Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    A very good telephone booking system backed by mostly excellent drivers. However one driver shot past the pickup address and we were expected to cross the road to him. Another elderly driver had no idea of our destination and so we walked three blocks

    Coach picked us up on time and the sky rail was wonderful. Kuranda was charming and we visited the Koalas and birds and enjoyed the shops walking back to the station. A trip not to be missed.

    Thanks Rory for a fabulous day! We took this tour from our Cruise ship and were delighted with our choice! It was such a great way to overview the area - loved our quick dip at the crystal cascades and our stroll around Palm Cove. We could have stayed longer at both of these but you were up front right from the start about our time there. We felt very spoilt, drinks a plenty and you couldn't do enough to maximise our comfort. The whole group singing Bohemian Rhapsody on our way back was such a blast. Our heartfelt thanks. Tanya & Eddie

    Usually would get uber until I've had the family 5 adults with all the gear. So the last few trips a friend put me onto CRMGT and it was seamless. Tony the driver met us at the baggage carousels and looked after everything from there in a spotless aicon and modern minibus. Highly recommended and very good value

    Could not be happier! Coral coast transport was the best company to have gone through. From being picked up in new, clean vehicle, Maddelene was an amazing driver, with an incredible knowledge about cairns. Bookings were so easy and the response time was immediate, she took us to so many places, which were incredible, our favourites were port Douglas and palm cove. Will definitely come back with more of my friends her car can hold up to 7, with the availability of baby/booster seat, free of charge! A few of my friends will definitely take advantage of that. Private transfers are definitely the way to go, especially with this company. Thanks heaps maddelene! We will be back

    These shutters although pricey if you're doing it every day as we were but very quick, arriving every fifteen minutes and also just a phone call away should you need a pick up from town. They're arrive in as little as five minutes! Really convenient and friendly drivers. I would definitely recommend them

    After reading the reviews on a trip advisor, we arranged a transfer with Max via email from England. Our first transfer was from Cairns Airport to our Hotel. Then the following transfer was from the hotel to Port Douglas. Finally our last pick up was from Port Douglas to Cairn Airport Max fulfilled our wish, he was a real gentleman, full of knowledge and understanding. He even stopped his car to show us beautiful coastal scenery. we were privileged to have met a such a wonderful person who has now become a part of our family. Thanks Max from Patel Family.xx

    Took the bus from Cairns to Normanton as part of the Savannahlander train trip. I did expect the bus/coach to have toilet facilities.

    This trip takes 10 hours. Yes, there are toilet stops along the way, but they are not the best, or cleanest facilities one could hope for.

    And what is it with the seatbelts on the bus? They are so tight on one's shoulder; no "give" in them at all. Whoever tensioned these seatbelts has never had to sit strapped in the seat for ten hours.

    It is a long and exhausting ride and not one I would do again.

    There is an airport at Normanton, I'd take a flight from Cairns; if there's a next time.

    The Driver was polite, knowledgeable and on time! The car was clean and he had water bottles for both of us. We felt the rate was very reasonable.

    We are happy to recommend Cairns Airport Shuttle. We booked easily online and received an email confirmation.
    We were picked up at the airport and dropped off at our accommodation in Port Douglas. The return transfer was confirmed and communicated to us and we were picked up with plenty of time to catch our flight home.
    The whole process was seamless. Exactly what you need on a holiday.

    I used the government subsidised Sunbus for a couple of days while I was in Cairns, visiting Palm Cove one day - an enjoyable journey - as well as a major shopping centre at Smithfield and on another day the excellent Cairns Botanical Gardens.

    It was easy to buy a day ticket (cash only) on board the bus.

    Drivers were friendly despite the large number of tourists with which they deal, some of whom needed help to know where to alight.

    Buses are airconditioned, low floor and have sufficient space for backpacks and suitcases.
