If not booking ahead? There is no guaranteed service for walk up enquiries from the Airport Shuttle desk . Hours and availability have changed in 2021. The dedicated  shuttle desk at the airport can have limited or no availability during peak times like Easter 2021. Our service was fully booked for 10 out of 14 days over Easter 2021. Other businesses have bigger buses that go via Palm Cove and add an extra 30 mins to the shorter 60 minute direct journey. Walk up wait for shuttles can extend to 2 hours later in the day, during busy periods and equally during light travel periods like the current COVID situation. While there is usually capacity - the sometimes 50 seater buses can quickly fill during peak season and you may be queued for the next bus. By booking ahead with CairnsAirportShuttle.net you can fly and arrive with the peace of mind of transport already booked. This a great way to get to your Port Douglas accommodation and start your Far North Queensland Tropical holiday.
