About Port Douglas Transport
Local transfers, built around Port Douglas.
We started Port Douglas Transport to make Cairns Airport transfers simple, on-time and relaxed – with a fleet of private cars, premium SUVs and modern vans sized for couples, families and groups.
Locally owned FNQ business
Port Douglas & Cairns Airport specialists
Private & shared transfers
Far North Queensland corridor
Our story in Far North Queensland.
After years of driving coaches and smaller vehicles up and down the Captain Cook Highway, we saw the same problem again and again: visitors arriving at Cairns Airport unsure who to trust, where to wait, or how long the trip to Port Douglas would really take.
Port Douglas Transport was created to take that uncertainty away – with pre-booked transfers, fixed fares and local drivers who treat every trip like they’re picking up family.
Today we run a modern fleet of sedans, Prados, people-movers and larger vans, backed by live flight monitoring, clear communication and a small operations team based right here in Port Douglas.

What we stand for
Four things every trip is built on.
Every Port Douglas Transport journey is built around four promises: safety, on-time & transparent pricing, local FNQ knowledge and genuinely holiday-friendly service.
On-time & transparent.
We track flights, share clear pickup details and use fixed fares – so there are no surprises when you arrive or when it’s time to head home.
Local knowledge.
Our drivers live in FNQ. They know the resorts, the weather and the best places to stop for that first view of the Coral Sea.
Holiday-friendly service.
Extra luggage, children’s seats or a quick supermarket stop? Let us know when you book and we’ll build it into your transfer plan.
The people behind the wheel
Professional drivers, relaxed service.
We hand-pick experienced local drivers and keep them in a tight team across our cars, Prados and vans – they know the road between Cairns and Port Douglas like the back of their hand.
- Accredited Queensland drivers with commercial licenses.
- Regular training in safety, accessibility and guest service.
- Friendly, down-to-earth style – no rush, no stress.
