Record Breaking Visitation
Cairns and Port Douglas are still receiving very high rates of visitation. This is possibly due to low confidence in some overseas destinations. The point is, book as much as you can well ahead of time from transfers to restaurants and day tours.

Free Baby and Booster Seats
We use Britax Safe n Sound Baby Seats. You must advise us of your needs including child's age at the time of booking. Remember, it's a winding road to Port Douglas and motion sickness is common. Keep the kids off the iPad for the journey to avoid mishaps.

Car Hire Costs Fuelling Transfer Demand
You may have noticed the alarmingly high prices of hire cars out of Cairns Airport. Car rental companies say it's due to having not been able to the replentish stock they sold to survive COVID. Whatever the reason, the high prices have made private transfers even more popular.

Rates are here - No need to request a quote
Please don't email us for a quote. These are our rates. A transfer costs the same amount if you are one person or a family of 6. Please be aware that a 10% surcharge also applies for Sundays, Queensland Public Holidays and jobs with pick ups after 10pm and before 6am.

Private Transfer - Not a Shuttle
We are a private transfer operator which means you book the whole vehicle and it is the same price if there is one of you or six of you. A shuttle is where you book a seat in a bus that leaves at a set time, stopping at multiple places and takes three times longer than you expected.
