Exceptional Excellent service! I just got back from a lovely waterfall trip with Steven, who is a very knowledgeable and super helpful guide. Despite the unseasonable and continuous rain he was able to show me everything on my list and I got to do what I wanted in a safe and pleasant manner — I did even swim for <5 minutes at Lake Barrine. Highly recommend this company.

Perfect Service Late night arrival in Cairns required a personal transfer to Port Douglas. Worth the price for the peace of mind of the door to door service at that late hour. Interesting chat with the driver, who told some interesting stories along the way.

Comfortable transfer to Port Douglas Steven King provided us with a very comfortable private transfer from Cairns to Port Douglas after a late night arrival into Cairns. Steven was punctual, friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable about the local area. I would use this service again and recommend it to others.

Outstanding Transfer Service We’ve now used Port Douglas transfers 3 times.The booking process was easy and the updates/confirmations provided gave us peace of mind that our booking would arrive on time. The drivers were punctual and the vehicles were comfortable and clean. Each driver of the transfers we’ve had this time and previously were professional, courteous and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend Port Douglas Transfers to anyone requiring a transfer service in Cairns/Port Douglas areas.

What a pleasure it was to travel with Port Douglas Transfers! We travelled return from Cairns Airport to our accommodation in Port Douglas. The vehicle was perfectly clean, the driving was safe and courteous, and our driver Katie felt like an old friend by the time our return trip was complete. She was so helpful with our bags upon arrival too. Can't recommend more highly.
