About this tour
A private door-to-door transfer between Port Douglas and Cairns Airport (one way, approximately 1 hour). You'll be met by name at the terminal and driven direct to your accommodation with no other passengers or stops — useful if you're arriving with luggage or need to time an outbound flight precisely. Available 24/7, though after-hours bookings incur a surcharge.

What to expect
You'll be met at Cairns Airport Domestic Terminal 1 or 2 by your driver holding a name sign. After a brief greeting, you'll head straight to the vehicle — no hanging about the terminal. The drive to Port Douglas takes roughly an hour on a direct route; the vehicle is air-conditioned and comfortable. Your driver will drop you directly at your accommodation entrance, help with luggage, and you're done.
For return trips, the process reverses: the driver tracks your flight and arrives at your hotel at the arranged time, then drives you back to the airport for check-in. No detours, no additional passengers.

Good to know
Ideal for anyone who wants to skip taxi ranks and shared shuttles, or who's arriving with a lot of luggage. Works for families, business travellers, and people on tight schedules. Note: bookings made less than 48 hours before pickup may not be guaranteed. Transfers outside standard hours (5pm–6am) and public holidays attract extra charges. Child seats cost $10 to hire; oversized items like golf bags or surfboards incur fees ($11–$27.50) and must be flagged in advance. Pickups from Cairns CBD, Esplanade, or the train station add $20 per booking. Multiple stops (e.g. to collect keys or groceries) cost $11 per 5 minutes if pre-arranged. Standard hours are 6am–5pm.
