leaving. If the event runs late, call us and we will adjust the pick-up.
Do you go to the races at Flemington and Caulfield?
Yes. We take passengers from the Peninsula and Frankston to Flemington and Caulfield, as well as to Mornington Racecourse and Cranbourne. Big race days bring heavy traffic and busy drop-off areas, so book well ahead and allow extra time. Groups can travel together in the Maxi.
Can a wheelchair user come to an event with friends?
Yes. Our wheelchair accessible van carries one wheelchair plus four seated passengers, and the Maxi WAT carries two wheelchairs plus six seated passengers. Both have four-point restraints and lap-sash seatbelts, so a wheelchair user can travel in the same vehicle as friends or family to the game, concert or show.
Can you plan a day trip around the Peninsula for us?
We can help you shape a simple day out, such as a drive along the bay to Sorrento, lunch in Red Hill and a stop at Arthurs Seat. Tell us what interests your group, any mobility needs and how long you want to be out, and we will suggest a plan and a suitable vehicle.
How do we book an event trip?
Use the online form, which takes about two minutes, or ring us with the event, the venue, the number of passengers and when you want collecting afterwards. An SMS or email confirms the booking. The booking form shows a fare estimate, and we can provide a fixed quote on request for planned outings.
Questions about events & day trips from portsea
How long does it take from Portsea to Centro di Melbourne (CBD)?
About 80 minutes without traffic. We add time for loading and securing your wheelchair, and for peak-hour traffic, when we plan your pick-up.
How much does it cost for events & day trips from Portsea?
Fares depend on distance, time of day and waiting time. The booking form shows an estimate, or ask us for a fixed quote.
Can you pick me up from my home, a hospital or an aged-care home in Portsea?
Yes. We pick up from any address — homes, hospitals, clinics, aged-care homes and day programs — and help you from the door to the vehicle.
Can you take us to Point Nepean National Park from Portsea?
Yes. We usually drop off at the main visitor area near the park entrance, where the Quarantine Station precinct is. Let us know if you would like to be collected later, and book a set time since mobile reception can be unreliable in parts of the park. Accessible vehicles are available for wheelchair users.
Will you pick up from the Portsea Hotel late at night?
We can. Summer evenings at the Portsea Hotel are busy, so book your trip home in advance and agree a pick-up point out of the main crowd. Groups heading back to Sorrento, Rye or further can share the Maxi WAT, which seats six plus two wheelchairs.
How do I get from Portsea to Melbourne Airport?
Book a taxi at least a day ahead and give us your flight time, so we can plan a pick-up that allows for traffic along Point Nepean Road and the freeways. For the trip home, add your flight number and we will track it. A fixed quote is available on request for this longer journey.
