Our flight into Cairns was running nearly an hour late but the driver had already checked the board and was waiting at arrivals. Car seat was fitted properly, cool air-con and we were in Port Douglas before the kids even finished their snacks.

Return pickup was bang on time both ways. WhatsApp updates were handy and our driver was patient with the kids and all the luggage. Took the coastal road so we could enjoy the view on the way in.

Booked the transfer on my phone the night before. Fixed price, no mucking around, and plenty of room for my big suitcase and surfboard bag. The driver gave a couple of local tips for my next trip up the coast.

We had a late evening arrival and didn’t feel like dealing with taxis. The van was spotless, bottled water waiting and the driver helped with bags all the way to the apartment door.

Use Port Douglas Transport every swing. Drivers are friendly, the price is the same every time and they understand flight changes. Makes the last leg home from site so much easier.

Easy booking, clear confirmation email and a text the night before pickup. The driver loaded our golf clubs and esky without any fuss. Would happily recommend to friends coming up from Sydney.
