Narelle M2024-03-11Cruise tour We booked a private round trip from the cairns cruise terminal to Port Douglas. From the start booking was easy. Our driver Neil was fantastic. Very patient and helpful with my elderly mother and disabled brother. Very knowledgeable about the local area
Rosie M2024-01-03Taken advantage off Peter was an excellent driver but we have been taken for a ride. $400 one wa, not our fault main road was closed. We should not be taken advantaged off. Other companies charging $250. We found this out next day. Will not use this company againRosie M2024-01-03Disappointed with cost for one way Very happy with Peter the driver but I feel tourists have been taken advantage off. At this time when main road it closed we should not be paying $400 for one way. We should be encouraged to come not be taken for a ride as we have no other option
Shae W2023-11-15Wonderful driver Really great company. We arrived late at night at Cairns airport and weren’t sure we would make it to Port Douglas that evening. After booking with port Douglas transfers we felt in good hands. Great communication and timely arrival. The driver was very informative and gave us a wonderfully detailed history of the area. 100% would recommend.

Vicki Kurth13/01/2024Under extreme circumstances Port Douglas Transfers delivered us home safely. Our driver Stephen was very professional and well informed. Thank you Lance for making this happen 👏
CarpeDiem09/01/2024Holidays are still on ! Our family travelled the inland tablelands road with Port Douglas transfers this week and it was an effortless ride end to end. Lance met us at the Airport and made the trip so easy and we enjoyed the scenery of the inland road detour (currently in place due to the main highway being damaged). Port Douglas is beautifully equiped and ready for holiday makers.
Justin Mackay09/01/2024We used Port Douglas Transfers today on our return from xmas holidays. Lance our driver was on time and service was amazing, we travelled the inland road from Cairns to Port Douglas. It is a very nice drive, Lance was able to point out places to eat and see on the drive. I highly reccomend Port Douglas Transfers for your next holiday to the tropics.
Cheryl Christie26/12/2023Very prompt and professional. Up to date reminders of your pickup and you can even track the driver. Company just took my daughter to Cairns and i felt very relaxed. Gary was very friendly. Highly recommended.
Livia Sirianni11/12/2023Gary was fantastic, very helpful and professional, the company communication was top notch, notifications before during and after our transfer which was so pleasantly unexpected but made all the difference and he was very helpful to pick us up earlier as we were worried about missing our flight. The transfer car was top notch too. Would highly recommend!
Renee Reynolds10/12/2023Lance was so accommodating from the initial inquiry until the final drop off we were looked after. Luxury, private travel at an affordable price. Highly recommended and we will definitely use again.
