Cairns Airport to Port Douglas Transfer
$273.90 flat · up to 8 passengers · not per person · one way
The Cairns to Port Douglas road hugs the coast between the rainforest and the Coral Sea. It is a genuinely scenic hour, and it is also long enough that a shared shuttle bus with multiple hotel drop-offs can turn into two hours. A private transfer goes straight through.
Drive time
About 60 to 70 minutes — 67 km north on the Captain Cook Highway, one of the best coastal drives in Australia.
