If not booking ahead? There is a dedicated  shuttle desk at the airport with fixed departures times during the day, but these are bigger buses that go via Palm Cove and add an extra 30 mins to the shorter 60 minute journey. Walk up wait for shuttles can extend to 2 hours later in the day or during busy periods. 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 peace of mind of a transport already booked. This a great way to get to your Port Douglas accommodation and start your Far North Queensland Tropical holiday.
