Port Douglas Situation
The coastal route to Port Douglas is closed for an indeterminate period. It will be possible to get there via Mareeba. This is significantly longer and will therefore cost more. Stay up to date here https://qldtraffic.qld.gov.au/?id=608461

Fitted and Free Child/Baby Seats
Child/baby seats are compulsory in QLD for children under 7 travelling on private transport. Ensure you request child/baby seats at time of booking, as we are not permitted to transfer you without them. If you are going to Port Douglas or beyond, the road is long, hilly and winding. Motion sickness is common. Avoid mishaps by ensuring children have at least an hour’s gap after eating, take small sips of fluid only and keep them off electronic devices during the transfer.

Private transfers are a better experience
Sapphire Transfers is private transfer operator. This is different to a shuttle service which takes you and a load of strangers on a long and uncomfortable journey to your final destination. Private transfer means only you and your group are transferred straight through to your destination. If you have children under 7, our vehicle arrives with the mandatory seats already fitted and free of charge. (Do not forget to request them).
