THE ROUTE

Ferry crossing to the Daintree and direct links inland

The service covers a range of endpoints — including transfers that cross the Daintree ferry — providing direct transport from Cairns Airport to rainforest and coastal destinations without the need to change vehicles.

THE COVERAGE

From Goldsborough Valley to Port Douglas

Routes run from short transfers to nearby valleys and coastal spots through longer transfers to regional towns such as Yungaburra, Mareeba, Malanda and Atherton, giving you a single operator to bridge airport and destination.

THE TIMING

Published durations and fares by destination

Transfer times and fares are published by destination — for example, many inland and nearby transfers are listed at about 1 hour 30 minutes, while trips to the Daintree and Port Douglas are scheduled at roughly 2 hours, with corresponding fares noted per route.

What the day feels like

What the transfer feels like

These transfers are straightforward, door‑to‑door services: you are collected from your hotel or chosen pick‑up point and driven on a single, scheduled route to your destination, whether that’s a nearby valley, a tablelands town or the ferry to the Daintree — a simple, practical alternative to piecing together local buses and taxis.
