February 2019: $145 return transfer x 2 adults - that's $36.25 per person each way, less for more! - book Cairns Airport to Port Douglas shuttle bus. Why get to the walk up Cairns airport shuttle and pay $47 one way to Port Douglas, wait longer at the airport and spend extra time going via Palm Cove?
